I've been working on my favorite car ( The 240Z ) for a few years now. It's finally driveable. I knew nothing about working on cars when I started. Engine work, electric, body work, etc. I learned everything. I did probably 97, 98 % of the work myself. I never touched a spray gun before I painted this car. I painted it the same way and the same colors as the car I owned 50 years ago. I owned a 71 Z back then and this one is a 71. I'm trying to find out the vin no. of the one I owned before. The paint job turned out really nice. The whole car looks 100 times better in person. I still have all kinds of goodies to put on it. I still have some work to do to it, but I'll be doing that a lot in the future. Here's before and after pics. It made it so much easier to come onto this site when I had a problem and get answers to help. I couldn't have done it without you. I really mean that. Thank you.

Wow! You pulled that one back from beyond the edge!  Good job.

Triples too! Very nice build... Shocking before and after. Most motivational post I have seen!

 

GREAT STUFF!!!

A work of art! Ya think this one will keep up with your first one? ?

Back from the grave!  Good work Tim, love your front air dam, don't think I've ever seen that one before.

Not just "well done" but truly "VERY WELL DONE!".  Congratulations on a fantastic rescue and rebirth.

Thanks. My front airdam is from Lithuania. I hope to get a splitter for it. It's a rocket. Lightened fly wheel, aluminum driveshaft, 4 : 11 diff, 300ZX axles, on and on. I have red TTT horns for the triples I should of put on for the pic. The engine bay is wire tucked also. Battery behind passenger seat. Thank you.

Looks great. Tons of metal work! That makes a lot more cars look restoreable...
