The original reason I bought this car is because I kept seeing more and more Z32's (my previous). I hope that doesn't happen again

what size are the original wheels? and you better not forget about the hachiroku. And its true about those bumpers. I remember my friend took off his stock bumpers on his hachi and his car felt so much faster. Crazy how heavy those things are

The oem wheels are 14x6.5 i think.
Haven't forgot about the 86. Once I get the suspension and body straight on the Z I will be back to the 86. I need to get that thing on the track.

Early update! Ok well I got anxious this week and couldn't wait til the weekend. Got the ZG fender mirrors on and finally finished cutting the front fenders and getting the ZG flares mounted. I still need to find some fender welting to finish the flares, but that will have to wait until I can find some. Any ideas?
Mirrors weren't that hard, but wish I had another set of hands. Had to balance the mirror on my forehead cause I needed two hands under the fender. lol
Now have to mount the new bumper and align it, as well as align the grill a little bit.







Now onto shaving the ass: Filled the two large holes, but as you can see, lots more work to do.

Would like to see more of those two RX-7s sitting in the back. Project cars too?

Also imported from Japan by Eiji. OEM JDM ZG Mirrors. Not sure of where he got them though...
