z24 body kit install question, same as 3rd gen?
Saturday, October 08, 2005 10:18 AM
I am picking up a Z24 kit for my 93 for 150$ on monday and need to know if it installs like the 3rd gen kits. Just two bolts on each side on the front bumper and push pins, and then the sides I can figure out, and the rear just has the 4 bolts in the trunk, and then the 4 bolts in the fender wells?

Let me know

Thanks
Chris

Yes. The sides have some additional brackets that aren't found on the base/RS models, but I know plenty of people who have gotten away without using them. THe honeycomb may need to be modified also.

As long as the Z24 kit you are getting is from the same phase as yours (91-94) it should go on very easily. The front is a direct swap, in the back you are going to need to get teh Z24 inner bumper or trim the base model honey comb for it to fit. the z24 and base models used a different inner support with the Z24 having shock absorbers where the RS/base just have a metal bar bolted directly to the body.
the door skins are the most difficult thing to swap, they have about 6 or 7 white clips riveted to the door to hold the top of the skins on, but i have heard of people just using some trim glue to hold them on, which you can buy at any auto store.
Its probably better to use the glue anyway beacuse the rivets through the door are known to cause rust.
