Welcome to ZDriver!

Hey, that purple car... The steering wheel is on the wrong side!



Rod.

 

haha r u talking about the duck?

 

hey, thanx for the welcome prec. the comment on the Sileighty i love her it make me feel lol j/k as soon as i get the car done ill get some nice quaility pics, hopefully meet some of ya before then or as well.

 

hey thanx for the welcome! yea that purple car damn i hate it LOL wait i guess my Sileighty... has that too, okay time for LMAO

 

so last night i started getting her down to bare metal, ill post some pics when its fully sanded down when i see all the imperfections and areas that need to be replaced.

 

dont let that metal touch water, lol, it will rust when you blink.... damn cars love rusting

 

yea they do... i have a liquid inhibiter <--sp? that chemically turns the rusted metal back to a nutral state.. how it works is u spread it down with a rag then wait till it turns black and sand it. then its ready for sealer.

 

so i got more of the body sanded down today, friday im going to pick up some metal and then get to work on the rusted areas. heres some night shot pics from tonight.

 

wooo wee, you gots a little more rust than i thought. taint all that bad though, you can fix it. good progress though. you going to paint it yourself?

 

thanx man, yea its a lil more rust (rear lower rockers) then i thought but its in big sections that can be cut straight out and new pieces placed in. after the body is fixed im looking into gettin a body kit for it, saw one on a website that was linked from here and add some headlight covers. as far as the paint goes, we've got a 60 gallon with a few sprayR's so we'll get the prime coats and then eventually ill have it pro/sprayed.

 

ok so those who have seen my car in person or have really good eyes and can see where there was a big dent in the back on the right. well yesterday i took care of that and the back crease that was at the tail light fender section.. hammered it out and cut/welded the tail section back in normal shape. i had to stop cause it started raining last night and didnt have time to finish up the welding (not using alot of filler here) heres some pics









ill have more pics tomorrow after i do some stuff.

 

looking good

 

lookin real good, wish i new how to weld/work with metal.

 

thanx man i wish there wasnt all this rust but its ok cause now im learning every sq in of the car

 

thanx man, its really not that hard well i mean ive been doing it for the past 9 years so it comes natural for me. if u ever wanted to learn how to weld, pick up a lincoln weld pack and some scrap metal and go to town

 

nice to see you're working on it.
I've got work to do but I just never get around to it.

 

thanx alot man

dont let history go to waste!

 

No...this.........



It's a battery hold down, hand made, polished stainless steel. You won't find higher quality anywhere.

 

did u make that or something? thats pretty cool looking, i planned on relocating the battery to the back hatch so i could prolly use something like that.

 

No, I didn't make it...but a good friend of mine does. Most of his stuff is for z32's but he has a few gems in there for us.
