Indey Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 So it's been somewhat eventful lately, and I've gotten a few things for my garage... Z stuff first though! Floormats are in and look good And I picked up a set of 240z taillights with fillers. I don't know why the picture is upside down, it's uploaded in the correct direction....oh well. My frame rails arrived the other day...but I have yet to go get them, I'll pick them up soon.. Garage stuff! So through various christmas gift cards and selling a few parts off of the del sol I was able to buy some junk for my garage. First thing was a craftsman floor cabinet. And a work lamp and power strip for the inside of the cabinet. Cabinet after I was done putting it together. Pushed into its home. and what's currently in it.... I'll find more stuff to fill up the space later. Then today I was back at sears and picked up a few other things.. Cordless impact, pry bars, and a infrared thermometer. Yep. Quote Link to comment

Indey Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I like your way of doing things, like its not your first go around ;) Thanks man, I just want the stuff I do to come out nicely haha. Just some routine maintenance type of stuff... I sometimes forget how wide my rear set up is.. Threw a few body parts on the car. The paint on my hood is completely coming up, guess my hood used to belong to a brown Z Quote Link to comment

Indey Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 That 240 air dam was a direct bolt on? Looking good btw! After the holes were made for it, yes. Being that it comes with no holes for bolts, no. Random pictures... Quote Link to comment

kuro Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 What ever happened with the 240 grill? Does it fit? Quote Link to comment
Indey Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 What ever happened with the 240 grill? Does it fit? The swap has been done before, I know it requires a bit of work to get it in, but it does fit. Mine however, is currently on a shelf in the garage. I've been on vacation in MN for the past month and a half, and won't be home until the end of July. However, once I get home, the car is going in for body work, and I'll see what it takes to get the grill in at that point in time. In the meantime though... here's a few more updated random things. I end up lacking on this threads updates... Started making my turn signal harness plug n play, just like OEM. 280Z connecter, on the 240Z bulb holder Wire loomed...I did put electrical tape at the ends, I just never took a picture of it...and I didn't like how the electrical tape turned out, so I'll be redoing it later. Cleaned 240Z turn signal housings with new gaskets Cleaned lenses..still need to be polished out to really make them shine, but at least most of the dirt is out. Mounted up. and on. Next day at my old job, in the sun. I love the 240 turn signals much more. They're significantly better than the 280's New winshield wiper nuts.... much better than the random replacements that had been put on...these will be painted black to match the wiper arms when the car gets painted Cleaned up the 240Z taillights. Started fitting the taillight panels. Made a rough mark of what needed to be cut out. A few cuts later.. and it fits in.. Other side.. Taillights are in.. Now, I ran into an issue, the license plate light piece, doesn't fit in the 240 holder. If I had a 240 one, I'm sure it would fit with no problem. However I don't know if that will just bolt up to the original holes in the 280 body. So being that I wasn't about the hack up a nice metal 240 tail light panel, I decided the much more commonly found 280Z one could be hacked up. I cleaned it up, then checked where I needed to cut, and got the saw out and went to town. Now, I know there is a hole there, however it is easy to just cover up with some glue of sorts to make a sort of "wall" or I'm sure you could fiberglass it closed, or something much more elaborate, I just wanted it to be simple, so I will end up making a wall of glue or something. However it fits the car now and works just fine. And to finish of this getting up to speed update.... I got a replacement towhook in from ZCCJDM, as the original one had been bent the incorrect way, however Brian was super helpful and awesome in getting me a replacement one, so if anyone has any potential qualms with ordering from him... I wouldn't. and I did my 5 speed swap! I don't really have pictures of the swap itself..just 2 from the day of.. Old junk out. So that about does it, for this massive update. As said I'll be back home around the end of July, and from there I'll be hitting the car hard and getting quite a bit accomplished. Quote Link to comment
