So how are you feeling about the project? Any hidden damage you didn't expect? Or all going to plan?

 

It hasnt been too bad so far. I wouldnt say anything has been unexpected so far. Its going in to the unibody shop tomorrow night, so thats a step in the right direction. Its gonna be quite a task putting this thing back together. Theres so many trim pieces and bracketry and sound deadening stuff its insane.

 

Can't wait till I see it when it's all done!
Props to you!
Is this Z going to be a daily? or a track car?

 

Challenges are good though.

 

Wow GL with the restoration

 

its gonna be a dd

 

Thanks! ill have more updated pictures before too long

 

Wasn't originally a do up to sell, or are you starting to get attached to the car??

 

lol no, on page 1 i stated that were fixing it up to drive it, not flip it. i would hate doing all this work and not enjoy any of the benefits!

 

Excellent, way to go!!!

 

In for updated pics!

Is this Z off life support yet?

Good Luck!

 

Tbh, I would only pay about $1,000 for that.

 

Nice project!

Not yet, its in the shop for its unibody work as we speak. the unibody guy is doing this on the side, so we arent expecting a quick turn around. I will take pics today though of what I have been doing lately on it!

Thanks! updated pics coming TODAY!

probably why it isnt your project.

 

Bump for a cool project! Looking forward to seeing the latest pics.

 

I lied about getting the pictures up yesterday...my girlfriend occupied my time instead. so its either tonight or tomorrow!

 

At least your keeping us on the loop.

 

Yea I gotta keep you guys and gals on your toes!

 

Update!!!!!!!!!!!!! some parts got some fresh paint!
The story behind the color:
The rear clip that were putting on this Z is redline, so we could choose between the gray and red, so we went with red. we think the color match turned out very well, but its hard to tell exactly how well until the car is put back together. and fyi, the redline paint is EXPENSIVE! Enjoy the pics!


side skirts


we painted the trip piece in the trunk for some extra pizazz!


front bumper


fixing dings in the hood and prepping to paint


the not so fun part: labeling bags and keeping track of bolts/tabs etc.

 

Wow starting to take shape. Excellent choice of colour with Redline!
