8/14/11 Battle at the border Drift event

Took my car to a drift event, this is it in the parking lot before i got into the track






People were adding stuff as they walked by







Eventually the drifters got me onto the track free of charge $$$$$












Pic dump of the chalk progression
























The camera girl was a real artist, she drew this

Chalkboard painting the Z

I started by taking a sanding sponge to the entire car, getting all the grime and dirt off it. BIG difference on the hood...




I wasn't sure if it was going to rain later on so i taped it off crazy octopus style.


Top coat done












Weather improved so i decided to do the rest, goodbye playboy bunny we hardly knew ye









Took a pic with the tape off just cause'












 Finished first coat, this stuff was put on with a roller so im gonna have to wet sand the fuck out of it.










And here it is all put back together, it looks nice in pictures but is full of orange peel up close

head+camshaft

 Picked up an N47 head from a 77 280z

Unfortunately it has an oil bar, so everything in this post is pointless, but at least the parts are CLEAN!





Cleaning the shit off with aerosol seafoam







Took the gunk right off the camshaft












And ate all of the old oil and gunk off the parts


I'm just pissed this cam wasn't internally oiled.. looks like i cant get my cam reground until i find an internally oiled one.
