Passenger Side floor install which was supposed to be easier then the drivers side, but it also had damage I had forgotten about.

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)

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 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.

240z Floor Prep
Prep work continues on the floor area. You can see my attempt in picture 5 to restore some of the original rail. I am not sure if I am going to cut it out or not, but at least it makes good practice for a rookie welder.
