| This weekend business was finally gotten down to and the motor came out of my old chassis to drop into the clean and rust-free chassis that I picked up about a year ago. Unfortunately the Z project was put on the back burner for some time due to a variety of reasons, mainly no garage that is suitable for the work that needed to be done. I had already done a full charcoal suede interior swap in place of the grimy tan interior in the new chassis, all that was left was to swap the motor and IC piping over. 
Eric (spdrman15) was nice enough to offer to trailer both my cars out to his garage and help me do most of the work and use his tools in the luxurious Z day spa that is behind his new house. In exchange for his help and expertise I donated my old chassis to his upcoming project.
Last night- Eric, myself, Bryan (TTFairladyZ), Marc (Intel) and Mr. Kono got a fair amount of work done to both cars working until the wee hours of the morning.
Buzz kill of the night was finding dried oil around the lip of the turbine housing on my passenger turbo. Not much shaft play but Eric said it wasn't spinning as well as the driver's side. So I guess it might be time to look for a replacement automatic turbo (my car was a conversion). Pics or it didn't happen-

Hoping to have a running Z this spring, finally.
