Rusty Bird take 2

 

Well after taking most this bird apart will be putting it back together. And we will be keeping it. Yes SOLD and BOUGHT back :)

 

Now we are putting the goon on hold and installing a twin cam in to the bird, along with some Wilwood breaks and SSR's. Not changing the exterior to much. Now that most the rust is gone.

 

Stay tune for pics

I was going to install wilwoods, but I think I will keep the stock 280zx stuff for now, not sure if the wilwoods will clear the 14 SSRs.

 

Installing some parts I have had hiding since 1999

 

MOOG baby

Used the coilovers Rusty already had but install T3 camber plates and 280zx struts, with KYB inserts. Had been running 200sx struts

Rusty is home and we are starting to think about a color, finishing other projects first. Or we might just sell this bitch.

 

I get bored easily

 

Here it is after Geno's KA install and wilwood rear disc break install. Wheels don't fit. 300zx wheels to the rescue (fugly)

new wilwoods, thanks to Datsloco, but is becoming a problem with wheel chooses.

So I would like to run these SSRs but they do not fit over the wilwoods

I'm glad to see those SSR Star Formulas sticking around, even in the same wheel center color.  :)  Hope they stay part of your collection, even if they don't fit fancy brake kits!

 

 

Holy crap Jun is back. Since i didnt go to JCCS to talk to you in person, the Z looks fantastic; you did an excellent job.
