project "350-z" 031

Alright, got some plans for it when i get back to ft couch, first is to cut the radiator support and tilt the radiator forward at about a 55* degree angle, then rebuild the support and build an air box as well as a vent that takes the air flowing out of the radiator and force it to vent ontop of the hood.

second, cut out the spare tire well, reinforce the rear frame rails and mount my 16 gallon fuel cell and run the lines. and then make some sheet metal to cover up the left over open spaces.

third is to set the motor back 7 more inches and make a new firewall, while this is being done i can install the new subaru power steering rack and start the dash swap of doom.

fourth is to reinforce the rear of the car and make mounts for the z32 IRS swap and then swap it.

fifth is to start making a cleverly built and well hidden cage.

the sixth and final mod is exhaust.

possible mods include a z32 front frame/strut tower swap or the s13 front spindle swap.
