I see no stripes...

I came here expecting to see a striped Z, and I see nothing near that... WTF

 

where did you get the body kit from nice. im really liking the dash!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey, he can buy the parts back from the guy who stole them on Ebay

Although I guess I shouldn't be laughing that could happen to anyone's Roadster

 

Might as well mod the hell out of it, with the theft recovery title it will be hard to get your $ back out.

pics of the build

 

ha I WISH!!

 

GL.ppw ftw!

 

Ok so here are some pix of what ive been doing so far..


rear bumper is done! cover is at the paint shop.





damn wires going to the fans and some other stuff are cut...thats the only major thing so far..



they also cut the AC lines..one is ok as its short and goes right to the AC pump but the other one is a long *** one going to the firewall. That was a pain in the *** to replace. But its done now!





The front end is starting to come together as well..










i only get about an hour or so each day to work on it so its kinda going slow, as soon as i get the body parts back from paint the car should start looking like a car.

 

Looks like good progress. I hope things continue to go well.

 

It doesn't look that bad at all. It's all bolt on work only. I've but strip cars together before. One of trhe best deals I got was bought an integra (strip like the op z)in 1996 for dirt cheap ($2000) and put it all back together for another ($2000). Some A-holes stole it after a few months and insurance paid out $10-$12K.

Good find bro and nothing like a project to learn the in and outs of a Z.

 

Don worry about the wire harness being cut. You can buy a complete wire harness from the JY (junk yards) for $100 - $250. Tell them to through the AC lines as well. Most JY sell the Long Blocks with out the wire harness. So they are a number of them left in the JY.

 

Hmm, all of the body parts you're missing can be ordered in CF saves on paint costs.

 

Way too expensive to order that way..its better to repaint used parts.

 

Now, you've already started work...YOU PROMISED!!!

lookin good. I think your biggest problem is you need new tires.

 

Good luck with the build. It looks like its going to be a long road.

 

I've gotta say, I'm really curious to see how this pans out.

 

Subscribing for finished project!


G/L!!

 

Cali I think I may have some stock parts laying around I'll make a list and you can go from there.

 

+1 there are a lot of haters on here. I think you can build it back to stock or maybe now would be a perfect time to throw in a nice body kit. Keep us posted on how the build is going. The car has potential it's just going to cost a lot on money.

Good Luck

 

I thought this thread was titled ..picked up a stripper...and wondered why there were all these pics of this white roadster in here..congrats though. ...doesn't look that bad.
