2fst4u Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Here are some just pics i took ..... Currently the car is gutted. I plan on trying to cut out as much rust as possble and then replace it as usual, but with a twist. After replacing all the floorboards, I plan on taking some polished diamond plate and cutting out the "Z" logo and placing the the diamond plate ontop of the floorboard. The idea is in my head and not yet on paper. For the motor I hace a smooth idea of pulling it, lowering the compression and putting an a stage 1 turbo kit from wrench rat racing. With all parts being replaced of course. As for the hood. I have a fetish with carbon fiber. I think that is all that needs to be said. As for the interior, metal, with diamond plate floorboards, metal sides and such, replacing the seats with "highend" perfromance seats, custom made. as fopr the rear hatch. Since that car has a nice slope the it i plan on welding a flat deck to it in such that it will hold a voltex custom carbon fiber wing. Again plans are in my head and not on paper yet. As for the color . maybe that stock blue with a little pearl. But as for now need to remove as much rust as possible and get the thing primered. I will post pics as progressis shown. i am looking foward to the help and advice from the forum as this happens, and if anybody is close enough to ventura let me know and we can get down on this car thing together. Always many hands make lite work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoov100 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I hope your not using that harness mounted to the floor like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2fst4u Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 I just pulled the interior out today. so i have no idea where anything is "originally" supposed to go. but as for now that is where it is currently located. It was under the passenger seat. Is it supposed to be somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyfriend Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Try reaching to the rear strut bolts. Having it bolted to the floor like that will result in you compressing your spine in a crash. Just look at the physics of it...when you crash (head on), your body wants to pull forwards. Your belt is then pulled forward and it wants to pull more material; it can only get that by going downwards. I probably didn't explain that the best, but just give it a sec and think about it.

2fst4u Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Ok brain fart. we are talking about the racing harness..... not the harness i found under the passenger seats. yes the harness is being moved to the bolts in the rear. So i fully understand what was said before. The harness bolting points will change.... Good looking out thought.... Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
