It begins...

Everything above the waistline... lovely. Everything below the waistline... oh dear

Wow a blast from the past.. Welcome back. Good to see that you still have the s30

 

[Tony 260Z]

Thanks I've had a lot of upheaval over the last few years but the Z will return better and stronger than ever before!

That will keep you busy .

I'm very glad I'm not doing it! It'd take me far too long and I couldn't do it justice. There's going to be a big wad of photos and paperwork heading your way for the insurance at some time!

Ah, saw other post first, I see yes, the work begins, in about the same position in the workshop when I saw it in November chatting about my future work, good luck, I am sure its in good hands.

Most welding now done and it looks superb. Body is better and stronger than when she came out of the factory Suspension going off to powder-coaters or being replaced. Wheels on order. CF goodies waiting. Engine parts sourced awaiting collection.

Lots to do but getting excited!

So am I ! Looking forward to following it down to a field in france soon!

 

[Tony 260Z]

These things are never straightforward....

Ordered wheels (MSA) out of stock. Cancelled order. Bought some on ebay. Ebay wheels didn't fit. Now going down the Rota route I think.

CF arches awful fit. They're going back into my shed for the next "project".

Engine parts ditto. Triples sourced 2nd hand but sale price too high. Sticking to 2" SU's for now.

All welding done. Paint done. All new brake and fuel lines done. New alarm done. New radio done.

MOT.... done!

Final fettling underway

 

[Alphabettispaghetti]

why didn't the wheels fit?

 

[smaurikid]

Does this mean no arches? Is it out and about? Sounds like its nearly there........

That's come along pretty quick Tony. Sounds like you'll be back at the halfway house soon.
