260Z froggy style

[SeanDezart]

Finally, after nearly two years and some superb work from Martin......a 2+2 to scare off you two seaters.

DJR head and cam, 2" SUs, DJS30 exhaust manifold and system, DJS30, 4kg flywheel, numerous bits via Mike Feeney and elsewhere, some nice second-hand bits from some of you guys here....Martins' electric power-steering system, 4 wheel disc-brakes, vented Wilwoods at the front and an L28 of course !

New complete interior - seats, carpets, door-cards, tunnel and roof lining ..... and steering wheel in leather.

I can now turn the page on the 260Z I killed in January 2001.

ps - thanks Jak for the inspirational drawings - looking forward to those magnets mate !

Looks good Sean.

 

[rahail240]

very very nice.
i think the wing mirrors are the crowning glory.

Why have you lost the join between the wing n lamp pods?
All in one panel? Or you wanted the look like that?

That is Sean's trade mark filling the seam & doing away with the repeater, you may of noticed his 240 is the same.

That is a very nice Z mate

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Nice Job .

Big Sam has lost the join too and the inspection flaps.

 

[JakTheRuby]

That looks fantastic! Even better than I imagined it. Superb job.

Anyone got any negative feedback about it or an aspect (s) ? It would be constructive to hear/read.

Looks a bit high at the rear from the photo?....

Prefer the stance of this one......

Otherwise it looks very nice!

 

[SeanDezart]

Point taken - I wonder if it has the same ride-height ? I have gone for some comfort and for carrying two adolescent kids (weight) and is the front the same height ?

the wheels on the other one look better but that would be my choice not yours,car looks good

It looks really nice Sean, the only negative for me is as its got black bumpers & mirrors so the rest of the bright work should be black ? & the wheels, a set of minilite style image split rims with black centres would look fantastic.

 

[SeanDezart]

Not sure about the brightwork having to be black - that makes it a bit too '80s look - the bumpers are fibre-glass - maybe my sole redeeming factor is that the large s/s trim around the rear 1/4 light has been brushed rather than being left to bling...........

I think the stance of Seans looks better, I like the black wheels but prefer it with the black arches now to finish it off.

 

[samuri-240]

Wheels ? Oh forgot the steering wheel is on the wrong side also :lol: for this shite country anyway maybe should have left mine lhd & sold it to a rich european

Yeah & Anelka being sent home!

Anyway any thoughts about arches on the 2+2?

 

[SeanDezart]

What do you want me to say ? This was my original idea.......
