Brandon finished the 1987 Pathfinder. All original paint wet sanded and buffed. All new rubber and bumpers and grill painted. It came out better than new!

Cool Pathfinder…..you NEVER see those anymore,  I’ve spent a lot of time in junkyards there past few years and I haven’t seen one in there either.   Nice little gem you have there.

Nice car!  These pics look like you took them out of the original brochure!  If i had this car i would look under those plastic wheelhouse extrenders, i did this with my 300zxtt wheelhouse protectors and you can prevent any rust.. important because when it's emergine than it's to late!  (I never saw some rust under mine luckely!) 

I also spray some WD40 inbetween those covers so it gets rid of the moist..

Good advice, but there is ZERO rust anywhere and it’ll never be driven in the rain. 

Went to a very large car show on Vancouver island for Father’s Day (625 + cars) there was a very nice orange early car there Vin 957, young gentleman that inherited it from his dad. 

I took the 240Z out for Caffeine and Chrome this morning. The original plan was to drive the 260Z, but it was having an issue this morning that seems to be fuel related.  I almost got rear-ended by a woman who didn't believe in proper following distances, but that was the end of the drama for a while.  The great thing is that the heat took a break this morning. 

After a while, I had a nice chat with a gentleman who recently purchased a 70 from BaT. I provided him quite a bit of Z Car info.

69F this morning so I uncovered the 240Z. Two hours driving around here, ran perfect. It had 72,xxx when I bought it in 2015 now it has 78,855.

Woah, Cliff!

Ease up there. Don't want to wear it out all at once.

😂

Installed my new replica tail lights. 
looked at guidelines from the web, all suggested to cut a wire under the steering column to separate the brake light from the blinker. Couldent understand why you would have to do that? Theres a connection at the brake light switch, used that and used the new harness from the replica tail lights and everything workes. 
Ofcourse the oem tail light 4 pin connection doesn’t match the 6 pin connection from the replica tail lights, you have to swap these so they match.

Cliff, when was the last time you rolled that queen out of the garage?   Did you take it to the local ZCON festivities happening.

July the 17 I mixed the oil and grease around, burnt the dust of the brakes. I'm scared to go dowm there now. My 4 foot black snake that eats all the chipmunks that store acorns on top of the 280's intake among the other various places has grown to 6 feet now. No more chipmunks but now I have a huge arse snake living in my garage. It's non poisonous by the shape of the head. I know the shape because he leaves me full body skins about twice a year as a way of letting me know he's the boss. I hate snakes. My dog acts weird too from smelling it but I won't kill it unless I have to, you know like maybe a girl sees it and won't come back until it's gone.

Here's one from a week or so ago I found in my bycycle. Windshield to headlight, 5' 8 inches.

 

Okay, so this happened yesterday, but it's still within 24 hours...

After performing well all last week at ZCON 2022, she deserved her spa day.

And all done, ready to go for the next drive/cruise/car meet.
