So today pretty much sucked. I need to get the interior smooth and scuffed for paint. There is residue from the sound dampener all over and the wire wheel is a pain. We tried using media blasting. First we did glass media... Fail. The glass want' cheap and it was useless. I went to home depot for 20 grit sand it was working good for a minute, until the blaster broke. I'm really thinking of paying a local media blaster to do it.

The engine bay is shaved and prepped for paint. I will post pics soon.

 

fantastic

 

at least you're willing to outsource. didn't realize that part was so tough.

 

try using 3m adhesive remover to get the goo off

 

Didn't outsource! I will not be defeated!

so this weekend i spent some time getting all the McNasty out of the car. Seam Sealer and the rest of the sound dampener residue out to get the car ready for paint. It was a pain and super time consuming. Spent a good 7hours at IntensePower on Saturday with the wire wheel. Thanks to Mr. Han Wong picking up the brush on aircraft stripper.

Car went from this...




To this...



Still have the drivers side to go. The trunk is clean but i'm going to use stripper on it too.


I want everything looking good and since it's not holding anything up it's for the most part. Still waiting on a few things. After XDC the car is going to Mr. Marstanovic for some wiring magic. All MilSpec wiring with gold connectors and pure sickness. His wiring jobs are nothing but phenomenal.

Stay Tuned...

 

After class I was determined to pull out all of the engine bay wiring. I need to run new brake lines anyway so I pulled that out to. The harness was about 40-50 lbs (a little exaggerated) but then with the break booster and all that garbage. Here are some pics... Now we can completely spray the engine bay.










Going to replace all that with wilwood cluch and brake assembly hopefully soon.

 

That's some serious progress, great project

Just wondering (I'm a noob), is all the stitch wielding inside the cabin for extra regidity or am I missing something.

 

Yes, should stiffen up the chassis.

 

Looking at it overall, I think it was a waste of time. talking to a FD driver he said the 350z/g35 don't really need it because the chassis is stiff as is. It's not like the older 240s that are years old. Trying to keep moving. Hopefully i'll have new wheels ordered in the next day or so.

 

Dash is in there. Needs some more modifications. We are going to build panels to bring it closer to the roll cage so it's cleaner...

 

Love the broom stick mod.

 

Broom's are a big help! a few more things are on the way. I will get pics of them when they come in... but here is a preview...

 

Got word a few days ago the Block is back at the shop with the heads fully machined! Now I need to find wheels!

 

looking Great im subscribed

 

What's the expected completion date?

 

nice man keep it updated, cant wait to the the finished product

 

It was for XDC PHX but the block was dead and the heads needed machine work. Just got work it was sent for balancing today :-)

 

Sick build man i can't wait to see the finished product.

 

It's been a long time. Sorry guys...



The inside is getting painted soon. I will be more proactive shortly.

 

So a little update.

Soon I will have Alex Pfeiffer at BattleVersion cut my gas tank in half. I will be using a Powerlab Twin pump setup to feed fuel. This should also help balance out some weight on the passenger side. Also fix the issue of looking for a new fuel hanger. The chassis and engine harness are on the back burner. My car is going up north for a little project. Should be pretty legit. Let's just say fully affordable angle...
