  1. Thanks for the info. I had actually found out a coworker had this car, who coincidentally lived maybe 5 minutes from my parents house where I grew up. However I never laid eyes on the car once before buying it. It worked out quite well. I had an 84 VW Rabbit that my friend was dying to buy from me, so I ended up selling that to him for the same price I paid for the Z. I was so pleasantly surprised with the car throughout the build. There was no rust anywhere on the thing, come to find out the guy I bought it from picked it up in North Carolina while down on a trip for Michelin. However it did still spend 10 years here, but he must have really took care of it. My only complaint was that it looked like at some point someone jacked the car up on the passenger side floor, it was bent in quite a bit, enough I couldn't get my new transmission bracket to fit. Nothing a little hammer couldn't take care of though!
  2. Started with a perfectly fine '73 then I ripped the poor little thigh apart. Pretty much brand new everything, besides the steering rack and the body I think everything else is new. I did an LS3 swap and I'm kinda close to being done...maybe... Not really, probably never hah. Here's a few pics of how it's sitting now. Still have to do all of my gauges and waitig on a 90 deg silicone coupling for my intake. I had a spare stock lotus diffuser and used exhaust tips from the W12 Phaeton. Passenger side tip still a bit crooked but that's pretty low on the priority list right now. If you guys would like to see any more let me know I took quite a few pics along my journey. I do have a quick questions, it's been almost 2 years since I ripped it all apart and I kind of forgot how it was haha. The coolant temp and oil pressure gauges... Is it just a single wire that runs from the senders/sensors to the back of the gauge? Thanks!
