My 1989 300ZX bought in June 2011
It's Black and Yellow and the bugs most attracted to it are Wasps .... so calling it the Wasp. It's quite fitting really since everything you try to do to a Zed, it stings you.
So, I have had this car a few months now so have already gone through a few problems that are not on this site. Time to rectify that I think.
To get it, we drove up from Doncaster to Glasgow in two zeds, and come back with three and a manual gear box for it chopped out of a wrecker. It was a fun day, and since then it's had it's problems, work done and a few projects started.
Jobs done
Manual Conversion
New Mongoose exhaust system
Chrome tax disc holder
New Kenwood stereo
Galaxy Tab installed
Sound Deadening
Amp wiring
Underlighting
New hub centric spacers/bolts etc
Fan shroud removed
New fan clutch
Hard pipe kit Jubilee clips
Cam belt etc
Customised and sprayed centre console
... and probably a few things I've forgot.
To complete
Vented bonnet - All sanded down ready to modify
Side-skirts - Also sat in the shed sanded down
More modifications and painting around the dash, vents etc
Mines ECU - Got one in negotiation
Fibreglass front speaker area
Foot well and other interior lighting
Crystal bumper indicators
Clearer tail lights
Rear strut brace
Re trim the dash board and cure the lifting dash problem
Complete polished plenum
Respray the whole car in a decent brighter yellow and a metallic black on the top
Fully intend to spend plenty on some nice liquid art
Viscose fan replacement - got it sanded down, ready to paint
A very demanding boot install... will explain later - work has started.
I'll follow up with some pics and details of the work so far.
