Keep on rocking! Kudos for tackling this and not turning her into a parts car. It's easy to get overwhelmed when there is rust to repair in many places, the best approach I've found is to focus on one area at a time, and don't pay attention to how long it's been since you drove it last. The payoff is worth it! Jay |

The payoff is worth it! Jay I'd never make 777 into a parts car unless she was completely totaled. And yes I agree small steps make it easier to get done. Last time I drove it was late summer but I did start it up and let it get up to temp about 2 weeks ago. Started right up with minimal cranking. |

OK it's been a while since working on 777. I did the clutch in my WRX and it was time-consuming. Anyway I got a new set of inner rockers and tie-ins from Brent over at Prospect-D. Seems he's taking a break from fabrications to work on his own Z. I can't believe the high quality of his parts for being done by a guy with a regular job. https://www.prospect-d.com/shop I also got one Tabco inner wheel well cheap on fleabay but still need the other. I got the rear outer arches from Klokkerholm. they were cheaper that the Tabco units. http://www.klokkerholmusa.com/70-78-rea ... ivers-side While the thing's apart I may as well do the floors too so I'm getting Zed floors from Charlie. I haven't decided whether to get his rails or BadDog's Any suggestions? |

Sorry for the lack of updates but unfortunately 777 has been sitting in the garage patiently waiting. I’m back on the job though. I did post a progress report as noted. Frank yes I’ve been riding my CB and am working on the CL also. |

So many classic vehicles. So little time. |

Thanks guys! I followed the link and read up. I remember going through this in the late nineties with my 260z. Allot of work but it's a good feeling saving them from rotting away. Keep at it, one repair at a time. Enjoy those motorcycles as well, the weather has been really good for riding lately...... Here in PA anyway. Jay |
