Did the 300zx rotors come from the parts car? Someone sure spent some time building it with a turbo, T5, LSD and the brake upgrade. Is ther anything else done to it?

It sounds likethe donor is in better condition then a lot of cars we are restoringLOL

[grnsky]

Yes the whole strut assy. Car came with some great looking MSA sway bars and some other goodies.

Had some major success today, eng and T5 installed. Lots and lots of work.

A fresh coat of paint does wonders. Your making good progress.

Thanks Chas,

LSD was installed today along with Tokicos in the rear.

Rear needs a complete refresh, but will have to wait for until after car is running.

Aiming for Sept car show in LBC to have the car running.

T5 trans install completed today. Mount was fab'd and installed. The Mustang shifter feels terrific. Will take pics. No trans tunnel cutting required. (:

Drive shaft, speedo cable and exhaust down pipe installed today. Start on wiring harness on Sun.

New radiator installed, changing out exhaust bolts for studs. Progress is slow.

But it is still progress and thats what counts;)

Thanks Euro, made a little more progress today. Heat has been crazy lately. Intercooler was mounted using the horn holes, fuel pump wiring is already in place from stock harness? I have a collection of coils, but is pretty much ready for first start up. (:

[EuroDat]

You have done a good job mounting the intercooler. Looks really neat.

Thanks, I couldn't take the credit for it though. Got some Tokicos for the rear courtesy of Hybridz. Went ahead and installed them today.

Still need some filters, clamps, hoses, etc. Maybe tomorrow for start up.
