She lives!

So I got kind of caught up in life and the Z was left neglected. She's been on stands for 3 years or longer when I started this crazy project. I finally did it though, S14 subframe into a 280z 2+2. Wider stance, disk brakes, CV upgrade, better suspension, etc.

Still alot of work to do but she is finally sitting on the ground again!

here are some fabrication shots

cutting out the rear seat rest only to find more hidden rust (what a surprise in a Z!) then cutting floor board for lower mounts

Not the prettiest bead but it's solid. I was really proud of how well I fit this tube to the sheet metal.

mocking up the mount, still fitting the down tubes.

Plate tacked in place, trying to finalize where the mount needs to be welded to the plate.

another photo of welded mount, hard to get in there with welding helmet on.

 

I'm proud of it, was my first time welding something structural I guess you could say.

I'll accept criticism, but please be kind.
