Rev Project 2 - SOLD!
« on: February 13, 2009, 06:15:40 PM »
Thought I'd better get the next project up and going....this replaced another 2+2 project that was 80% done as that went to a new home this week to be finished off by a mate of mine who has just entered the world of zeds!

As some of you know this was one of those amazing finds that I thought everyone else found! but nevertheless by keeping a vigilant eye out I came across this beauty which is one of the cleanest Zed's i've seen.  I bought it minus the motor and trans and now the fun begins.  I have a reco L26 that will go in with 240 SU's, reupholstered interior, nice wheels and lowered and will probably become my daily....time will tell.

Anyhow today I stripped most of the engine bay and found no surprises (great ;D) went in and primed, black laquered up to the rails and then layed down color (Nissan classic white)...I love the clean look of a white car!  hopefully Motor in soon and then the fun begins with hooking it all up as I've never done the engine side of things before!

I was fortunate enough to see another Zed brothers Ebay parts update in Sth Aussie which put me onto these nice 15X8 Sportsmax wheels which will look nice tucked under the new beast.

Not many people know this, but the reason Rev gets so much done is because he doesn't sleep ;D

It's looking good Bro - keep it up!

I'm using the L26 from my previous project, the motor was reco apparently 12 years ago, driven 300km and that's where it sat until I got it 2 years ago...I have had it running and it seemed to run OK but I guess time will tell. It has an auto trans with it however I am playing with the idea of doing another manual conversion and I have been offered a 280zx box for $200, I've got everything else, pedals etc...I have to make up my mind if it's gonna be a daily or not, that may make the decision in regard to transmission.

Well Dave, if you do go the auto way, please feel free to throw the manual brake and clutch pedals through my windscreen anytime! I'm looking everywhere for some!

I did have the thought a few months ago that it may be possible to cut the sides of an auto brake pedal off to use it as a manual pedal...  had a quick look at the one laying around, but can't remember if it was actually feasible or not, and don't still have the bits lying around.
