bizz Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hey Everyone, I hope you are well, I am back again For those of you that are new or missed the first thread follow the below link for the complete build from day1 until now. http://www.350z-uk.c...t-it-can-drift/ Who remembers this?? A lot has happened since then and there is much more to come. Here's a rough list to get you in the picture (in no particular order): - Fit new front end Flock dash Move steering rack forward Remove centre box Redo engine wiring harness Rework GT MAX lock kit Widen rear end by 150mm Make wide arch kit Wire in lights Get MOT'd and Insured So I have already got a start on the front end... Trial fit of the new wings Start of the new bumper bar to fit the V2 bumper, which replaces the V3 from last year The last pic from this evening I really like the look and the V2 lends itself more to what I want do with the car in future Quick latches need to be fitted, the tow strap mount needs to be made and then it's off to paint and the vinyl shop. The updates might be a bit slower than before but I will keep you all up to date as much as possible. Anyway I'll end the first post of this thread with some fun stuff My friend Jason from Clark Customs and I (I had sold the bumper at this point) having fun on the full track day at Teesside One of my garage helpers Not the best vid in the world but it's my first go at using my GoPro Cheers Bizz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizz Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hey I'm back Been working on the new front end as I touched on in my first post but I'll try not to bore you too much So went from a straight bit of pipe to this... ..... which you already know.... then... ...started to build it up with the new lugs to hold the bumper on. I've moved away from the aerocatches on the bumper this time as I thought that they looked a bit too big and ugly plus they never really lined up too well. So opted for some quick release fasteners from Demon Tweeks and so far I'm pretty impressed. I put a better support at the top of the bumper which helps lines it up and fastens it. (Please don't compare my fab skills to that in Trig's build ) But slowly getting the hang of welding again now You can see the heads of the fasteners in this one I spent more time getting the alignment right on the lights, bonnet and wings this time and it's come out pretty well. Kept the spring clips on the side and will put locating pins in the wings once they have been rolled. The wheels sit a bit outside of the wings at the moment The completed bar, with new towing point which sits just proud of the bumper without losing the quick fit nature Just before I started cutting the bumper up I received a nice parcel from the awesome Tarmac Sportz.... Long wheel studs, the nostrils for the bumper (pics to come) and some new steel wheel nuts I will be putting through their paces. Oh yeah and the final Whiteline poly bushes to finally fix the rear end of my car Like I said I was going to cut my nice new bumper up again... but for a good reason That's all the pics of the mocking up I've got the only one I have left is the view I usually see from the wing mirror of my truck Hopefully when I pick it up it will be the RIGHT shade of purple (check out my previous build thread for the background on that) Booked in for vinyls next Thursday so in the next 10days she should be back to her former glory/better Thanks everyone for reading will be back soon with some more updates but time is running out before Round 1 at Lydden Hill 17th and 18th April. Come and say hi Cheers Bizz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Looking forward to seeing the vinyl done Even though your Z is a legit racecar - I still prefer the V2 front over the V3... Looking forward to seeing it all livery'd up! Edited March 13, 2015 by Cal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
