Well hello gentlemen, I am agemeansnothing's sis in-law and when ian told me about this thread i had to make a comment...I dont know if Ian has mentioned in here before there is a huge lack of interest in Z's around here where we live... And it's sad to see some of the things ppl do.. I have a 71 240z that i was going to restore at first glance it seemed like a ground up restore which was fine because we are both taking auto body in college. But as we started checking into after we brought it home 4 of the pillars were rotting, the floor boards were made out of fiber-glass and bondo, major cancer all over, and the thing that made Rich and I cringe was when we looked in the engine compartment and saw that in a previous wreck the frame had crumpled and someone welded and metal plate to fix it... Then later in a second front end wreck it actual crumpled the frame again...( Second one was hitting a telephone poll) ... Sad to say she is now a parts car for the new one i just got...... As for IPO's I guess when you don't understand what you have at the time... You have no desire to take care of it.....
