Yes I got tired of letting my car sit under a tarp
I rented some workshop space and got the Z pushed over there. It's time to get some work done.

UPDATE ON THINGS
So after a summer from hell here in Texas not much progress on the Z was made. However it gave me time to do more reading, as it never hurts to know more. I also been picking up some part here and there that I need for it.
I threw setting a deadline for it out the window. I just feel that you can't rush this kind of project. Even if it takes years it'll be done right.

REAR FLARES
Had a little time to work on the Z today so I got the rear flares mounted where they need to be. Now I can take them off cut the quarters and weld the seam.

THE PERFECT WHEEL SIZE
Everyone has their own opinion of what they feel is the proper "fitment" when in comes to wheels and tire sizes. I ,like everyone else, have my own unique taste when it comes to what I think looks right and on what platforms it looks right on.
I have been discussing with other Z owners as to what they feel is the best size wheels and tires on a zg flared z. Also digging up old information of Z cars built in Japan through out the decades. All in preparation to having a set of SSR's widened to my specs.
Running into this picture of KnightoftheRound's car on HybridZ along with his specs have been a real milestone in figuring sizes out.
Wheels look so perfect at those sizes.

FRONT FLARES
The drought here in San Antonio finally came to an end as we started getting some much need rain lately. The cooler temperatures feel amazing and allowed me to get some things done on the Z.
Picked up the hardware I needed and got the front flares mounted. The button head socket screws look factory installed and worked really well. Still need to pick up some rubber welting to use between the flare and fender, this will hopefully fill the minor gaps.
Took me a while to get the placement right. I think I looked through dozens of pictures for reference, but I'm pretty happy with how they sit. Once I had them both mounted however they didn't seem even. After scratching my head for a while I realize that the left flare was longer than the right near the front. So they are positioned right, but I'll have to trim some off the left flare to even out things.
