If you guys see the old pictures area around the surge tank was open and tank's mount were not strong as well, so I got it all closed by a sheet and frame is welded with the body.

nice updates

b1adesofcha0s 12-20-2011 07:25 AM

Nice :tup:

I thought it was funny to see the guy grinding the chassis wearing just shalwar kameez. I'd expect to see that in Pakistan, but I guess they do it in Dubai too :icon17:

Alchemy 12-20-2011 07:28 AM

Engine painting

Parts removed
http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...z/f8d07456.jpg

All parts were cleaned, then primed with a special primer then heat resistant paint was applied and a final high temp clearcoat. It should last for a while I hope. The combo is of red, black and silver.

Hope enjoy it after you're done because i know a lot of people usually sell it off after they've completed a project

roplusbee 12-30-2011 01:03 PM

Did you sell the 370z or did you keep it? You are building a pretty stout stable if I do say so myself. One of these days, I will find a 240z worth resurrecting............
