Nice! :tup:

I guess a supercharged 370Z wasn't enough for you :icon17:

Love the supercharged Z, this is a completely different setup so will be a fun learning experience and driving experience.

That's beautiful bro :tup:

finally i get to see her! should be a great project.

about damn time!

wow! Congrats! That thing looks sick!

Thanks everyone.
Hoping not to have to do to much really, next couple of weeks will just be maintenance and repairing or replacing needed parts.

I see you are competing with the "No doors" Z

:icon18:
Well, one door panel is in the trunk...apparently that is all we have found so far. Though that is something easy to find and add since the US 240sx used the same door panels.

She is a beaut, Matt. Can't wait to see what you do to her!

I was thinking rainbows, headlight lashes and maybe gummy bears. :roflpuke2:

:icon18:

i want one :(

Surprised you haven't done the frost mod yet :icon17:

Very nice to have the drag queen. Would love to see what you do with it as it will help me with mine

congrats man! can't wait to see what you do with it

niceee

In for the project! Great pick up looks clean!

Sweet.

Matt, Great to see that you finally got it. :)

Have fun you earned it!! :tup:

Nice. :tup:

I am glad you finally got it... I know it was an ordeal. Looks like a real fun project. :driving:

MMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm:yum:

can I go for a ride?

What kind of ride you want? :stirthepot:

I know for a fact he wants a mustache ride.

Im down!

These things are a dime a dozen over here. So many skylines, rx7s, supras and what have you for a really cheap second hand car over in the states

thanks so kindly for your words of wisdom... :facepalm:

Congrats? They are rare here though, I know a handful of RHD (none chopped) S13/S14/S15 and R33 in the US.
Also, I did not buy this for the rarity or it being a dime a dozen, I bought it for a cheap fun project car to **** around with for awhile.

:tup: you my hero dawg!

I was trying to point out that the builds are quite creative. And since they're so common it's interesting to see the different mods they put on these cars that you rarely get to see back in the states. It's a great expierence to drive and toy with them when it's not so easy to stateside.

I see, I do not plan to do much more to this car other than fixing or repairing the car. But who knows what will happen in 6 months.

Well I like it, and I look forward to seeing the end result!

You are gonna have to let me check that one out Dreamer........at least when I get back to TX.

So this has been a long time update coming, life has gotten in the way but things are starting to line up. The car is up & running this past weekend, need to get the front bumper re-mounted back on the car and order a couple more parts but hoping to have this car home and driving by the end of the month.

Since the car sat for so many years we had to replace a few parts:
-Fuel pump
-Fuel tank
-Injectors
-Spark plugs

All of which (minus the fuel tank) I was planning to change out anyways, but having sat for so long the fuel system was not happy & need basically all new parts. Once those were all thrown in, the car started right up & could be driven around and we were able to get all fluids changed out (engine oil/transmission/etc).

Things to do still:
-Wheel & tires (tires are rotted)
-Mount front bumper
-Detail the car
-Order a few interior pieces missing

A quick teaser video of the car starting up:

Here are the most current photos of the car, some from the first day I picked her up.
