my first 240-z
LOOKS GOOD FROM HERE, THANKFULLY YOU CANT SEE ALL THE SCRATCHES AND DENTS THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNERS WIFE PUT ON THE CAR WHEN HE TOLD HER HE WAS DEVORCING HER. SHE WAS'NT HAPPY AND THE CAR GOT THE WORST OF IT, WHAT A BITCH. SO HE SOLD IT TO ME CHEAP TO GET IT AWAY FROM HER. PAID $2800 FOR THE Z AND HAD IT APPRAISED FOR $13,000 EVEN W/ ALL THE DAMAGE. LUCKY ME!

still not done
thanks.... so far there is (magna braid) stainless hose braiding kit, every piece of polished aluminum was done by me on a 6" buffing wheel, the paint is (Dupli-Color) "intense blue pearl, the s/u's are pure stock with the top cover that you see polished by me, the red in the back ground is color code 905? cherry red. the car is a 1970 (8/70) 240Z, HLS30-08077, stage 2 cam from motorsport auto, (sounds lopy and bad-arse) especially w/ the 6-into-1 header, 2 1/2" pipe going through a flowmaster muffler, more pics to come, you just gotta look around
