Interior and some clean up on engine was done recently
Whole interior relayed gone with fabric roof compared to plastic as in OEM and used some sound dampener then full custom carpet http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps47ccb5c1.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps40f5baff.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...pse9b1bdfd.jpg Custom B pillar covers http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psa51f2eaa.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psb8109b93.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psc3c67bbb.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps68072e11.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...pse8c8ea76.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps817f5c73.jpg Removed the stock fuel lines, changed the coil to MSD, installed Moshimoto radiator overflow tank, changed stock radiator cap with HKS one, new plug leads, polished the strut bar and refinishing of some engine painted as was damaged over a year while engine was lying around. http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps52043fa0.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps5b92478b.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psbdc1b32c.jpg Changed all the bolts to newer ones in engine bay and front end, had to cut and weld the front coils for height adjustment still I think needs more cutting as cant go lower in setting any further, will look into that after installing all pending body pieces but this is how it sits now. http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps029b4ccd.jpg As of now we are finishing the battery relocation to trunk and final wiring job, car should be ready for registration test sometime next week, getting impatient and cant wait :) |
Looks great. Without the front grill on, the front end reminds me of a 1970 Aston DBS

Such an amazing machine and quality work.

Congrats....outstanding job!

Wow great thread!
Good choice with all the mods |
Started the car two cylinders were not working not sure what happened but maybe we kept the engine for a year after it was refreshed and some water from the lines swiped in. There were rust patches when opened the engine.
http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps6dcececb.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psf229c318.jpg Instead of rebuilding it all just did the head work at machine shop and got hold of another L28 (2.8L) as this is L20 (2.0), will be rebuilding that parallel and install in summer time. L28 came with N47 head and tried to search for L28 Diesel for Diesel crank found a shop with loads of diesels so will be making a 3.1/3.2L stroker with diesel crank, L24 rods and bigger KA24E Pistons Engines found in scrapyard had loads of them http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps8df6a181.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps05169223.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psff87fa4c.jpg On the other side ordered Fujitsobo Exhaust http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...pscf33352e.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps92c09006.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps80bb8600.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps8a9798dd.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps264c6fe4.jpg Got the wheels as well Starroad Glow Star 15 x9/10 -19/-28 http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps4522c0b2.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps4190d474.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...pse326b9de.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps613fe5e9.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psf4b50c4b.jpg While testing those test fitted Work CR01 as well ordered them last year for the 240Z they looked much better but more aggressive in the front 15x9/10 -28 all http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psf4d7034c.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps33648c19.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psf4b50c4b.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psbd8d8a12.jpg So for now deciding on Starroad Glowstar when will fit tires in work will install and check on the hako for tires went for Hankook Ventus 195/50/15 and 225/45/15 http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps72b565e1.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psc37e8f21.jpg |
Impressive build, looks great!

Really enjoyed reading through your build thread. I live seeing these restoration builds. Sorry about that hassle with the two cylinders but it sounds like you resolved it quickly.
