Everyone loves piktarz!
Rear all assembled, before detailing.
Front bracket to support Z31 NA caliper, using the Z31 Hub and brake disc without a spacer between the hub rotor. I still need to cut the upper brake caliper mount off, so that the new caliper will fit. lol

Well, the rear is all together, painted and tightened.
I just need to finish the front, which I figure should take about an hour to an hour and a half. :D

So is it posi now ?
odd things the police have said to me; "you can't drive that on the road", "I like your cow", "I didn't think you would pull over so quick"

Still on jack stands, but the wheels bolted on:

A few more pictures from the Car show. These were taken by a guy I know that runs High Impact Imagery.

Well, I pulled 4 gauges out of the car tonight, in preparation of relocating/replacing a couple and installing a radio again.

Well, I found one issue tonight, when I had the car on the hoist...
My right rear wheel was rubbing on the spring perch of the strut. :/
It seems that all of my test fitting was done with the wheel that has ended up on the left rear of the car, since it was a narrower tire (same size in numbers 225/50/16), but the rest of the tires were wider at the sidewall.
So for a quick fix for now, I bought some 5mm thick spacers.

Hell must be a bit chilly this evening...
I started to do some body work on the 240Z....
Well, even what I did would still be considered more on the modification side than repair....
I filled the antenna hole and filled the driver side 1/4 vent hole. I didn't have to time to do the passenger side yet, either I'll head back later and do it, or do it tomorrow night.
One day it will be one colour. lol

Pretty cool Ol Z under that Nasty paint and rust!
You know your on the final streatch when you start doing body work and paint.
I've had my 73 Scout for 3 years now and so far I have changed the oil, washed and waxed it, put on a soft top and driven it 600 miles. It is bone stock with 66K miles. Never had a stock vehicle in my life. So far I have collected a four speed close ratio trans for street with a 2 speed Dana 20 transfer case to replace the single speed transfer case and tree speed. 2 sets of bucket seats, one high back one low back to replace the bench (that is origanal and perfect) dana 44 to replace the dana 30 front end, power disc brakes to replace the manual drum, power steering to replace the manual, stock AC system, stock title wheel, 4.0L HO head and a 2002 aluminumtuned port MPFI intake for the 358 six cylinder and a few other things. Been afraid to ruin the value. Then being broke and book is between $10K and $15K I put it on eBay starting at $4k and never got a bid... so the hell with stock value I am starting to redesign it the way I want this week it begins with Power Steering!!!! Guess I will have to start a build thread!

Oh this isn't home stretching... far, far, far from it.
Eventually the car will be torn down to the basic chassis, put on a spit and a bunch of reinforcement added, along with a bunch of parts changed.
I'm only starting the body work, because the way it looks is really starting to get to me. lol

We have a '78 280Z that is the original black, which we think makes it a Black Pearl, but we're not sure. I doesn't have the Sports Appearance Package, but from what I have read some were optioned without it. We don't know what to do with it. Would like to sell it as we have more than enough projects on the list. But I think an LS-whatever would be a good swap if I had the money.
