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.

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...
