I still don't know what I want to do with this one. It has some serious cancer on the rails and floor board that I wasn't expecting. I bought her sight unseen and wish I didn't lol

I was thinking the same thing. Didn't you move overseas to Korea or something?

Thanks guys. I took a job in Trinidad and decided it wasn't for me. I'm back in Houston in the oil and gas market. This damn thing keeps sucking me back in.

You don't know if you don't try!

Okay give us a rough idea of what the plans are with this one...how big are you going? Your Sprevious Z was one of my favorite builds on here. I am a datsun and Z guy for life. My project is a 84 300zx....it was the last year with a datsun emblem on it. It said Datsun and Nissan.
