Here's a pic evolution of my '73 240z. Had it since 2012. Originally green, a recent paint and body has it looking great again. Check out the day I brought it home.

The engine pic off craigslist. It's got a 280z 5spd with dual SU carbs.

Some steel wheel orignals and a hood that fits...

Another wheel upgrade and as clean as I could get it.

Finally in for paint

Getting stripped down

2013 Nissan GT-R Red

Back in the garage with no dents, fresh paint, all chrome blacked out and some plastidip on the wheels.

Caffeine and Octane in Alpharetta

Still a lot more to do on the inside, brakes and engine. Very cool to be able to bring this one back to life.

And from the other side...

Awesome. Thanks Steve! Always like your "cartography."

Looks great, can you tell me about your wheels and tires?

Fiero! 

Love it! Where did you get the lower valance? I'm having a hard time finding a nice one like that.

Where did you get your paint/body work done?

That is a thing of pure beauty!

Just a few months lag in the reply....anyway

Wheels are a Rota RB in 15 x 7. They were originally in silver and I plastidippped them black. Tires are Kenda Kinnetica 215/60/15. Cheapo stuff that looks ok.

Paint and body came from Budget Auto Paint in Chamblee, GA. Happened to be worked on by a tech who also had a Z. Made me think he had a vested interest and experience

That's ugly- why would you paint it red and then black out the trim. It just don't make sense.

I bought the one for my 74 from Jegs. I think it improved handling at speed, but that's just the butt dyno talking.
