Nice man, the interior looks worlds better than when i sat in it and drove it back in April. But still, the one thing that needed to be done you haven't done paint!!! you said your brother was a sprayer whats the go!?!?! overall though well done on persisting, i know you wanted to sell it at one point and the flurry of mechanical problems that happened at the start. enjoy matt.
yeah haha i sat in the car for hour's cleaning it so it comes up nice an good my brother is no longer in town, so one of he's best mate's is a spray painter so he's doing it cheap for me but i don't know what colour to get tho? i was thinking staying with yellow but the nice shinning one or baby blue? what do you think?. yes at one point i did want to sell it because of how many problem's it was having and the family problem's i was having at home, but every thing is starting to work out good for me . and oh i forgot to say i also bourt 5 new gauge's that will be geting put in soon
Well..... the stock colour was yellow and someone has done that DIY spraycan yellow over the top (look at the engine bay overspray)... Really depends how far you want to take it.. if you get a colour change though id go maybe, aztec red. matt.
btw also for got agin to say i'm geting Extractors > catalytic converters > Hotdog resonators > Magnaflow mufflers > Twin up pipes.( all like that on each side ) 2.5" system geting that all done for $1350 all fitted to! so im happy with that will be uploading video for you's all!
Looks very clean, only thing I would change is get rid of the pretend checker plate floor mats vomit plus you need to tighten your hand brake Can't really see the paint, looks fine and clean to me in the pics Otherwise a nice clean looking Z you have there (and if you really like the mats, don't mind my comment....just personal preferences ) Cheers, Craig
Extremely clean Z for the price, overspray should be fairly simple to cleanup and in all honesty if you like the yellow keep it yellow, you'll be a beacon in a sea of red and black at cruises I'd say do a bit more research on the exhaust before you decide on your bits as extractors wont be of much use... Either way, you're doing it right.
The car looks real good, i reckon you should keep it yellow, I think it's a pretty neat colour for the Z, Aztec red is also another Z colour.
I guess it's more of a terminology thing, extractors vs. dumps and headers, intake manifold vs. plenum.
