Nice! Another 2+2 guy on the board! We're getting bigger every day, I swear.

Can't wait until Tuesday ... this should be good.

It's cool - no offense taken. They're your Zs, do with them as you please, by all means!

I like the 2-seaters a lot too, but I'm a die-hard 2+2 fan. My first car was a 2+2 [Rx7 though].

There ShE Is.

I have more Pic's to upload. But dial up is a bitch. so I posted the main ones for now. I have some of other cars he has, like all the old mustangs, a charger, El Cameno, what looks like a Bel Air with an *** of a truck, (maby just an early version of El Cameno) and other's. Enjoy

P.S if you stay on the EnTeR page for a min, those letters spell something......And they are being poseted as there being uploaded, so keep looking back for more pic's will show up.

Those like three pic's are all thats gona be there for like a day. I have to get all 56 of them rezied, and the evo need to be turned down a bit. then the long boring upload of 56 pic's, at around 2-3 min apice. But they will be up and ready (all of them) br friday.

Not bad man, needs some TLC. But it looks like it has potential. Even though I am not a fan of the 2+2. The Z looks good for what it is. I wish you all the best of luck. Everybody has their preference.

Too bad the owner of the 2-seater wouldn't sell it. He's just letting all those cars rust into the ground anyway...

same guy owned both car's. but for some reason he would not let go of the two seater. it was in worst condition though, he draged it, and sherded the rear axle, the trany was shot, and there was no interrior. so the one i got was in best condition. Right now i am trying to get the cable for bat replaced. that damn bolt is behind the starter. makes it hard.any tips would be nice.

dont take shortcuts with your car.. even though it may take a few extra minutes to do something think this..

if you dont have the time to do it right the first time, when will you have time to do it over again?

A Few Things. First i got her ready to crank for first time. I lost $5 worth of gas due to (not known till now) some one cut a foot (12 inches) of fule line out. so it drained on the ground. after i got that fixed, she really wanted to crank. starter turns, just no gas to fire. I will look into it more in the morning, And only two things work on the inside, Mirrors, and headlights. other then that, nothin, no dash lights, no gauges, a/c fan, inside lights, blinkers, Nothin. all this go out at once? i think there is something behind it. the only ting that seams to do anything on the dash is headlight switch. list of things out: Windows, rain blades, WHOLE dash, gauges(all), no dash lights, no A/C-Heater fan, Horn, list goes on. Tips are welcome.

What did you do to get the dash going? To post a pic, go down to Additional options (below "submit reply") in the "advanced reply" part. Then hit "manage Attachments"

Are there metal clips inside the holes on that 'relay'? I think only five are used. You can put a spare relay in the empty socket. Also, all those relays are the same part. They are interchangable.

I think the wiring harness might be the factory radio wires.
