Project Zombie Z34

[Z34guy]

I figured I'll make an official thread about this since I'll probably be taking massive amounts of photos of it anyways.

Back in September, Some of you will recall, I posted about my 1995 LQ1 Monte Carlo mysteriously dieing on me. The problem turned out to be the crankshaft position sensor and timing belt tensioner, which in turn bent the valves. Whether I kept the car was in jeopardy as I got a 2004 Saturn Ion coupe to drive around in. After a while, I decided the car was too sentimental to part with and that I'd rebuild it. I just ordered a set of LQ1 heads (off a 1992 Lumina Z34) from Mat (GOT2B GM). This is the first purchase towards getting the car running again. I'll be using this thread to document the rebuild and resurrect this beast from the dead (hence the project name. lol).
For those that want pictures of the car:

Do you ever drive around pretending to talk on the car phone so people think you are a baller?

LOL. no. I can't get service on it any more due to it being an analog phone. I just keep it there for originality and bragging rights.

If I could make an old bag phone work in my TGP, I totally would install one. /92pettyedition

Im glad that you are fixing up the monte. I cant wait to see further progress

[Z34guy]

LOL> thanks everyone. They car-phone DID work when my mother originally bought it in 1999. That thing had service everywhere. Eventually the antenna in the rear window snapped on the highway and we gave up on it since everything switched to digital. That car-phone IS original.

Looking forward to seeing you make some progress on this car. I love white w-bodies with color matched wheels.

Yes, they're Lumina Tails. Got them as a gift from my ex-boyfriend when we were dating.
