Guys ive had nightmares with my 300zx, with the engine bay.

Panels I had fabricated are shite.

 

Have a big pile of bits in my bedroom worth 3-4k which ive been buying.

 

Brand New wheels,

88mm weisco pistons,

gt2560r turbos,

5bolt manifolds,

brand new 99spec front bumper I bought from japan,

type s side skirts,

 

getting paid hopefully later today and finish payment for uprated injectors and eagle rods.

 

And no car to fit them on:crying:

 

Now thinking to just buy another zed, in around 2wks got around 6k coming could I pick 99spec up for that even an na would do cause would be putting my engine in it.

 

My shell is immaculate underneath and I doubt id find another like it and got so fussy with this car that I would end up doing the same thing to the next car.

 

Or has anyone else got a zed shell that the seams either side of engine bay seam sealer hasn't failed, sills are not rusty and no wrong jacking done bending them up.

And no rust.

 

This will be second time I've reshelled car in last couple years..

It's nice to know that she will live on and not find herself on the scrap heap, I will continue to take the parts off that I want, give me a call when your ready to collect.

 

cheers Paul

 

I'll look after this shell no grinders lol.

 

I'll call u Friday, spk soon mate..

I always like the look of Pauls silver zed, so although it will change colour, youve got a good base to work with at least.

Your right Graham she always was a good looking car and i'm glad that Terry has got her, would of been a shame for the shell to go for scrap,

Is a nice shell and looks like nissan changed seam sealer in engine bay on some of the zeds.

Both my older zeds had very thin bead which lifted letting water in.

Both pauls cars, seam sealer is on a lot thicker so no rusty bits to worry about.

 

Once picked up I'll get some pics up of it stripped and then some of it painted..

Just itching to pick it up now, zeds been off the road about 8months,

 

Should be a nice car now,

 

Full respray again,

New rebuilt engine,

Big turbos,

 

New wheels,

 

Just got to get interior retrimmed too, black and white leather.

 

Hopefully it will be very clean, and pretty fast, but compared to astra diesal work van, and a 1.2 punto even if it only runs on 4 it should feel quick lol..

Excellent!! Nice one Terry - and thanks to Paul for coming to the rescue!!

To be honest it's a result for both of us I get the parts I want from the car and terry gets the shell, I could never have sent this shell to the breakers, from what I've seen so far it is truly rust free ( won't know the full story until the engine is stripped out ) but it's looking promising. Looking forward to the end result from Terry.
