Indey Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hello all, I have owned quite a few cars mostly being Honda's. I currently own 3 cars, a 1993 Honda del Sol, a 1972 MG Midget, and my current obsession, a 1976 Datsun 280Z. Just because I can't ignore the other 2 here are a few quick pictures of them. The del Sol. I've had that car since 08' now, and when I got it it was pretty trashed. The Midget. This is a project for later...for now it sits under a car cover. And finally my 280Z, which is what I'm sure is what people here are a tiny bit more interested in. It had been repainted black by someone. The paint wasn't in very good shape, despite appearing alright in pictures. Since I've gotten the car it has faded quite a lot. It had some odd OBX-R muffler welded onto the stock pipe. and came with a set of the zxtt wheels. The taillight surrounds had been poorly painted black which was chipping. It was missing plenty in the interior, the turn signals had been sprayed black with something, all in all realistically it needed a lot of work. So that all being said here is the starting point for this car. I will update this thread with progress that is made to the car and in time hopefully it will become what my ideal image of a s30Z should be. Thanks and stick around! Quote Link to comment

Since I've failed at using multi quote, thanks to everyone for the welcome! As per this s30, I'm not your average honda owner who "cracks mad vtec" all over the place and so forth. I have no interest in being hellaflush or stanced, my only goal with the z is to make it proper! :) Quote Link to comment

Indey Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Plans for the car are really a ground up restoration in the long run, currently though it's a daily driver. So while it's a daily just stuff to fix what's broken. I've been toying with the idea of letting the del sol go to pick up a daily so the Z can be a more feasible project, since having 2 project cars is a bit much.. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 You havent met some of the people on here then... some people have project cars in the double digits Quote Link to comment
Indey Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 You havent met some of the people on here then... some people have project cars in the double digits Yeah I get that, but when I get a project car I typically devote all that I'm doing to it...so the del sol has just been sitting in the garage for a long time, I take it out and drive it maybe 2 times a month tops.. Since people are actually posting on here I figure i'll post this next segment :D As for the start of this car I had to replace a lot of random misc parts that I don't have any pictures of BUT it was -Spark Plugs -Distributor Cap -Distributor Rotor -Thermostat -1 Injector -Brake Master Cylinder -Front Brake Pads -MAF Sensor -Valve Cover Gasket -Valve Lash Adjustment -Rear Fuel Line -Oil/Diff/Trans Fluid -Shifter Bushings Unfortunately as said there are no pictures of any of that. So instead here are a few more pics, I had removed most of the black paint around the chrome on the taillights, however the chrome was chipped off underneath as well in a few parts. And the valve cover got painted, again unfortunately, now it is bubbling and cracking but it's fine I plan to have it powdercoated later on. Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Just remove the springs... I hear that what Honda guys do end being a troll Quote Link to comment

I hear that what Honda guys do end being a troll No no no you're ALL wrong, they HEAT the springs until is where they want it. Or they go and get "coilover sleeves" from ebay for 20 dollars :P I on the other hand only use coilovers because I like stuff that was meant to work together :) Quote Link to comment
