Well, after figuring out that the seat mounts I had made earlier in the week wouldn't fit I went back out to work on the 240Z this morning with a bitter taste in my mouth. I started off with a few quick pictures of what I had put together the other day. Read More...

So tonight didn't go to well. First off, I marked the tabs on the seat mounts for drilling, drilled the holes, (all too close to the edges IMHO) only to figure out that I had marked the holes with the corbeau bracket turned sideway, so they were all off Read More...

I spent another hour or so tonight working on the passenger seat mounts I hope to get some bolts tomorrow and attempt to mount the seat into the car tomorrow night or Friday. I'm still waiting on my fuel rail from Lone Wolf Performance. I hope to hear Read More...

Tonight was a semi productive night on the 240Z, which is always a good thing when some productivity happens during the week, it's hard enough being productive on the weekends. More on tonight in a bit. Summit Racing kindly sent me all of the fuel part Read More...

The 240Z once again stands on its own! Eric and I put the brakes back together on the car, put the wheels on and roll her out into the driveway. Spun her around, and rolled her back in. Then we procede to begin on the fuel cell installation (read cut Read More...

I finally got the video working from my new camera. I installed Windows Vista again last night on my home Machine (after 4 months of running on XP again) and with Vista the camera works great! You can see/download the video with the URL below. But please Read More...

With the help of a buddy of mine I was able to get the intake manifold removed from the car, as well as the exhaust manifold and the turbo. I had hoped to have video up today but for some reason my laptop apparently decided to have some troubles with Read More...

I came out to the garage an hour ago. The motor is once again removed from the 240Z. HD video with my new video camera will be posted tonight. More work to do out here. Share this post: Email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! Read More...

So I spent some time tonight working on trying to remove the intake manifold from the car. Long story short, I didn't get very far and I'm going to pull the motor back out of the car on Saturday. Getting parts removed off the motor is a huge pain in the Read More...

Last night I returned the Vertical sander that I had purchased from Sears that was broken when I removed it from the box. I got a replacement sander and brought it home to install. I setup the webcam on the wall, right above the work bench, and got to Read More...

So this weekend was anything but productive. I ended up not getting a thing done on the car this weekend. I did manage to get the drill press together Saturday morning, and I acquired a trailer Saturday morning. Sunday was a different story. I had planned Read More...

Well I went out and got myself a trailer today, pics tomorrow. I didn't get anything else done on the car, though I did get the drill press put together today. Then we spent the day cleaning the house for a small party we had tonight some old school chums. Read More...

So I seriously think I have spent more money on tools than I have spent on the car or parts for the car! I bought more stuff at Sears tonight, also went to the Metal Supermarket and picked up some metal to work on the car this weekend. I'm hoping to tow Read More...

Alright, so my fuel cell arrived today! It sure is purty, and big I'm not yet sure how I'm going to mount it in the car, though I'm hoping to talk to Mark Huebbe and borrow the welder again sometime soon so I can possibly make a bracket to mount it above Read More...
