I see its a 84 by the 4-lug wheels that are only on the 84 300zx.

I see its an 84 by the thread title.

Is that a red interior? God I hate that stuff, what was with manufacturers in the 80's and porno red interiors? Full resto or restomod? Color plans? I was watching old car advertisments on youtube the other day and the old Z ones were great, technology this, digital that. I will be following this build.

well its not gonna be a full restore just get as nice as i can to my ability type of thing... as for the color im gonna keep it the stock medium red poly, no crazy beaner color like the rest of my paint jobs on other cars... i have the turbo hood and want a turbo wing for it too but just want to get it looking nice again... yeah just sitting in this car you notice all of the technology they cram in this car is cool.. im putting in a slave cylinder and new battery and working on the brakes tonight.. ill get pics up soon

[JN210]

[99civic]

UPDATE: started undercoating the frame and finishing up grinding and painting brake parts. installed a new clutch master cylinder, sweet intake.
ill have a few pics up soon

[99civic]

got it running last night and put the new tires on... took it around the block and still have alot to work on.... here is a few pics



got the front bumper kinda mounted still have to do some hammering so it all lines up better need to figure out the gauge power problem and run some new fuel and put in a new filter, then i can dig into it more....

yeah that would be great a few gauges worked for like 5minutes ans the taillights and stuff worked but then they all shut off again for no reason... hope that power supply helps...

seems like this project took a rest or something
