Look forward to seeing this progress.I had a similar ball ache with an old 1980 Toyota celica.Looked better than this metal wise but it will be well worth it.

This is going to be gorgeous when finished. Had had a car crush on the 240Z since I was about 7! Are you keeping it standard? Gentle Mods? Big Mods?

Drop a small-block Chevy V8 in it. You KNOW you WANT to!!  :evil:


Keeping schtum. Mostly.
