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
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 |

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 |

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............

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. |
