my front bumper is toast...so is the grill....keeping that shit though..

 

 

 

...I AM getting another Z.

 

 

....just have to find it.

 

 

.....depends on how much shit the one I buy comes with....then I'll decide what to part out.

Got a guy to send me some pix of his abandoned project........just another option.

 

 

I know the rust spots are minor.....but I don't weld yet.

 

 

He did say he has 95% of the parts to get it back together....missing a few things like front bumper and front turn signals......

I know, my friend and I do ALOT of metal fabrication and I am always looking for something awesome to restore that I can get for a low price. Let me know what you decide.

Well......

 

I wanted to get my shit running real bad.......I'm going through serious withdrawals.......had my OG radiator laying around waiting for some fixin'....has a leak at the top seam.

 

@%#$^ that.....Allumaseal to the rescue!!!

 

I bolted it up where it would fit.....pour magic solution in.....topped off.....checked vitals.......and had it running...

 

 

Boy did it blow out some shit.....smoke like you were trying to put out a bonfire.....ran for like 10-15 minutes......

 

 

By this time, I'm inside holding it at about 2500.........skyblue leans over to me and says....

 

"Your headers are ORANGE"....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Uuuummmmmmmmm......ya.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately...I do NOT have pics for this.....I was late at the shop after some sidework.....got an itch and went for it....

 

 

...we'll see what's in store

Yes the 240.

 

I think a mixture of oil and gas

 

No....made sure it was full and clean enough....

 

 

.....more to come.....with my young'ins though Monday.....

 

 

Don't know if it's a good idea to repeat the glowing header.......so much for the coating...
