S30-04858 revival

[Sfinnerty]

Well I’m back under a new name I guess . Been so long that the site didn’t recognize Madkaw !? 

Maybe I can get my name back .

Meanwhile I will try to document my latest project . 4858 came to me as an urgent -save the car before it gets towed - sale . I was actually at work driving trains . I saw the owner posting that he had to sell this car today , and have it moved or the landlord was going to have it towed off . No title or registration . 
I had seen the car previously when visiting the owner who also had a non running 280z sitting at an apartment parking lot . It looked pretty straight but it was a quick peek during a visit . Next thing I know it needs a new owner right now and a need to tow it by tomorrow . I had 830$ in my PayPal account that I offered to the owner and promised to arrange towing . I had no idea if I was making a good decision and didn’t know where I’d even put this car . I wasn’t even in town when I bought it . Lucky for me my son was dating a girl who’s dad owned a body shop with a big parking lot and let me store it there until I had a plan . 

As you can see from the pic my shop wasn’t even finished when I got this car . Thankfully these cars are small . This was 2017 - 1 year before surgery and retirement .

Can madkaw's user name be revived??

Wow……Driving trains. That’s something I never knew you did Madkaw. Don’t think you should have any problem getting that name back……no one else grabbed it. 😬

Who did you drive for? I had a good friend who drove for Amtrack before he retired a few years back.
