So I recently bought a slicktop that had been left to die and today saw the first few hours of bringing it back to life. I bought it for the missus so she can have her own Z but really it's a big cover up so I can have another Z lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

A good wash on the outside got rid of years of moss and dirt that had collected, we pulled all the interior out to give the carpet a shampoo and damn good hoover then started building it back up. Fitted a dashboard and various trims that were missing, changed the rear centre panel for a better one. Got some VGC standard rear lights going on in the next few days.

Tomorrow I need to sort the front suspension out as the guy I bought it from didn't fit them properly so the strut isn't even sat on anything! Then I can get some wings and a front bumper fitted. After that it's a few body repairs then a wrap, followed by new engine and gearbox time and eventually it'll see the road!

Have you burned those ebay tail lights yet? :)

Your quote still didn't answer my question. I asked if he'd burned them. They need to be taken out of circulation.

They're that bad?

No, there not.

glad to see another slicktop getting saved, looks like a similar age to mine, what was it?

the rear lights are coming off and being sold, I don't really have anything against them but the missus doesn't lol and it's for her mainly so off they come haha

 

Its a K plate series 2, got a '96 NA engine and loom going in and an auto box for now unless a manual box comes up cheap enough. It's a factory manual and still has the pedals and clutch master & slave in so a manual would save a lot of wiring hassle.
