Josh K. Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Page 3??? Really??? Tomorrow AM, work will be getting done again! Had a lot of high school graduations the last couple weeks. Tomorrow I'll be working on connecting all the harness's with connectors. Still need to install a good ground block. Slowly but surely. My 40th Birthday is in October so that's just over 4 months. I wanna be able to atleast make it move under it's own power by then! 1 Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Car will be moving again in the next couple months. This time it will be right outside my door step. No more weekends here and there, it will be every day.... Started throwing panels back on for transport. Gotta clean up the shop and start organizing things for the move. 12 Quote Link to comment

moath Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Every time I see those flares on your car I keep thinking they're a great option. If you don't mind reposting, what are the specs on the wheels and tires again? What are you using for front struts and hubs? Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted July 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Strut Base & Hub used - Stock 280zx Rim size & Offset - 15x8 - 0 Offset Spacers - 1/8" front because of large bump steer spacer. Tire Size - Toyo R1R in 225/45-15 Quote Link to comment
freb_mc Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Wow, I just read through this, the work you have done to every part of this is amazing, but I can't get over those flares. They look so right on there, they look factory, but better. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see the finished product. 2 Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 You're moving houses again? Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Yes. I've been living in two separate houses since Jan. Downside is they're 115 miles apart. I'm going to relocate to the Tacoma area as my work is in Auburn. Then I'll have my car right outside my doorstep. I'll have unlimited time to work on it... 2 Quote Link to comment

Niz16 Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 mate, i have tried those repo headlight buckets, was not too happy with them at all, ended up tracking down some factory ones and had them coated, hope that helps some! Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 :ninja: I bought one of these today. Should make finishing my front brake and clutch line easier. I'm hopeful. I'm happy to report this thing kicks ass. Makes perfect flares so f'ing easy. Wish I bought it a long time ago! 4 Quote Link to comment
