So it's been almost two years since I started this project and now that it's painted and I felt it was done Murphy's Law stepped in to kick me in the junk... Put 100 miles on it since paint had to pull trans and cam two completely seperate problems found at same time, but I think she looks good...
. Wheels have been painted since pics but no pics until I can move the car outside.

 

looks really good i like the hood louvres alot! might steal your idea there hehe!

 

very nice, are the louvers functional?

 

Love the color!

 

 

Thanks for all the kind words, the color is Mazda's Black Cherry Mica, the louvers are the stock plastic louvers painted with a mix of gold and rootbeer pearls, sprayed over shelf liner to get the Carbon Fiber effect. Wheels are now a Gunmetalish silver color, and I still have to put the new emblems on.

 

any engine work done or underhood pics, looks very unique man you did a great job i like it alot.

 

Nice looking car man. Love the color!

 

Quite a bit of engine work lately just cammed the 350, mild Comp Cams High Energy cam, currently rebuilding the 700R4, pics of engine bay to come it has come a LOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG way.

 

Beautiful color choice! I love it.

 

That color is sweet

 

Looks real good, I've always been a fan of black cherry.

 

wow this page is wide .....but awsome job on the car looks amazing,
do you also have halos on the head lights ? i see you have the E36 conversion done.

 

I love that color.

I want to paint my IROC purple, and I may have found the kind I have been looking for!

 

Hey nice Z, Mines an 84 too..any chance on putting up a pic that shows the entire car with the front fascia? I was thinking about getting Iroc replicas, but want to know what the car will look like with them.

 

Yes I do have halo's, I bought the Option Racing kit from Ebay, They're really not that hard to install. And I will try to get a couple more pics up from different angles, it may take a couple days tho, the transmission it sitting on my garage floor, gonna try to finish rebuilding it today.

 

Very Nice!!!

 

Very nice, it's always good to see an 84 Z with the correct gfx!!! Great paint choice

 

Thanks, I couldn't bring myself to change the GFX, The only thing I wish was that I had lowered the car it seems to sit a bit high, but any lower and I'd hit every driveway instead of just the crazy ones. Maybe I'll try and make a set of GFX, that look identical to stock just longer...

 

Yeah, I know a lot of people like to lower these cars, but the 82-84 z at stock height looks more "musclecarish" to me. However, to each his own...

 

Any idea what the paint is actuallly called?

 

Let's see those pics this things sick
