Zoe! 81 280zx Turbo


Recommended Posts

So ive had my car for about a year and a half now. I recently was going to sell my car but had a change of heart. Love my car too much! Thanks to Yasin and Hughdogz. They are a big inspiration for working on my car. Seeing the devotion they have for the ZX Platform as much as I do just makes me want to do better. Everywhere i go people and friends always tell me. Damn i didnt know the ZX could look like that. It makes me feel really good about my car. Im not going to lie i love the Z platform as well and have owned one. But i prefer the bigger sexy curves of the ZX. Anyways, Im always doing something to my car and just thought id share with my fellow Hybrid members. So with out further due, id like to present my project Zoe! :D

 

This is what Zoe looked like when i first pick her up.

One of the first things i did to the car, obviously after regular maintenence was install some Tinted Headlight covers.

I also fabbed up a strut brace for the rear of the car from some left over parts I had laying around at the shop.

 

You might notice the base for it is a 3 inch exhaust flange. With very minor trimming to one hole, the flange fits the bolt pattern of the rear bolts perfectly.

I love purple and i have incorporated the color into many things. The strut brace is one of them. Except This felt like too much purple.

So I kept a little Purple and Threw some white on it. I was pretty happy for the finished product. As for the strut brace being really effecient. I cant be 100% sure, it does feel like it tighten things up a bit.

Wow that wheel really polished up great! When I saw the first picture of the strut I thought " holy cow that thing is huge!" Then in the next few pics I realized it was camera angle. It looks really good. I like the three legs stand on the strut brace ends alot. It is different from the others i've seen and yours looks much better. Thanks for posting them.
