I posted at the start of this month i had bought a SWB N/a with a naff engine and was planning on doing a TT swap among other things and general tinkery stuffs.... ( BTW i bought this with a Big end Bearing gone.....)

 

Well i started to strip her down and upon removing the R/h Wing i found this abomination!

 

 

Then obviously having to remove the engine and planning on stripping the underside i start removing the engine beginning with the Fluids and find a certain something peeping out the sump! (the dipstick i knew about when buying the car and the look on the owners face when i asked him where the rest of it was was priceless)

 

 

 

 

This next one isnt detrimental but i thought, at least I've gained something so far from buying this.....

 

 

 

Now for my favorite surprise ive had yet...

 

L/H Sill

 

 

R/H Sill

 

You could,ve practised your photoshop skills Adam and made me look slim !! lol :w00t:

 

Haha what are you on about?

 

So far ive only got 3 pieces of interior in as im trying to put up more shelves to move the crap in the garage higher and then loft board the roof out so i have a safe place to store the front bumper whilst i carry out my modifactions again...

 

Mods consisting of:

LOTS of sound deadening

Removing Electric PS and trying to fit the stock 300zx N/a ps pump.

oil filter relocation kit to aid the above mod

Make my japspeed rad into a double pass rad

>>>> fit mondos interior

prep ready for supercharger..

All ive got for now im afraid.

 

 

Perforated leather, both targas and my headlining.. Makes it look super neat and modern

 

And for the eagle eyed among us, yes the plastic has cracked around the normal area...

 

Just going over the parts to go back into the car and so many are damaged. Shopping list to make i think

Your headlining was sooo much fun to trim.... :wacko:

All three grilles were made out of one sheet of universal plastic mesh bud . hth

 

Thanks for the info Allan:thumbup1:, I have to say that the grilles look identical to the factory one:thumbup:

I'll have a little search on Google :whistling:

That looks great, really clean and sharp

 

I trimmed my targas and headlining in grey alcantara and it really lifted the interior

 

All ive got for now im araid.

It wasnt all that bad to fit to be honest if that makes it better? ;)

Ooooh !! that gives me an idea!!!:laugh:

Well loads has been going on over the winter...

 

-new sandwich plate for oil filter as the other had a bad seal

-alternator now on a switched live as the previous temp measure was a perm live

-front arches cleaned of muck and rubber painted with Graviguard

-seal 2 minor weeps of oil on the sump

-resealed 2 sensors as i suspected 1 of them had a coolant leak.

-Removed the electric powered steering i so painstackingly fitted with a variable pressure regulator and gauge and now replaced with the stock zec N/a PS pump in a nifty little slide on the engine. so much clutter removed!

-got myself some Phutumsch halo sidelight upgrades

 

probably some other stuff but i reall cant remember.

 

...yes its dirty

 

These lights are absolutely epic. They are so crisp its a shame my camera on my phone couldnt get a better shot of them to be honest.

 

Phutumsch out did himself and i mst say the BEST service ive had yet for any zed related relationship..

 

 

 

 

 

Last things to do before MOT...

 

- Fit a new alarm as the current one is crap!

- Fit the last of my Mondo interior which i will then showcase

- finish my washer jet on m wiper arm combo

clean it...

You have the same problems as i have when trying to show these in their best light.

 

Glad you like them Adam - thanks for uploading and your kind comments.

 

Looking forward to seeing that washer jet combo :cool3:.

But seriously your service is second to none, your up there with lee dent, im suprised he hasnt gone out of Buisness for giving away his stock

Edited March 25, 20169 yr by Hollings

Well this sat i got it MOT'd with reat help from lee dent as my original place for a MOT fluffed it up and he bailed me out so i need to get him some drinks.

 

After that i went to get her aligned and enjoyed around a 100 mile drive over that day playing with m car group of evo's subaru and a 350z.

 

She isnt finished yet though..

And for anyone who isnt aware....it has a 4.5L v8 the VH45DE engine

 

Edited April 20, 20169 yr by Hollings

Still need to find bits of interior and dash bits to get it tip top.

SCHWEEEETTT !!! Love this car, well done mate:clap::clap: Mondo interior looks fab next to the Evo 9 seats??:thumbup1: they all tie in really well:thumbup:

The VH seems to be he obvious swap ATM. Was it massively difficult and needed alot of fabrication or was it changing the engine mounts and it pretty much fitted?

Depends on your skill set, a lot of things requires modifying but i wouldnt have said it was overly difficult
