240 Z Conversion
Stage III
This project will never end.
What I'm about to tell is top secret
Don't let anyone know.
Only you and the rest of the internet world will
know.
What I have done is removed all of the engine
compartment stuff, and I mean everything.
I removed the fire wall or I should say part
of it, just enough to make a 1" shelf for my 9/16
wrench. I know why a shelf? Well because
I'm tired of not having any where to put it,
when I'm working on the distributor. Not only
did I put a shelf, I'm planning on putting a light
above the shelf so I can see what I'm doing and
to show the chrome.
I have modified the braking with 1983 Toyota
4x4 front calipers. Now that is the easiest
modification I have done to this car.
I'm sorry if I have offended anyone in the Z
World with what I have done to my car
I respect you all and your Z cars you run.
I just enjoy taking things apart and changing
them to my own comfort.
These pictures you are about to see are not and
I mean NOT final pictures.
These pictures are of a car in progress and I
do not know what the heck I'm doing
but it is fun!
I'm just a back yard wrench turner.
My moma always told me to have fun to the fullest
and always remember to smile.
O.K.
It is time - pictures

| This car has gone through a lot of changes in the past 5 years.
From six to V8, from top to no top, from mild V8 to wilder V8. The V8 you see here is now back in the truck where it originated. |
The color has been changed from green, to blue, to primer, grey, red,
grey, red, then black and red (primer)
Now the car is RED, I hope to stay this color for awhile. |
Cleaned the fire wall by putting another sheet of metal over the existing firewall, after modifying the tunnel. |
