Base to Z24 project
Monday, October 13, 2008 8:21 PM
Well Im in the process of yanking all the good parts of a donor 98 Z24 (blown up engine and bad body damage) to put onto my 97 base model. Thought Id show a couple progress pics. Forgot to take a complete before shot but its just a basic black base with gray bumpers and black 14" steel rims. Little body damage and some rust thats being taken care of while everything is getting switched over. This is the closest I have to a before shot.

Front end taken apart.


Bumper cover and fogs installed




And today I finally put on my painted Z24 rims that I just got done refinishing. I made a post in the wheel and tire section detailing the painting process.





Not even close to done but I'm making progress. Next I have to fit the side skirts and fix the rocker panel rust. After that i have to wire the fogs and then swap over the hood, left front fender, pull a dent of the passenger side and swap trunk lids with the spoiler. Then I tackle the interior. I'll update this post as the work progresses.

Heres a quick update with the hood and fenders swapped over and the car actually washed





Side moulding still needs to come off, rocker GFX still need to go on and some paint needs touchup but its coming along.

I dont know about the 2.4, I might just do something with the 2.2.
