Finally after months, I got around to taking some more recent pics of my '82 280zx. Including the primer job, with my cool tinted headlight covers. Also my Pioneer deck, that I installed back in the fall of '07. And the GT wheel back on my car. Anyway enjoy the pics, and feel free to comment.
These are of the outside of my Z.

 

Here are a few pics of my stereo, and recent interior changes. Also a couple peeks of my engine bay. Enjoy. Oh, and yes I know the engine bay needs to be cleaned. lol I will get around to it eventually.

 

very nice looking there, love the blue dash by the way.

 

lookin good, join my club though and paint her! haha.


p.s. that exhaust tip is funky lol

 

Nice! Did you do the gauges? I like! Good luck with the project.

 

Primer gray for life!!!

 

thats not an exhaust tip, thats a leg branding device.

 

LOL

So what color are you going to paint it?

 

same as the transformer, which is like silver and blue i think.

 

Where did you get your wheels from?

 

Wildman's wheels??? They're stock 82-83 turbo rims.

 

looking good, aaron------i love the leg branding device-----dont listen to snowy.......maybe he will be banned again, just for being snowy......heehee......keep up the good work...........

 

Thanks man, and it's a he. Only my Firebird is a she.

 

No sorry man, hate to burst your bubble. But he will not stay primer gray. And I don't want to renew my membership to the primer club. lol

 

A medium to dark blue, with a metallic silver. Just like an '81 1/2 Turbo clone. This will give you an idea.


Like both of these, except without the louvers. And the silver stripe will not go past the cowl panel. (windshield)



And I am cloning my Z, like this Diaclone Pre-Transformers toy. (bottom one in the box) "Bluestreak"

 

Thanks....Well sort of...I got the white overlays from Ebay over 2 years ago. Painted my needles blue and silver. Put Autobot symbols on the gauges. And changed all the bulb covers to blue. And the list goes on and on.... But that should give you an idea.

 

thats awesome love the interior colout combo. will look sweet with the car following that through. where is that fuel rail from that everyone seems to have with the guage built in

 

Nice JSK fuel rail, Wildman! Too bad those aren't made anymore...

 

Well my Z looks a little different than before. Observe the hood.... The color it is, that is the color of my Z now. Yes you got it...He is now flat black. And I love it, he looks real stealthy. And it will do, until he gets stripped for restoration. Pics may happen here soon. Not sure at the moment. Will let you all know.

 

Very nice. That dash is a sweet piece of work!

Thanks man, still not where I want it to be. But I will get there. You have a nice project also. And it will be rewarding. As you slowly fix it up. And you will learn a great deal. I promise you that.
