Good luck with the project, looks like its going to take some time, but its going to be worth the wait! My friend has a 350 and they are great cars with an amazing exhaust note!

I really like the look of the old 70's Z cars, and am getting tempted to buy one as a project, but as with most classics, most of them are pretty much corroded away by now frown.gif!

yeah, when i get a few things up and going I want to get an old 240/280z and re-do that... I just love them

Dude that's AWESOME that you got it!!!!! My vette is coming along nicely, so if you're not done within the next 2-3 weeks I'll gladly swing through on my way home and wrench for a night.

Always welcome here man. Bring the wife and bathing suits and we can keep the girls happy by lettin them lay by the pool all day or whatever.... And I better get to attempt to drive that beast of a vette!

wow haven't been on here in a while.

Dude I wish I knew about this sooner , I just finished parting out my '06Z

I'm getting out of it because of a oil consumption issue. Getting myself into a bmw 335i.

anyways check out my350z.com and 350zmotoring.com they might be able to help you out.

Also pm me if you need any help with the Z

ahh ****... are u serious? I woulda killed for ur headlights! I want a set of 06+ lights so bad. I'm on my350z.com and i'll have to check out the other website. I did get another Z if u look at the pics that has a good front so basically I'm to the point where I'll most likely need to simply get some time to swap a lot of stuff over, sell the longblock, a fender, hood, front bumper, side skirts, air bags, auto tranny and then most likely buy new door panels (messed up from the flames) and new door panel/kickplate things and I'm good to go. I just really need that free time to do all that stuff! If you do manage to come across a decently prices set of 06+ HID lights, let me know though!

That cut harness looks like a headache

I used to drive my ex-gf's 350Z all the time. Their amazing cars! You can get them sideways and they correct themselfves. Simply great cars.

Harness shouldn't be bad at all... esp since i'm just planning on swapping them out one for the other... well that is atleast the plan

update time:
Well between being sick and working 70 hour weeks... I haven't had much time at all to work. But tonight I finally got a few hours to work. And got the fenders, side skirts, splash guards, front bumper, headlights, and windshield wiper components all removed.
The wiring issues are still a big deal. Seeing as though the silver Z has the upgraded VDC system which is a lot more complicated than the standard TCS on the Red Z, it's made me look into a new wiring harness. That and the large harness that was cut still hasn't been replaced because it's not 100% that it's a direct replacement.
I will be transferring brackets and so forth tomorrow and then on wednesday test fit the body kit before I take everything to the shop.
Wish me luck? lol
