Again beautiful!!

Matthew

thanks for all comments guys, exspecially the positive ones

The relay box is from a Nissan 300ZX Z31. The fuse box from a Suzuki Alto (MK3/90's car).

My brother helped me out this weekend he made a "modern" radio in the glovebox with a special space for my owner's manual.





The dash with the foam is in place, the wiring is all hooked up (only pin nr. 9 wire still to do and the backup switch wire)
Checked the switches etc, and all works except the low/high beam on the column switch. Must be hooked up somewhere wrong....







made a hole in the right rear for the wire from the alternator to the battery in the trunk (which is not there yet, needs a bracket, etc.)



Also sprayed the inside of the front fenders with wax which should protect against stonedamage







Also attemped to put the fueltank under the car but the fuellines from the pump are hitting the trunkbottem. We solve it in time, just figuring something out, there is no way back.

new windshield is in. It's green, bit pitty, because the rest of the glass is clear.





Been solving the high beam problem



and solved



did some small things...

handthrottle cable to short to move it over to the leftside. Have to pull it back and lenghten the cable



The heater hoses/pipes, waterdrainage pipe, vacumhose, hood unlock, etc, it's all there in place...















MAF pipes in place (used from Saab, I thought 9000, junkyard car)





little bit fun





ECU pinnr 9 in place



windshield A frame bolts in place





Antenna, welded the hole, so had to drill it open again...



wipers on



coolant drainage tube





Almost ready to put on some fenders

What radiator is that?

WOW!

looks great Erica.
Does it works before Norway?

AWESOME very nice work, and documentation of it. thanks for taking the time to post a write up with pictures as you put this together.

getting closer @ parts coming together



thanks to the painter, the fenders and doors where an easy fit, just minutes not hours to fit in nice.

The fueltank...the pump (300ZX) was a bit to high, hitted the bottom trunk. So we put some rubber between tank and bottomrail. Also longered the hooks (new ones) and made a filter (300ZX) in place. Pictures tell it all.















used a rubber of a coupling cylinder (on the transmission of a 300zx), boots from a brake cylinder could do the trick too...

OK, that hump on the bottom of the tank looks dangerous to me - if that thing snags on something it could be pretty disastrous - is it just the angle of the picture, or does it hang lower than about everything else on the car?

It looks it's under the car, but when you hit(easily) a ramp(and we have lots of them in the Netherlands)with the back of the car it can be a problem.
But the car goes good Erica, you gonna make it for June.(Norway).

that hump is to put my fuelpump in place...
it isn't lower than the differential, so I don't think it gives a problem, but if it does I let you guys know.

But what he and I mean is when you drive off the ramp, your wheels are on the street and the rest of the car is still on the ramp.
