Oops, forgot to update..... I have been back for almost a year now. It's been really slow. I've been fighting with a divorce since January. I am now working on my z again. I just dropped a used 2.4 into her and am working on getting her running and driving. Work keeps me away. But she is close to being started up since around 1994. Then its a matter of getting her in my name. I have some pictures and hopefully a video to post soon.

Ok, status update. I fired up the new to me engine. I got her titled and registered. I just picked up a radiator that will fit from a junk yard out of a Pontiac Fiero. I am trying to get her cleaned up and on the road. I will also be trying to post Pictures and maybe a video soon. Its hard to do the work and take pics and video by myself.... But its all getting done.

So far this is the only picture I have. I installed the Throttle linkage that I bought from 1 Tuff Z. I promise I'll get more posted soon. Unfortunately, I have to rebuild the rear carb do to it leaking fuel out like Niagara Falls....

Ok, Here is my new link to my album. I will keep posting pics as I go. I just put the radiator from a Fiero and did some redneck engineering to mount it lol. Pics included.

So over the New Years weekend, I ended up working at a farm and didn't get anything done with the z.... I am looking for a used pass wheel cylinder. (hint-hint) If anybody has one, I am in need. I don't want to buy a new one, I have plans on upgrading to Disc soon, so It would be needed just for the time being. Hopefully I can get some things done on her.

Wow. I have neglected this post.... well, With everything going the way it did, I sold the z. I am now out of the Army with a medical discharge. I just purchased a 260z from a member on here from San Diego. Right after I did, had to move. So now I'm back in Clarksville. I've been doing little things on the 260. Attaching my fenders, figuring out the needed pieces to the intercooler piping. And whatnot. So, as time goes by, I'll try to keep whoever want to follow, updated. Lol. At the same time, I am in school and busy with life. So it'll probably be slow still....

So I ordered some of the fender mirrors off of ebay, and a shifter bushing kit also off ebay. I also picked up a set of used hood vents. Im not sure about the fender mirrors though. Really 100% plastic and Im not sure how they would hold up after time. So im probably going to spend some good money for real ones. The hood vents need to be sanded down and repaired. They are missing some of the bolts that hold them on. And hopefully all will be fine.
