Laecaon Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Ok i forgot a few pictures. But that is ok. I lowered the back of my car :) Took out the Overload spring, and flipped it. Bolted the Leafs back together. (Had to use a c-clamp to get the leafs to come together) And it is lower!!! Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I dare say the back is now lower than the front. So I should be dropping the front soon. When I have some free time... Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Other pics. Seat is in and looking nice, wish it was black though. Then I decided that the front defroster plate thingy needed a refresh: Quote Link to comment

troyt Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 The 280ZX wheels look great on wagons, they kind of have a spoked 'wagon-wheel' look to them. And you can customize the painted section to any color as desired. Nice job on the build so far. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Looks good.white is a awsome color!!!!!!!!!!!! but get some better wheels. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Looks good.white is a awsome color!!!!!!!!!!!! but get some better wheels. I completely agree! But not for now. I was trying to get the RB's but at the time, everywhere was sold out of the color I wanted. So these are a for now wheel. I will get it done, it may just take some time. Quote Link to comment

Im thinking of trying to polish up the lip a bit more. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 On my quest for new interior, I installed the metal piece that holds the top of the door panels. Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 On my quest for new interior, I installed the metal piece that holds the top of the door panels. If you use a thicker material for the door panels you need to bend that metal strip open more... I used a flat head screwdriver and totally fucked mine up the first time most new vynil material is thicker than the datto vynil . . just bend a little at a time with something wide like a chisel and leave the metal strip secured onto the door Quote Link to comment

cyrusthevirus Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 dig the wagoon , if i provide the driveway would you help me squirt mine? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 dig the wagoon , if i provide the driveway would you help me squirt mine? Sounds like fun. But I dont have the tools/supplies anymore. And I am in no way a pro. My wagon was parked next to yours at canby. I call it a 10ft paint job. I would be to scared to paint yours.

Laecaon Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 So some action is gonna be happening here. Yesterday I cleaned up the garage enough to get the car in with some room. Today I have pulled the windshield and cargo windows. Prepping for installing my headliner and new windshield. Only reason I am actually doing this now is because I hurt my car :(. I broke an ATF line. I figured that the cost to get the car going again was just shy of me getting my dogleg in. Well then I saw Izzo had a couple of motors up for grab. Gonna go Saturday to fetch me an L18. So I am pulling the motor and trans soon. Might as well paint the engine bay too while its clear :). Not all bad I hurt my car. Some pics of the car as it sits. It does still turn on. The only spot with rust I found was the top of the windshield. Pretty decent considering It was very leaky. Quote Link to comment
jun Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Nice work! Looking forward to what comes next. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 And then?... lol. um mid way through a bunch of projects on it. But maybe thats because each new project is more important than the last. Give me a sec to get some pics up. Also, what is easier: pulling the motor and tranny from the top, or dropping it them out the bottom? Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Top. Lots of guys swear pulling them together is easier. I've always dropped the trans out the bottom, then the engine out the top. Don't even have to pull the hood. Be careful with those heater pipes though. Quote Link to comment
