I been working on this thing for nearly 5 years. probably going on 6 by now. Taken her apart and together countless of times. and this might be my last time. Due to being in debt and neglecting it. Not enough time on it anymore. work and living away from it. Perhaps its time. to hand someone to take the leash of the beast. For my price its. very fair. I spent thousands of hours working on this Z. investing. planning. blood. sweat and tears. For $8500. thats just me paying most of the parts that is on her right now. basically the clean title modfied Z chassis. my years of labor and additonal parts are basically free within the purchase. Think of how much she would be worth completed. Last year when I was driving her. I was getting 30mpg if I kept off the gas pedal. and I was daily driving her. When I hammer pedal to metal. boy better make sure your seat belt is on tight. So what does it take to get her on the streets? Here's the basic list. -Hook up remaining fuel lines. fuel pump to fuel cell with a filter. Included -Hook up standalone 3 wire motor wiring to ignition and hook up chassis wiring. I have the wiring book to do everything. Everything is straight forward and easy. -Hook up cooling system. radiator hoses and clamps -Brakes need new hard lines. since its an dual master cylinder pedal box. OEM routings different from original. its included with the car anyways. -Hook up clutch an lines. included -Hook up throttle cable. included -Front steering knuckles need to be hooked up. included -put gear oil into differential. add coolant. brake fluid. and gas -4 wheel alignment Doesn't take much to get her driving again. The next step is all the fun personalization cosmetic stuff. bodywork. paint. interior gauges. etc Have any question? Feel free to ask. After purchase to new owner. I volunteer walk through. information. work log history mechanical advice/assistance via email. all I ask is for photos and updates on the Z new future. |
