More specifically its a early 74 260z and I bought it about 8 years ago. I drove it for one summer and a bit of fall til the drivers floor pan went Fred Flintstone on me. After a bit of searching around the car for more I got a lot of rust problems. Mechanically the car was fine just the body had issues. So that winter I took it apart and put the 'bits' in boxes in my moms basement and took the car to a shop and worked on it there for a while scraping all the gunk off it and what not. I had extra cash back then so i bought pretty much all the body panels i could get my hands on, all the usual suspects. And there it sat.
Fast forward to today, I now have 3 kids a morgage a minivan and a lot less free cash on my hands. But I have decided to take up my hobby again and get this car back in shape. I have always browsed this site and cant wait to keep you all up to date.
