Posted November 1, 200519 yr comment_144045 Isn't she beautiful. After a year and a half, my Z is back home. Now all I have to do is put her back together, that should take a couple of weeks (ha ha).

November 2, 200519 yr comment_144166 Two of the many greatest moments in owning a Z car. Getting it back from a fresh restore and driving it for the first time after that restore.

November 2, 200519 yr Author comment_144190 Thanks for all the kind words. The reason it took so long was not body work, but the shop belongs to a buddy of mine who gave me a deal. So he only got to it when he had extra time. Plus, I had the whole car media plasted with walnuts. The original orange (918) was burried underneath three different colors. I purchased the car from the original owner. He told me with every different girlfriend he changed the color of his Z. It had set for many years, the nice thing is that the engine is the original and all the parts were in really good shape and all there. Oh yeah, no rust, I apologize to everyone that doesn't live in California, I just lucked out on a great find. Rick.
