Talking guy from Louisiana with 97 z34

Hello
Never really done this before.
I am a 17 year old guy. I have a 97 Z34, its in pretty nice condition. Has 127k miles on her. I got the car less than a month ago, and loving every minute!
she's Originally from Michigan, so its a little rusty underneath, but the visible is pretty nice, aside from rust spot about 5 inches below the gas cover.
I will try to get some pictures up in a few days.
have ac problems but hoping to fix that myself soon, or take her in if i cant manage myself. Aside from ac everything works great!

Thanks guys!
I am going to wash her tomorrow and try to get some pics up in the afternoon.
she is white with black leather interior. Im not really sure on the package, but judging from the leather i would say its not the base model (?) has cd player and all that.
after posting the first post it started to rain, and i had left my windows down a little bit, she got rained on inside, hard, for maybe a minute . best way to dry?
anyone have a vacuum hose diagram?
the rims on the car (originals) have a yellow tint to them, whats the best way to clean this off? water doesn't work and im not sure if a wheel polisher will take off the white paint

Hey, welcome to the forum. I hope you are enjoying your Z34. They are definately a fun car to drive. As for your wheels, I use eagle one wheel cleaner that works pretty good. Spray it on and let it sit about 30 seconds then wash it off with soap and water. You have the white factory wheels Im guessing. The paint shouldnt come off with the cleaner. The silver paint didnt come off my stockers when I cleaned them. As for the A/C, are you having trouble keeping a charge in it. The main seal in the compressors tend to go and leak all the freon out. Mine is toast and will need replaced here soon too.
