Don't mind the ugly dash

And the hood is sitting on a towel on the radiator (cause all the latch supports are removed) so that's why gaps may look excessive.

The phathom Z see's daylight for the first time. Hope you put sun screen on it.

I was looking at the car with the skateboarder dent in the fender....

Car is at the shop. No pics. So all you naysayers have at it

Cancelled the insurance tow. Had Kevin give me the name of a guy. Turns out he drifts 350Zs

It's funny when I tell people how much money I spent on parts. The first thing they usually ask is how much was the increase in hp. My answer: negligible

The name of my game is reliability.

Selling nothing; throwing away a lot of stuff.

I have first had knowledge of the quality parts you buy. Nice!

I think this initial round of work on the Z is going to involve the following: EPS oil gallery gaskets, SuckerPunch oil pump gears, ATI Damper, new OEM water pump, used OEM PS pump, CJM baffled oil pan, CJM solid motor mounts, PS cooler, and oil cooler.

All good choices.
