Could just beef them up with another plate and keep them for the tabs

Glad to see you are still working on this Damon.
Love the new brakes!

Promise Land · 02-21-2012, 06:53 PM

Did you strip the original door fabric off or go over it with the Bride material? What did you use to tuck the fabric in the groove?

You may want to address that question here:

I may make an official Zilvia write-up since I have more pictures of the process after this past weekend.

Kyle took some photos during the process, so like Toby said- hopefully we will be able to put together another how-to for his Q & A thread.

Still no progress on the car itself- just a lot of running around like crazy to get ready for the vacation. I did have a couple of things show up yesterday though:

PMU rear pads for the Z32 swap:

Ugh, let's try that again...

Tanabe fender braces- totally unnecessary and hidden when installed, but I figured "why not?":

Seriously? This cat has a magnetic pull to parts, lol:

I still need to order conversion lines and rotors- then I will have everything for the rear brakes. I'll get back to work on the car and post an update again next Friday.

Brian · 02-22-2012, 09:30 AM

Nice update~!

don't worry, still got to look for ENDLESS swag~~~~~~~~~~~~

Planning to shop for some RED Wings swag when I get home for you, sir.

I have the NAMS Gacchiri, and they actually made a big difference, I can really feel the power of my biceps now.

100% agree!!!

Drift_This · 02-22-2012, 10:37 AM

Hey Damon are you going to get new shoes for the Z32 ebrake drums? If so aftermarket or OEM replacement?

Brian · 02-22-2012, 10:50 AM

The box was super nice man! Appreciate that.

CamryOnBronze · 03-05-2012, 10:38 AM

I'm back from vacation and ready to hunker down on this thing. March is the last true month of winter around here if you ask me (aside from the occasional dip into April) so I really need to get to work on this bay if I have any hope of having the car all back together by June first.

Unfortunately I only had time to spare on Friday, but I did make some pretty good progress on the passenger side. There are still some small areas that need attention, but for the most part it is in good shape. Planning to spend tonight on the driver's side and see what I can accomplish.

In other news, I think I am coming out of my short Blitz 03 obsession, lol. I'll probably just keep the TEs for this season and see how I am feeling next spring. It's hard telling with me, though.

va240dude · 03-05-2012, 03:01 PM

Man that bay has come far in a short time, I can't wait till you get the paint on!!! Great job man!

EazyS13 · 03-05-2012, 07:22 PM

good looking stuff dude

CamryOnBronze · 03-06-2012, 08:46 AM

Thanks guys- sure doesn't feel like a short time, haha. Really looking forward to it being painted and back in the garage!

How it sits after last night's filler/ sanding session. Another one on the way tonight:

Ughhhhh.

Darren · 03-06-2012, 08:53 AM

Looking Good!

The more work you put into this stage, the better the final product will be... so keep it up, and remember what all the work is for!!!

KravingAKouki · 03-06-2012, 08:53 PM

Great build man, I thought nice cars were non existent in the salty midwest. I love your cat btw, I love how it poses in your part pics

towlie · 03-08-2012, 10:19 PM

Liking the progress, also endless + TE = WIN

CamryOnBronze · 03-12-2012, 11:20 AM

^ Thanks guys!

The weather was unbelievable here in Michigan yesterday, so I decided to get adventurous and see if I could pull the car out into the daylight for the first time in about five months. I got a little crafty and ended up getting the car out of the garage:

It was filthy from all of the sanding and grinding going down in the garage over the winter, so I decided to clean it up a bit... so that it could sit back in the garage some more.

I worked on the sanding while the car was out in the sun, which was a really nice change of pace. Pretty cool to work in natural lighting for a change, haha.

Got it back into the garage by tossing the subframe on and using my floor jack as a dollie, lol. Really need to get a legitimate dollie to transport this thing to paint:

I ended the evening by throwing down a coat of SEM etch primer. Things are looking pretty solid at this point! Now I just need to find a way to get the car to the body shop as soon as I can. My main car-hauling dude is going to be out of town for a few weeks, so I'll see what I can do.

scottie · 03-12-2012, 11:40 AM

NICE! Once the paint is laid down, clear gleaming in the sun you wont want to put anything back in the bay in fear of a scratch lol.
