Bitten by the Z bug again!

[troubledz]

Well after almost 4 years I have been bitten by the Z bug again... Just purchased a 72 beautiful little girl with butterscotch interior.. I bought it local (Ontario,Canada). It has been in storage since 1987 but looks like it had a hard few years before it was put away...Anyways can't wait to take her all apart and make her real pretty for my girl..

I'll post pics as soon as I get her home.

Cheers, Dean

Cute puppy.

lord I hope not. That's a lot of rust on the ground if so.

It is rust on the ground! Thats just from opening and closing the doors. The rockes are pretty rusty along with the lower quaters, But hey I will change all of the rusty area anyways. A winter project...

I'll document the whole resto.

Be careful when moving it. A local guy here moved one and it literally broke in half.

Hey all, after a lot of thought I came to the conclusion that "no matter how much lipstick you put on a pig it's still a pig" Unfortunately Rust has gotten the best of my project! This Z (1972). It will need way to much attention. To much metal fatigue for my liking. So with that I parted out this vehicle. It had great interior and a crack free dash and a great motor and tranny - I recouped some of my money to fund the next project.

Thanks,Dean

Here is the new project 1976 280z

Yeah looks really good. I know some people would say that you should have kept the original bumpers on her because now she looks like a 240 instead of a 280 but, you wont hear that from me!! I love the 240 bumpers! They hug the Z car body. I did the same with my 77 280. Enjoy, great job!
