Skid's '89 Z32 TT 2+2 targa build.

how are you gonna remember where everything goes, and what bolts to use lol

 

All fixed I changed the screen opening mode and could view it much better..

 

Ummmm zip bags + vivid marker...

other trick is push them into a piece of cardboard and label them...

painted the rear subframe and suspension arms and fuel and brake line in gunmetal grey metallic hammer finish...

will post pics when i get around to it :zlove:

 

Update:

Got some different wheels, underbody fully body deadened including arch's...

then a tough enamel gloss bloack top coat and cleared underneath.

tough black in engine bay with exhaust heat paint along the chassis rails...

subframes painted and going back in etc etc...

interior black vinyl retrim about to begin.

Enjoy...

Pics:

 

Great stuff

Already it's looking so much better. Keep it up and keep posting the pics. Good luck!

 

Thanks dude, been putting in the hours lately lol

 

Mate,

Great work so far. Looks like you're doing a pretty thorough job instead of going with quick and easy. Enjoying the updated pics!!

 

woah very nice update heaps fo work done already keep it coming looking forward to seeing more updates

 

cheers guys, i need to throw some more hours in to have it on the road by summer.

 

Bit of an update, pretty slow progress lately, been working for a mate a bit as he is short staffed, gives me a bit more to spend on goodies i guess.

Currently stripping out my old red z32, bent a brake line from the grey one accidently, so had to grab one from the red Z, hoping to have the subframes in by the weekend but i'm not going to rush it and go stuffing up the hard work this late in the game with the underbody.

i'll snap a couple of pic of the red one today.

Now that the underbody is fully finished in the grey one it should start coming together fast shortly. :zlove:

 

UPDATE:

Fuel and brake hard lines installed.

Rear subframe installed.

Bought soem factory leather rear seats and put those in too.

I'll try get pics of that soon.

These should keep ya going for now....

parted my old red Z as well. may she rip.

 

Tis a big job you have ahead of you but good on you for taking it on. As for the red z its another one bites the dust I suppose, such a pity we cant save them all.

 

I had all the parts to save it with a live registration i offered it to mny people free to build up and nobody wanted it, i would have loved to have kept it but one is enough, and the red one has helped with the grey one, i'm just glad i wasnt too attached to the red one, my first ever Z / sports car, did about 500km's total in it plagued by mechanical problems everything about that car just wanted it to die. it was for the best the shell went to a place where it will become concrete reinforcing bar for a new building in the CBD apparently... so i can visit it

enough of the soppy shite, diff and fuel tank going in tommorrow yeah baby!

:br:

 

Diff and fuel tank in, picking up an n/a engine this week to get it on the road for summer..... vh will have to wait a while.

 

Havn't posted in a while, been um, busy :jack:

 

Okay every other build thread gets replied to except mine it seems so im not going to bother....

 

im still reading it.........

would be good to see progress on the engine-interior if there is any?

 

I'm still reading too. With the last pics you posted - what was the work done?

Happy to keep reading if you keep posting.

 

alright as long as somebody is out there lol

with the pics all the suspension is in which is wasnt before.... ummm first time its been back on all fours in a while lol...

i've just put all the dash and guages in and swapped all the looms over. so ill get some pics of that soon, i'm going to do the interior retrim later on so its a bit rough, but i need to get it out of mums garage due to house being on market so im just aiming to get it on the road for now...

engine is sitting in there, pulling it out after the madness of xmas and new years settles a bit, then ill paint that up and get the box hooked on, do all the egr and t/b water bypasses etc.

paint the exhaust, errr put the seats back in put all the computers in, bits and pieces here and there and i will be away laughing,

i hope. lol

:br:

 

Looking good so far. What's plans for the body? Just paint or completely new bodykit?
