Imp558 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Posted April 18, 2018 Welcome neighbor! I'm right down the road in Erie PA. Here's a thread to help navigate the site while you find your way around: http://www.w-body.com/topic/56139-welcome-new-w-bodycom-members/ Quote
MemphisMan Posted April 19, 2018 Report Posted April 19, 2018 Welcome to the forum. That's a nice Z34 you got. Can't wait to see the progress on it. I've had my W-body for almost 8 years and learn something new everyday seems like. For example, I learned this week that a 5.3L V8 LS4 swap has been successfully completed on a 95 Cutlass Supreme.

GTP091 Posted April 22, 2018 Report Posted April 22, 2018 Nas, He hasn't picked it up yet. You can see it in this thread. http://www.w-body.com/topic/56421-5-speed-z34-on-cl/page-2 Harvey, a nice DA polish with a heavy cut and then a polish might get you through the summer before you paint as you go over the mechanical on it. The boot, bonnet, and deck lid look like they're toast in the pictures but you never know what's under that oxidation. I've seen worse than this get saved and end up looking great. If the paint is sun cracked then respray it is. - Read up on the o-ring leak, if it's oil wet that'll be your first job. The oring is definitely shrunk and brittle if its original. It's a very easy fix if you doit the W-body.com way. - Take the timing belt cover off and see how it looks. lots of things to check out. You'll have to make a restoration thread in the members section. Lots of members will be eager to see how you progress on the project, myself included. Quote
harveyj088 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Posted April 24, 2018 Thank you for the advice! I can't wait to go get it and get working on it. I don't know if I can wait until July which I'd the plan Nas Escobar 1 Quote
Nas Escobar Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 It's coming sooner than you think. We're in May now for all practical purposes. Quote
