Hardway Posted January 14, 2016 Share #400 Posted January 14, 2016 I picked this up a few months ago but have not had time to do anything to it. Its a 1998 Honda Passport/Isuzu Rodeo. Got it for $500 from my new neighbor. It needs a battery, alternator, tires, and a good cleaning. Has 179K miles but short of being tapped on the front bumper cover it is in pretty good shape. The lease is up on my FR-S in Feb. 2017 so my plan is to get this up to scratch and drive it, having it becoming my daily driver when the FR-S goes away.

Two projects at once is all I can handle, with my money or time. Everyone kept saying the Z was a "poor man's corvette". I thought I would check out a vette for once. It's definitely faster but it feels more like a muscle car than a sports car. The Z is my favorite and much more fun to drive. It also doesn't drink as much fuel, so I can enjoy it more. I'll be selling the Corvette as soon as I get done getting it cherry. I want to get another Z to replace it. Possibly a 350 or 370Z. Yeah.. I agree with you. I feel the same with the Mustang I have. But I love both. A V8 doesn't belong in a Z.. What year is the c3 ? Late 70's..early 80's model ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it's nice they put a glove box in the later years and better seats, etc. They made them more of a daily driver than a race car, which is good unless you plan on not driving it regularly.

Mark Maras Posted January 19, 2016 Share #407 Posted January 19, 2016 Nice job. I like the color. It looks similar to the old VW bug color, polar blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedyone_kenobi Posted January 22, 2016 Share #408 Posted January 22, 2016 That is brilliant. There is a chap here a NASA I work with that restores these things. People who restore tools used to create other things are very dear to my heart. What a wonderful undertaking. I did just add this to my garage. Sold my WRX and moved up to an 'adult' car 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
