Kickstarting the 81 Z restro
Well after 10 years of sitting around, I finally can restart my 81 Z28 restoration. Projects completed to date are:
New front T Top roof section including A pillars
New passenger and driver side floors
Fully restored front subframe with PU bushings
Repaired/restored front fender sections
Replaced PS front lower QP
My current projects:
Replacing the PS and DS rear lower QP
Replacing the outer and inner rear roll pan
Replacing the DS front lower QP
Patching a few holes in the trunk area and under rear seat area
The plan is to have all the body work done this winter and have the car set to paint in the spring. Once the body work is done I am installing a for 9 inch with posi and disk breaks, with new, stiffer rear leaf springs. If anyone can recommend a rear end builder in the New England area( or Mass) I would appreciate it.
I will keep updating the project as I progress. Glad I found this forum, 10 years ago things like this did not exist.
