Re: DASH'S New Work Truck
 

yup you get way cheaper when you fix yourself :)


hahaha still got the beamer for fun and this is dfor work on hahahhahaa and thanks

Re: DASHS New Work Truck
 

I think most the fun is fixing it yourself and the countless beers that get drank in the process I just started working the body of a 1987 datsun 280z over filling holes, shaving badges and extra chrome, prolly going to fab up some fiberglass bumpers (to shave about 75 to 90lbs of weight off) I would say half the car looks like its newish and the other half looks like its from 1978 haha... Sick truck though and you say that was a roll-over would never be able to tell. DASH = SICK TALENT

Re: DASHS New Work Truck
 

Man you need to post some pics of your project! Love those Z's

Re: DASHS New Work Truck
 

hahaha thanks and yup this is prolly my 20th roll over that i have done thus far..... just a fun hobby that the old man got me into...... i dont mind the body work but my two main auto loves are welding and painting/airbrushing :)

Re: DASHS New Work Truck
 

hell yeah they are fun cars and my buddy just blew the engine in his so looks like i will be stuck rebuilding..... not sure what little extras im going to add but let it be known it will be fast and have plenty of air flow :) :speed:

Re: DASHS New Work Truck
 

you should get some of the before and after shots of the whole job. i'm getn ready to put my auto cross springs(2.5 inches lower) on my 944 and get the torsion bars in the real all adjusted so it sits level. What a bear of a job thats going to be!

Re: DASHS New Work Truck
 

yeah my z ran 70miles before the engine realized the temp sensor was shot and over heated so I gotta pull the engine and pray the head didn't warp and I hear ya on fast from everything I have read on them back in the day it would best a 911 to a hundred but after that it was all porsche so until I can get help with the engine I'm just working on stopping it from rustin away and getting the interiotor ready the nice thing there is not a single crack in the dash its mainly just fixing up the seats and reglueing the headliner alsoI think I'm going to put a all bluetooth stereo in it why have a head unit when you have a pocket pc

Re: DASHS New Work Truck
 

hahhaha thats going to be fun :) (NOT) and yeahfor sure i will do some before and afters of the motor.

Re: DASHS New Work Truck

I just cant get over how nice that truck looks I think if I had i guy with half your talent willing to help me out with my z it would have been done by now but instead I got me with no mechanical talent but can do body work and paint work. this engine is going to be a pain thank gosh I got a hanes manual for just the engine and one for the whole car or I may be lost. Anyways time to pass out just got back from a jungle juice party and I do think the everclear is starting to creep up on me.

Re: DASH'S New Work Truck
