selling the old set of wheels. Gotta get extra funds to finish this off... I am way in the whole arleady and I just want to get it running and on the road. I'll worry about another set or something equally as impressive later. Rigth now I just need my car back in my garage. I am going through withdraw. I have the wheels listed locally on CL. hopefully get some decent cash for a rare set of wheels.

we got the clutch worked out, waiting on the clutch bolts to come in, had to special order some custom length bolts with the spacer for the clutch and flywheel, and got the power steering hose made, i have to take credit for the creative idea of how we got that worked out but hopefully have a startup by next week, at that point all we have to do is finish the exhaust.

I am very happy with the finish in the Engine bay.

Everything you've done to this car is flawless. While I'm not personally a fan of all of the mods, you've really made it as clean as possible and, more importantly, exactly how you want it. It's hard not to respect that.

Honestly, what I like the most is that you've taken all the money and put it into the one car you love, as opposed to using it to buy something that's faster on a stock set up. You're taking the Z to a new level with the engine swap and I can't wait to see the finished product!

It definately hasn't been easy or quick. I think the whole thing for me is to have something truely unique, that is tasteful, and mine. I want to get it featured in a magazine and I have see a lot of **** in magazines that aren't nearly as detail oriented as my car. We'll see where it goes though! Thanks for the kind words it really helps keep the dream alive when it gets tough and things don't work out the way they should.

It's awesome that you are doing something for yourself. I love the colour.
Might be time for a name change on these forums though. Doesn't suit you anymore.

I honestly would have changed the name on here when I changed the color as I did on other sites but I have no idea how. If you do know please inform me! Thanks for the props. I really wanna do something with this car above and beyond what most people do, and I don't just want a bunch of fiberglass **** and big speakers inside and make it obnoxious.

For your name just message an admin on this site with the name you want it to be changed to and they will do it for you, just make sure its available before you do
