Day 1





This is the last picture of the Z with all of the exterior pieces attached.

This car was a pain to get home, the rear drums were seized from sitting!










Decided to pressure wash all the shit out of it, tar all over the places is peeling up near the rusted floor boards.


 Difficult to get started, the damn handle valve was messed up had to unclog it after it was sitting all winter.

In this picture you can see me cleaning up the extra transmission & diff that was given to me with the car, The transmission is a FS5W71C, the "2nd best" of transmissions available. It bolts up to all of the L series engines, mine in particular came off a 280zx NA,

I will probably sell this transmissions as it is sought after by Z enthusiasts, also because the bell housing doesn't match the L6.. and it has the added benefit of having all the same internals as the 240SX.
                                                                                                                                                                                                             

The Diff is an R200 CLSD i haven't cracked it open yet, but i'm assuming its a 3.9 or a 3.7 I will probably keep this one because its and LSD

















All cleaned out, trying to dry the car out. 
















Propped the car up on stands to help the standing water  drain out of the floor board rust holes. (lol)





Driver side





Passenger side











 









All clean, my girlfriend in the background doing the myspace pose for the camera. 



If everything goes as planned a 383 Stroker is going to be put inside here.


Attempted to sew these two pictures together, and failed epic. Anyways these "Euro" tails are for sale, personally i don't like the orange amber on the bottom, They are in perfect condition.
                         


That's about it for today
