Q restoration

[konatown]

Just dumping a bunch of money in the car with 148000 on it.

On Tuesday I get a new PS front door, mirror, fender and front bumper cover.Already isntalled a new steering rack and tierod ends. Tokicko Blues came in today, adjusties still in transit.

Can't wait to get this car painted green again. The 350Z Track edition 18 x 8 and 18 x 8.5 wheels look fantastic against the green.

Once I'm done with the body and suspension I'll be replacing Knock sensors, MAF, FPCU and Fuel pump. Ofcourse along with a NICO ECU tune (provided one core is left available).

Car is coming along nicely and soon should be operating better than it has ever!

Now all you need is a camera to take pictures of it!

How's your interior? With that kind of mileage I'm assuming you must need new leather. I've done a bunch of the underhood stuff (plenum/KS/KS harness/hoses/plugs) but am out of funds to do anything cosmetic! Are you going to do your own prep for the bodywork?

I could use new carpet floor mats but the interior leather is in mint condition except the driver's seat and steering wheel. The only other interior flaw is the headliner, the previous owner must've used a lot of hairspray in the car because it is caked on and scaley. Also I just broke the sunroof slide button =X.

Alright! Someone is doing some serious restoration. I think that is just great konatown, really. It's nice to see. After all that I've have done to mine, I have only the sunroof motor that is just about dead. You will love when you can sit back and look at your Q and just marvel at all you have done to it and simply enjoy the ride! It will literally take you aback for a second...

Keep it up!

I really can't wait to be able to tear into the engine especially.With the summer heat coming the car is really losing a step or two downlow.

Sure the summer gas is part of it, but after a warmsoak the car is just awful to drive for the first two minutes until it levels out.

I'm looking at about $8000 into the car this year.
