Before and almost after...

Still have work to do like chroming bumpers, new seat covers and cushions, exhaust and rear suspension but it is coming along.

Here are some before and after pics.

I'm going for a ride, talk to you later.

John: very nice work, a ride in very much in order.

[JohnnyO]

Couldn't have done it right without your help. Thanks again.

Proof that all the hard work is worth it! Very well done!

I'm jealous of that super clean engine and bay!

WOW! Looks great John. I was waiting to see pics after you got it back on the road. That should do it for another 40 yrs at least.

That's what I call a fundamental transformation. Nice job bringing that car back to where it belongs.

Awesome job bud! Looking very sweet.

Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment. It was actually taken this morning 8/29/10 at the river in my hometown. I think the sun was coming over the trees behind me and gave it that aged look.

If you show up tomorrow you'll get to see it in person. Not as nice in person but it is clean.

Yeah, I know. I've been driving it for about a month, figured it was time to start posting some pictures. I've been a little MIA lately. I'm sure others know what I mean. Hard to sit on the couch when you could be driving the Z.

Thanks Gary. Nice to hear other Z owners comments.

Awesome job bud! Looking very sweet.

Thanks Joey. That radio looks nice. Just need to get the wiring figured out. Working on that now.

Keep the comments coming. Kind of eating it up right now.

Thanks Ron. If not for this site and people like you I would be at least 6 months behind where I am now.

I'd like to make it tomorrow. I need to put my Z33 back together today. Exhaust work owns me. I might even take the Z to work and be prepared to drive north to Roseville from Bloomington.
