On the road again...ok maybe just "on the road for 1st time"
I feel like a kid, gotta tell you guys, another Z has been revived. The zNuclearBeast is on the road.
After having replaced the rear shocks, all 4 brake pads and rotors, the rear calipers, new ignition, new gascap, new battery, new spark plugs, new wires, new oil and filter, new air filter, new seat covers, shampoo'ed carpet and a good wash....she's on the road! and she's running great! passed the emmissions test 1st shot with flying colours and that after a year worth of being parked inside my garage.
I gotta say maybe I got lucky with this...as I was bracing for more of a hit in the wallet. Rather less of one, since I am paying about $300 less in insurance with this beast then my previous set of wheels, a 1992 Eagle Talon. And this one is a whole lot more everything...more power, more style..... the list goes on and on.
The looks on the street are envious even though the body/paint job is nothing to brag about and it sounds like a mini V8. Like I've said before "All I want is for it to run like a top and look like it could use a million bucks"...wish granted!
I LOVE IT!
Now onwards to a paint job! choices choices...
