Not to every ones taste but it makes me smile, after the horrendous engine build with everything that could go wrong that actually did go wrong she's running 330 bhp at the rear wheels at the moment with the potential of running 450+:clap: at the wheels in time when i have sorted out a flaming missfire that i cant seem to find. She still drives well though and sounds unreal (more to my taste again)

 

Theres still a lot to do to the car bodywork wise but the shell is solid and has not rust or rot anywhere for a change, the targa's are great and do not let water in at all which everyone knows makes a change. So at a round up a very good solid base to start working on for a little project. For the ones who know me will already know that i think out of the usual lines of zed owners so i am expecting a lot of "looks shit or what a waste" etc but hey..... Its my car i spend my money on it so its my choice what i do to it.

 

Hopefully in time i will get the time to get done to it what i want too and get it running the power that i have got it built to do.

From seeing what others have done, I would think you can handle more than 450 if you please

O bloody typical ha, never could get used to uploading any pictures on here . Hmmm interesting that I will have to do some further investigation then

Looks shit.

 

What a waste!

 

:lol: :thumbup1:

That's a bad and mean looking 300zx mate :thumbup:

needs a BGW

lol Neil only you could come out with that :chinese:

That is mean looking.

ha thanks Stephen, didnt look like that a few weeks ago though it looked like a patch work quilt haha, the matt black was just a quick fix to an expensive problem painting wise. But funnily enough has sort of been pulled off i think

Are you keeping the Matt paint? I would fancy some satin on a car like that

I'm not too sure really, i'd like to get it painted in pearl plus and a pearl purple that i have already bought "BUT" as we all know spraying isnt cheap and at the moment with trying to find a missfire i have more pressing issues to worry about than paint. Satin would go with it but like i say the matt black was a quick cheap fix purely so i could take it to cadwell park round the track and it not be an embarrassment really. I mean the paint was only £7.50 for the tin and £1.50 for the roller so either way i don't mind keeping it matt black or changing colour in time. Although i have ordered some camo decals in satin black, anthracite and bronze, that i will be putting on it for a temp measure to brighten it up a bit while i get some other bits done and then can decide on what route i go down paint wise

pearl blue and pearl purple that was not pearl plus :oops:

Nice

Personally. I know it's subjective but I think any other colour than Matt or satin black would ruin that car. Maybe grey, maybe. But honestly painting it some show stopper colour will detract away from the mean look and actually make it look like some park hard thing.

I see what you are saying and i am actually swayed to agree with you there, either way i like the matt black it is at the moment and the beauty with that its a black car anyway so there was no need to even change the log book colour. Maybe when i have made my other bits for it i may look into wrapping it and then get a better finish on it. But in the mean time the camo decals are going on if the guy makes them correct this time round.. Would like to stay away from the "car park" thing as much as possible. Would much rather be seeing the track or a nice rounderbout ;-) lol
