Had a little bit of free time yesterday at work so started doing some bits on the zed project!

 

Removed the rear spoiler - should knock about 0.5 sec of the 0-60 time with the weight saving! :biggrin:

Very nice. Did you get the pink knife free with them ?

 

Was supposed to be silver but duffer painted it :sneaky2:

I think it will look nice mate. But then I think you will need to remove the rear spoiler as with a 99 spec front it tones the agressive down a bit.

Muhahahahaha, that brings back memories. :D Good times...

Well, havnt reported anything as got a bit demoralised last week (as you do with these rebuilds!).

Was under the car ready to treat the underside & seam sealer all the joints when I noticed a patch that the restoration shop had not welded properly :no:

 

Good news is they came straight over & are getting it back in to re-weld (they had tacked some plates in position but not welded it up). Bad new is that its right on the wheel arch & may need repainting! :crying:

Good news is they have agreed to pay my mate for any paintwork needed! :thumbup1:

 

At least they are putting it right but just adds more time to the build!

 

So, collected it from the bodyshop & got it back to my garage - time to get a few bits done now. Spoiler now on & 99 rear lights in. Looking good!

 

 

starting to all come together. looks sweet :cool3:

FunkySi would be having a wet dream right now if he could see this :D lol

yeah looking really good fella and i know what you mean about having bad weeks im having one with mine, feels like its never gonna get finished

are they prone to rusting out here as mine did too but i made my panel and welded it in

Hang on in there bud! Its the nature of the beast doing a major rebuild I guess!

 

Its a bit annoying as I didnt scrimp on the panel work - found a proper restoration company & it probably cost around £1200 just for the metal work as I didnt just want it patched! New genuine nissan sills & rear repair panels & wheel arches so it would be as good as it could be!

You could say that LOL! Make sure you fill the sills with wax to protect it & ensure the targa drains are in good order! :)

The '99 spoiler grows on me more everytime i see it :)

ok i reckon if i dont clean me lug holes for the rest of the month i should have enough wax by then

 

cheers mate! :thumbup1:

Still a long way to go but gave her a quick wash & took some pics with a proper camera! still needs buffing, swage line stripe, roof trims etc & interior rebuilding!

 

 

 

 

Looking great mate.......i do love the 99 front bumper

Love that colour of blue very nice Paul, are you going to put spacers on the front wheels?

Sweet! Let me know when you have them ready - are they taken from one of these or are they a custom design? :)

No its none of them but very close :wink:

Dropped my car back for welding that wasnt quite right today.

 

Removed the passenger seat & started with the leather swap. Will post details on this thread: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=141762

Have been flat out the last 2 days, is now insured, taxed & tested!

 

Brakes have all been cleaned & gave the calipers a quick lick of paint until I can get a big brake upgrade.

 

Wheels now on - what do you think?! To big or just right?! :blink: The rears do sit slightly out from the arches! :blush:

 

 

 

that looks gorgeous :w00t:
