Talking work done on the 76

I know I have been slacking on posting here. My bad just been really busy and such, but i am still alive..

now on to the car... not much new with the engine and suspension, just cleaning up hte 81 turbo rims to make them look a tad nicer.

The interior is another story though, I completely gutted it out and checked for rust and i found NONE!!!!

The center console was trashed so i'm working on a wood skeleton to do a FG or a Acrylic custom one with a cup holder!!!

Swapped out the doors with a 260z (doors that lock), rear hatch (no holes in it from louvers)

pulled the dash along with the 240z rear tail panel and lights (already modded to fit my car)

better quarter windows, leather wrapped steering wheel, a few other rims, and such... just waiting to see if the guy that had the parts car who he gives the turbo motor too... crosses fingers just the motor and head nothing else

oh and awaiting a arizonia Z cowl hood!!!!


Now I primered the whole car to keep rust away from it, oh and to match my new MSA Type III kit!!!!

So far i have just the sides on but am slowly working on the front to line up with the lights. The rear needs some work to fit cause my exhaust pipe is crooked and need to straigten...

I'm sorry I don't have pics now camera is broken, but i'll post them as soon as my friend posts them on my local club site..

so yeah sorry bout not posting!!!

eh... muffler looks fine to me, but yes it needs to be straight out, not curved down.

Yeah, I did that to mine and painted it with black header paint and it is a lot less noticeable.
