Indey Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 wow! that looks very good condition!. now lower that bad boy + zg flares + deeeeep rims and ur good to go! good stuff I completely agree with you, unfortunately it's not my car it's hers =P she just wants to put on some fender mounted mirrors and headlight covers, and possibly lower it just a little bit, while leaving everything else stock for the time being and just restoring it. Beautiful car! Would be even better w/out the fart-box. Agreed, the muffler is terrible looking, but if it's any consolation it sounds decent. Regardless that will be replaced as well for something much nicer. and thanks for the compliments guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau M Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 A good way to not be allowed on the internet by your girl is to say "hey, the guys on this forum I go to want me to post pics of you. Is that OK?" Denied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boardkid280z Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 That's great that she has her own opinions on what she wants to do with the car. Encourage that in every way, if everyone did what the folks on Hybridz told them to do, no one would have their own unique car. I personally like the muffler. It's got kind of the shorty/I-mean-business look. Lowering would be OK, but the current stance is nice and classic. I wish more people did the fender mirrors those are cool. And headlight covers really make a Z look sleeker. Again, tell her to do whatever she thinks is best, that's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, tell her to do whatever she thinks is best, that's awesome. as said the muffler SOUNDS good, it just looks horrible to us...that and it is an OBX-R product, and well...obx is terrible =P and as much as i do want to see fender flares and wide ass panasports on it cause im stupid and trendy and i think the 280 in wangan midnight is completely badass, it's her car she wants to restore it so cool...we'll do that, and just do a few other things to it, she might do a few other things to it, ie fairlady badges, POSSIBLY change the wheels later but really not all too much.

Indey Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 and today starts the work on the car! putting on a new valve cover gasket, because the one thats on there is bad. Changing the oil, Putting on a new fuel line, because the last owner put on a fuel line that wasn't meant for fuel injection so it leaks under pressure. Painting the valve cover, Painting the stock intake box, Checking the air filter, Changing the shifter bushings, Straightening out her shift knob blah blah blah etc etc etc =P pictures later!
