Tomorrow for sure.


Today is still ongoing. Obviously, I'm very excited, and I plan on tinkering into the night until I get too tired to continue. Here are some half assed pictures taken for the update.

Tomorrow I will go for that drive.

Note the first picture is super compressed, and the tape line doesn't look like Legos in real life.

Thanks guys. Definitely worth the 74 dollars in materials. :)


Well I didn't get to drive to the store as I had hoped, to pick up some milk, but I did manage to take it down the road. Definitely needs bushings. I'll be buying those soon. Other than that, it's going to be perfect as a daily. It's weird once again driving a Z, and with power steering no less.


It's still not done, but you can finally start to see it taking shape. Lots of stuff to go on the car yet. Most stuff is only held together by a couple bolts.





Here's my $889 car. So far...

(lighting was not optimal for photography, apologies, I'll get better photos in the better light tomorrow.)

I'm going to leisurely bolt together some parts tonight. After work tomorrow, I will start driving the car, and working out any hiccups from non use.

What goes in the gaps on the sides where the bumper is?

Edit: Google was my friend lol. Do you have those pieces?
