Hi guys! :classic: Thought I'd make a thread about my Z project, as there's finally some progress. A couple of years ago, I bought this almost complete Z. (Se my introduction post here: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/thread40142.html) The previous owner, who imported this car from the US got tired of welding, and sold it to me for cheap. It came with all the parts in boxes, as well as a lot of new parts like complete poly bushes, rebuild parts etc. My original plan was to do a full nut and bolt restoration, but then we had a serious rainstorm, and my workshop was flooded. This was the road outside our house. To be honest, 20 cm (8 inches) of mud and water flooding the workshop pretty much killed my motivation, and the project was halted for a year, while I was gathering some parts. A year later, I figured I had bitten more than I could chew, and found a new Z. It was in good condition (or so I thought), but the engine bay was in need of a bit of paint. New plan - remove the engine, simplify the engine bay, give it a bit of paint, and rebuild the engine from the other Z. Removed the AC (28kg worth of junk) and then the engine. Then it became pretty obvious that the engine bay was in need of more work than just a bit of paint. Several hours of grinding, and out comes the truth - the car has been crashed, and the previous repair work is dodgy at best. More to come in the next post...:classic:
