Floor Install – III
Continued Floor Progress however I don’t think I am going to win any contests for making it look pretty…especially the L bracket near the peddle assemblies (was very hard to get in there to make a better looking weld)

Continued floor prep with now welded in Frame rails.

Floor Install – I
Early install pictures of the drivers side frame rails. Note that paint is stripped on both sides of the original rail and covered with a weldable primer. I am a rookie/self taught welder which is evident in the pictures. I did try and clean it up and ended up making it uglier (future pictures), but regardless the floor is not going anywhere.

Engine tear down II
Continued Images of the Engine tear down. Note that the cylinder walls look worse then they are…this is a result of the sharpness of the camera I am using…they did pass the fingernail test and were within specs. I have however decided to go with a .040 mm over since its apart anyway.

Engine Tear Down I
This engine was originally going into the 240Z…but it is over a year away before I will even be close to worrying about the engine. So it is going to go into my 280ZX..which will be going from NA to Turbo as the original electronics have been giving me a problems over the last 6 months.
This will be a complete tear down and rebuild…the original owner had some rather interesting methods to “fix” the engine.
