Fairlady Trunk Build Log

[mikey060 10+ year member]

Well some of you may remembr me askng about this car before. anyhow he dropped it off earlier and i got right to work. first off i bought all the supplies i would need for now, then i started laying the tape on top of the deadening. Next i sprayed expanding foam over akward pieces so i can shape around them so there are no sharp corners.

i ****ing hate whoever owns that car. i had to settle for my rsx //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif was going to drive down to SC and pick up a beast of a 300zx, 409whp@17psi //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif , woulda cost too much to maintain and been a bit too impractical for me to own at this age..good luck though

this is kinda how it will be. the 12" type x will be angled forward by a few degrees. it will then extend downwards and curve towards the edges. kinda like a **** lol. then the part inside of the red line will be painted black or red. and the rest will be covered by a false floor which will most likely be black carpet. gives you a general idea atleast

yea i drove this around the block. it rides very nice but i dont like the shifter/clutch as much as the skylines. perhaps that is why the manuals are very rare for this car. anyhow it is fun to drive and i do like that it is is rwd. doesnt pull as hard as the awd gtr...but still goes like stink when you want it to. all in all, vey nice:fro:

lol a rsx isnt bad, its not like your driving a ford focus or dodge neon lol. throw a turbo into the rsx, the 300zx isnt all that anymore.

in terms of performance, not rarity, i would love to own a tt 300zx, but if i had the chance, 240Z FTW

yea they are sweet. anyhow, going back to the topic on hand, i have been workng on it all morning/afternoon from about 8 to 1:30. i started out by cutting the foam which had explanded and cured over night. it gave my a nice platform to build off of. i then taped over it all, and proceded to lay the aluminum foil and lay it down aswell. then i had to drive to the city to buy fiberglass matte and another gallon of resin. here are some pics

i just checked on it, and it is curing nicely. there are a few places with little air bubbles but nothing major. it will get another layer tonight, then ill let it cure over night.

I love 300zx's but I don't like the body kit (I don't like body kits on many cars, lip kits ftw)....that front bumper is a bit too ricer for me, but awesome car either way. I've not seen many RHD 300zx's. Look forward to seeing the build
