Project Z32
Project Z32
So it's been 4 months since I bought my donor.... I planned on stripping the car down complete....the challenge began with removing everything off the unibody.....in the first week I removed these items....front bumper,headlights,radiator,fenders,door panels,doors.....within 2 weeks I was planning out the next move on removing the vehicle harness.....after that I was unbolting stuff.....such as front suspension ..arms....brakes etc.....then I had a pause cause I needed to figure how to cut this car up .and leave the motor and tranny intacked.....more pics to come

Re: Project Z32
Chassis gone,engine harness removed,now I can see all that awaits me....removing the plenum....removing the smaller cooling lines underneath,then the fun begins.....there's so much corrosion on the valve covers that I couldn't leave it alone.so now I have the plenum off I think I'm gonna start deleting all unnecessary bolt holes and give it bath before I start polishing....my original plan was to spend most my time mocking up motor mounts and engine mounts....but seeing all that.......just gave me the reason to polish out some parts and try doin a wire tuck,.....will post picks of the plenum before.during and after...
Re: Project Z32
That looks like some fun sawzalling .... .... are you going to weld in the Z32 firewall and tranny tunnel???
