Some updates from last week.

Grinding of the chassis

Test panel of final colour

If you guys see the old pictures area around the surge tank was open and tank's mount were not strong as well, so I got it all closed by a sheet and frame is welded with the body.

side covers might work as a diffuser

cleaned , sanded and primed

As the floor of the car were changed so custom seat mounts welded, then sanded, anti rust coated and then primed for paint.

engine bay was black so primed for new colour.

They removed all suspension parts for final primer and colour will take a camera today to take some pictures. Car will be going for engine installation saturday morning.

Interior engine bay all done car was taken for engine work on Sunday

Final touches like battery tray

Painted

Dint take pictures of engine bay painted will take some clean ones later.

Heart!

Very clean engine came with auto gearbox from a 2002-3 GT, so hopefully will be in good condition.

Today they will give me all the outer parts for custom painting, head gasket, water body and timing belt will be changed for some peace of mind.

nice updates

Nice

I thought it was funny to see the guy grinding the chassis wearing just shalwar kameez. I'd expect to see that in Pakistan, but I guess they do it in Dubai too

Alchemy · 12-20-2011, 08:28 AM

coming along

I was surprised to see the safety measures

but in the end result was good and quiet common here

Engine painting

Parts removed

All parts were cleaned, then primed with a special primer then heat resistant paint was applied and a final high temp clearcoat. It should last for a while I hope. The combo is of red, black and silver.

More pictures coming soon

Hope enjoy it after you're done because i know a lot of people usually sell it off after they've completed a project

roplusbee · 12-30-2011, 02:03 PM

Did you sell the 370z or did you keep it? You are building a pretty stout stable if I do say so myself. One of these days, I will find a 240z worth resurrecting............

Z I sold it and got a G37s Sedan instead

Got my wheels from Ravespec, It was really nice of Mark to go all the way out and get these from Japan to USA and to Dubai in 6 day

Work Meister CR01 with Gun Metal center
15 X 8.5 -9 around 95mm lip
15 x 9.5 -24mm around 135mm lip biggest you can get

Placing against the car

Try to find out which one to use?

Boost_lee · 12-31-2011, 01:13 AM

those wheels are gonna look great!

roplusbee · 01-01-2012, 04:07 PM

Looking good bro........I saw your thread about the G. Pretty pimp. The 240Z is going to be epic.......

docaam · 01-02-2012, 12:48 AM

Thanks guys, it taking lot of time but im keeping my patience intact lol,

Some other pictures engine bay painted

found differential mounts (moustache bar was missing)

Still need a custom plate because 87 ZX differential is slightly different

Gearbox with custom mounting plate

Engine assembled with painted parts

This fake CF coloured plate and a sticker was used by my installer so will remove that once car is out of the workshop and replace with stock plate coloured in silver

for the sticker, cant disappoint the guy atleast for the time being

Still to go, but will fix after engine is inside the bay.
