peter's new ZHP project: Project Estoril

[anandoc]

Nice work! I need to get my RTABs done...eventually

[slater]

ordered about $1300 worth of parts today. the worst part is... that's about 1/3 of what i'm going to put into this car. dang.

List of said parts ?

[Vas]

Yeah spill the beans

[slater]

ha. you guys!!

short list of stuff i'm doing:

- cooling system refresh + belts
- brakes + front lines
- gaskets (VCG + OFHG)
- filters
- fluid changes
- intake boots
- misc plastic bits
- new rear window gaskets ($70/each, dang)
- new wiper cowl
- headlight lenses (expensive for a coupe - you basically need new housings)
- FCABs
- RTABs
- front swaybar endlinks (installed)
- new shift knob
- coby-wrapped wheel (need to get this sent out)
- A/C purge and re-fill
- etc...!!

i'm going to have the windshield replaced and the front bumper resprayed as well. that's going to be $900 right there... and it needs tires. it's getting a set of michelin pilot super sports.

it all adds up. if you do some math with that list you'll get an idea of how much.

yep. it will be a 100% sorted and turn-key ZHP when i'm done. mostly stock - there are a few little upgrades - where necessary (FCABs, RTABs and aluminum water pump pulley ).

That Estoril Blue Coupe ZHP will be incredible when you're done sorting it all out. Love going thru this project thread Peter!

I leave the country for a few days and you go and buy this magnificent thing? I hate you (note really)

Well...maybe a little

It is gorgeous. I demand more pics! Lots more, in various states of undress (being repaired).
