    Hey everyone, I thought you all might get a kick out this abomination 300ZX which is going to be featured on
    "Wrench Everyday"'s YouTube channel.



    Anyways if you want to know the short of the video, a YouTuber named Tavarish who has a few project cars he features rebuilds on, including a 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Spider, a fire damaged Ferrari F335 and a Toyota Supra just to know a few, has just purchased for his second more budget friendly YouTube channel "Wrenches Everyday" a sad looking 300zx with a twist, its a VH45 powered 300zx but this car is a total mess, the original owner sold the car for $1500 USD as an unfinished project car which the owner was planning to install a diesel turbo onto his VH45 swap and then make a custom exhaust system exit through the rear center panel. The interior is shocking with a mess of of under-dash wiring loom hack job and the heater core system moved to the boot so he could fit the turbo as well as the rad support panel that has be cut to allow the radiator to fit, its pretty depressing to be honest in my mind anyways.

    I've seen Tavarish's earlier videos regarding the lambo and ferrari builds which I have found interesting to watch and see some of the problems these expensive car have he has to fix. and I'm hoping he can bring this car back to a more decent state and maybe put the 300zx on the YouTube map for a little bit and help motive me to keep working on my own Z for the time being.

    If you watched the video what do you guys think of this poor Z the original owner needs to be shot that is for sure.​

    I'll give it a watch... I found old Tavarish got a bit too much into the talking and not enough into the doing. He hasn't been too good with finishing many of the projects either.

    They should have just spend some extra $ to get one in better shape and turn that into a project car.
    This is a POS.

    With the replacement underdash harness installed, the car now starts, runs but barely idles and even drives under its own power. well done guys.​

    Looks like Earl (first Z) is now no more, due to the long list of issues the car has the guys decided turn earl into a parts car. But the guys have brought a new Z this time a 2+0 NA and this one may be more original then the first Z but damn its still a pretty rough example. Hopefully they can turn this new Z into something decent.​

    The guys take a good look at the new Earl 2.0 and see exactly what condition this new Z is in. After attempting to start the car several times to no avail the guys pushed the car into position and got it up onto the lift where they found a few goodies including an unusual rusty but custom made cat back exhaust system and a decent sized rust hole under the battery tray.​

    After a long break, the guys have jump straight back into the Z project and this time they are installing a new wide body kit custom made by "pakmanz" to Earl 2.0. Though I have never heard of this famous Z person from over here in AUS, the body kit he has designed its pretty decent compared to some of the others I've seen over the years.​

    So for the first time we have 2 videos in 2 days and in this episode the guys are installing the rear qauter panel and side skirt addons for the wide body kit. Some fabrication was required to the wheel weels to to make the kit fit properly. Next episode the guys plan to do more mechanical work with the VH45 engine and maybe install it into the earl leeker.​

    Yeah I'm really not a fan of that kit... I guess I don't have to be it's not my car and all that but I don't understand the fuss people make over it.

    Still content is content!

    Personally its looks ok to me on a Z and it lloks alot better then some of the wide body kits out there ive seen over the years. But i thought twinz had the best looking wide body kit out there on the market atm, im surprised he didnt use that kit instead of this one

    Its a sad day for me on this episode Earl Leeker is getting his OEM VG30DE engine pulled so a crappy 2JZ motor can be dropped in all in the name of Horse Power:(. Apparantly the guys think the VG30 isn't ecomonical enough to produce the power they want for this build. Sigh

    The only positive that I found out of this episode was the fact the guys plan to tear down the VG30DE engine down in a future episode and show us all the parts of an engine.​
