That was the original idea, but i've decided against it. The 300zx seats are comfortable, and fold forward better than the hatch seats, but i didnt want it to look pox (do we still use that work).

Hey Marc, Unfortunately thats all that there really is for photos, there are no panels done yet.

In terms of the interior, im using black plush carpet, black velour headlining, chamois seats. Im thinking that i will run black vinyl down the A B and C pillars, and along the tops of the doors, with chamois standard door cards or door cards off something else that i can mod with a chamois highlight.

Covers arrive in the next couple of days.

Ok so reviving the old thread. It’s been a very long project, lots of getting interested then losing interest. Now with engine and box done, some new wheels I’m starting to get motivated again.

One of my problems with having a project go so long is I’ve changed direction many times. The one that’s biting me at the moment is I changed from Turbo 350 to turbo 700 but my crossmember is to suit the turbo 350. Pretty sure I can just cut the crossmember spa wise brace and move it aft along the angles. Anyone able to confirm?

Nice work mate, welcome back!

If you're going to modify the crossmember you may as well modify it to suit a TKX manual...

lol, agreed. ITB V8's are absolutely the go, particularly with a third pedal.

 

Welcome back, Tom.

 

Wow, that has been a long time. Keen to see more progress!
