For a spare 300zx its looking very good mate :thumbup: Any more details?

Is that the one that was on sale here a few months ago?? There were pics of it in his garage?? i'd change out the front bumper for a 99 spec and swap out the rear lights for 99's also and that's the job done:thumbup:

Touselcoqs Z, I like it, if the above bits were done. You got a bargain there Lee:thumbup1:. there's a lot of fiddly bits to be done but nothing major is there?

All the interior is out more of less as he was doing some custom stuff with all the switches and things. I'll probably put that lot back to standard and go from there really. needs the brakes fixing too but otherwise, looks pretty good. I plan to get it back on the road though.

 

I agree about the front bumper and the rear lights. I'm not so sure the 99 spec is the way to go in it though tbh. That being said, I'm not sure what is either.

 

The previous owner spend a lot of cash on the car so it's just a shame he lost his motivation and that with working away so much. He had quite a few offers to ultimately break the car which he didn't really want to happen.

 

It's actually a very low mileage zed too but I need to work out what the actual mileage should be as it was in Kim's at around 50k, then the clocks were changed and then ran in MPH but the numbers on the clock were a bit lower. So, I'm not sure what to do here.

Looks good Lee for a spare lol, i agree far to good to break :thumbup:

You got a real nice Z there mate and nice to see it saved by a member.

Now I don't like Greddy GRacer bumpers on stock Z32s, but they look good on wide arch cars. ChrisC had one on his and it did look good. Rear lights are not nice, but the rest is pretty and nice for a spare Z. I like the colour!

 

I am looking at buying a spare Z to keep in Texas.

It has a lot of positives to be fair. Things like cobra seats, proper full retrim by a dude in sunderland called kish (he's massively expensive too. It's the same person that did Steve-300zx's cream interior a few years back. The body work was done by PPS who as far as I'm aware was the first guy to turn out stunning wide arch zeds back in the day and a former forum trader. The wheels were more expensive than the whole car. It'll be great but there's a lot of work to do as well to be fair. So it'll be a driveway ornament for a while yet. Plus I still love the black zed.

I'm sad I pretty much gave a wing west bumper away a little while back

That's fine as the Wings West bumper is horrible. It flairs out at the bottom like a petticoat. You did good to give it away, personally I would have doused it in fuel and set it on fire, but giving it away was the next best thing! :)

 

The wheels look like Khan RSCs. They're a decent 2-peice wheel.

Best of luck with her mate, I also like that Daytona Blue, I have no doubt that it's going to be a cracking car when you're finished with it:thumbup1:

Yeah, Its a cool spare :)

They're Khan something or other lol

Started with her today but the rain came so not had very long. So, the drivers seat is back in lol.

Kahn RSC2.

They won't have been cheap when new!

About £2500 mate from memory of looking at the paperwork.

That's not a gracer si, I guess you know that. It's the one zcentre sell as a venom/cobra something along those lines, I think he calls it. It's exceeding similar to the early TwinZ one.

Yes I know this - I am suggesting he get a Greddy Gracer.

I thought that was the case, just didn't quite add up you advocating a gracer lol.

I don't like them generally as they don't suit the lines of the stock Z one little bit, however, on a Strosek kitted Z, they work really quite well.

Having read the "for sale" post, I think you are going to have lots of fun with your new project - well done!

Nope. Even the top of the dash was done mate

Thanks Andrew. Regardless, I think it's a nice zed. My main priorities are to get the brakes working, interior in and electrics done. Then mot. And on the face of things apart from a couple of bit of trim, that's all the it needs I believe.

 

I think, if I had a garage / dry place to work on it, wouldn't take too long really. Just depends on whether I want to continue on the custom route the previous owner was going or go back to the normal stuff.

Very nice project good luck.

Thanks mate. Hopefully I can get it right fast enough

Well, I've done a couple of little it's on the spare zed, not a lot like but I did the brake master cylinder and servo a couple of weeks back... What a pain in the arse job that was, I'm far too big for a zed foot well.

 

A couple of days ago, I bought some new UK clocks, so today, I decided to go in my zed shed thinking I must have some chome rings or something along with all the other random stuff I have, and yup I found some. Shame I didn't have any UK clocks in there, just jap ones. So here's some picture:

 

These are the old clocks

 

 

 

Dash is obviously still in bits

 

 

New brake servo and master cylinder:

Old one ain't looking too hot

 

The new ones looking good:
