'74 260z drift build (Z is for zig zag)

[Syncro]

I'd just cut that section of the dash off then, would look interesting. you know, pretty much right after it curve's after the 3 small gauges.

[I'm BLUE]

Dig the spoiler !!! :cool:

 

More pics peeze when you get really effing bored :lol: !

[Woody620]

Still gotta hide my junction boxes and blower motor though. that would be pretty interesting though, Id love to see it done.

 

Will have a lot these next few days! Im bringing the car home hopefully tomorrow so Im gonna be dropping in the motor, dialing in my springs and height, more paint, blah blah blah! :w00t:

Grand theft is bad mmmmmkaaaayyy

eh I'm like robin hood, I took it from the middle class and gave it to the needy, and I really needed that car, and then my highschool needed the car, and then I needed money to fix my new 300zx, damn it never ends.

[Woody620]

Went and picked up my car today.

 

 

Was almost too low. :geek:

 

 

Modified my front spring perches.

 

 

Now the floorboard height with no engine.

 

 

And I took out my old exhaust that sounded like a rainstick because all this poured out of it... even looked like some pieces of ring were in it. :sick:

 

 

I also put in my 740 door seals but I forgot to take pictures, I will tomorrow.

[Woody620]

Put the engine in... then i realized I forgot something... damnit...

 

 

Now its in!

 

[I'm BLUE]

Yesh !

[Syncro]

ew... flat tops.

[Woody620]

ew... flat tops.

 

yea yea yea, whatever.

 

On a side note my friend crashed my old car last night.

 

 

:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :bye:

[Woody620]

Still in a funk from last night. Haven't really gotten much done today, except the electric fuel pump isnt working so im relying on just the mechanical one and im unsure if thats even working. also its not getting spark, its getting 12v up to the coil but for some reason I cant for the life of me remember how to work on a car today and so im a bit lost on what i need to do further. I have a hunch it has something to do with the distributor since it sat for years without a cap on it, but im not sure. and now I feel like im nonsensically rambling. :geek: :poke:

[Woody620]

So heres a couple pictures of some stuff I got done in the last couple days.

But before that overall shots of my vehicles! (mainly my Z)

Also notice I painted the rockers and under the tail panels.

 

 

Drilled out the spare tire well.

 

 

Gas lid. :lol:

 

 

Custom heater box in.

 

 

Volvo 740 door seals.

 

 

Painted most of the rest of the interior.

 

 

Painted the hatch sill and put in my rx7 seal

 

 

Took off my badges and window chrome.

 

 

Random shot of the hole in my firewall from the front of the car.

 

 

Now its getting shipped off to a friends house which is where it will be parked until its done.

I love this car... :wub:

[I'm BLUE]

nice gas lid lol

those volvo seals look like they belong ! :cool:

jealous of your floor-pans :hyper:

 

is the rx-7 hatch seal a taller seal ? ( like squish/compress a bit when hatch closes ? )

[Woody620]

They do belong, and volvos are very plentiful too! the rx7 seal is a bit weird, its meant for a taller metal lip than the z has so im hoping it keeps the water out. it meets up pretty well on the top and sides (which is where it really counts) but the bottom doesnt really touch the seal. not my most preferred seal but I was just copying the crazy octopus build thread on hybrid z.

 

Dont be too jealous, still has a couple holes and it looks like someone went rock crawling with this thing before i owned it. :rofl:

[I'm BLUE]

Cool !

Might have to get me some volvo seals :D !

 

oh ! sounds like the rx7 seal works well enough.

I haven't really looked at crazy octopus's thread haha. I'll gander later ;)

 

rock-crawling you say ? :lol: !

[Woody620]

recommend it!

 

well, we'll see how much rain water got in next time I'm over there.

 

Its a cool thread minus the new motor he chose. not my preference, but its ok, its not my car, lol.

 

yea im lucky it sat like a truck before too because its already pretty bad..

[Woody620]

So unfortunately there is little puddles of water all over in my car, I dont know where its coming from. I know its been raining a ton lately, but I still want my car to be sealed. Maybe its just condensation? :confused:

 

Also watched this video and got super inspired. I want 4 cylinder in my car now. :geek:

Ive got an idea of what I want although its not an sr20det...

 

 

Oh dreams of long term plans... :rolleyes:

[Woody620]

uh oh, impulse buy...

 

 

Should probably get it running and driving before I order too much more unnecessary stuff.

[Woody620]

Remember my to do list? Im gonna revise that real quick. (yes my thanksgiving is boring, lol)

 

-fuel pump + get spark = running!

-fix clutch hydraulics

[Woody620]

Wheels came in. not a whole lot of work done to this thing lately. too rainy.

 

Contemplating painting the centers either black or purple. they already have a purple stripe on the lip.

[mattyhacks71]

Oics of the wheelss!

[Woody620]

not on yet, but here they are!

 

[Woody620]

Cleaned up my blower motor and vent boxes, they were pretty rusty (I finished the blower box before I took pictures, It was about 3 times worse than the vent box).

 

 

 

Also picked up some poly bushings, custom knuckles for honda coilovers, Z31 front calipers, adjustable FLCA's with new balljoints, stock swaybar, stock tension rods, stock RLCA's, and a 3.7(?) diff.

Score!
