![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF3092.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF3092.jpg) Interior getting slowly but surely down to stripped so I can cut the floorboards out and finish rewiring for defi’s and new HVAC controls. ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF3095.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF3095.jpg) Something I’ve been struggling with for weeks, the car has ANCIENT wheel locks on it, and I have no key. I think I’m going to end up welding nuts onto them and taking them off that way, but I figured I’d post an image and see if anyone knew what it was, or had a better idea. ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF3097.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF3097.jpg) Hilarious “playboy” decals in the 1/4 windows. There is also one for the alarm, one for the alpine head unit and one for the CA911 foundation from like 1982. ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF3098.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF3098.jpg) Much better! Have to remove the stock hvac and then I’ll be ready to start cutting the floors out. ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF3100.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF3100.jpg) Engine bay almost completely stripped. Almost ready to get sandblasted (any local recommendations?) ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF3102.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF3102.jpg) Overview, also test mounted the carbon flares, they look awesome, hoping to get those on the car sometime in the next week as the welting kits from Austin (240hoke) came in. ![http://www3.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/958cd58cf472c8c7c81c06e046be28365g.jpg](http://www3.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/958cd58cf472c8c7c81c06e046be28365g.jpg) Bought a '95 KA24DE motorset, 100k miles, uncut harness, trans, etc, etc. Picking that up Sunday and using parts from Bings.ca for KA-T. That’s all for now 🙂 ---

I still would prefer to do a VQ, but this is an easy cheaper option for now (cheap, yes, but VQ’s are CHEAP too.) The VQ isnt shoehorned in, it EASILY fits and sits completely behind the strut towers. ![http://www.vq240z.com-a.googlepages.com/vq35de032Medium.jpg/vq35de032Medium-custom;size:610,458.jpg](http://www.vq240z.com-a.googlepages.com/vq35de032Medium.jpg/vq35de032Medium-custom;size:610,458.jpg) ---

i agree the torq and weight distribution with the vq would be nasty. but the ka-t is neat too. with those carbon fender flares on lambo green = sick. nice project i love late 70’s-mid 80’s they have so much character. good luck with the project hope to maybe see it at some shows or rippin up the highway this summer.😃 ---
