Think you guys might enjoy my little project.

It's been a 3 long years to get where I am now, so I thought you guys would enjoy it. Oh and I'm 16 :D
Sorry for the gigantic pictures

First day home

The Very next day I started tearing out the interior to clean up the surface rust it had.

And then the car sat as school started again for me. So fast foward about 5 months, I started sanding the car down because having 4 different colors on the car was bothering me.

Rattle canned it black temporarily

After that I started working on figuring out all the electrical problems I had, amazingly the car still was drive able. No pictures of that part of work, it was too frustrating when I was trying to trace all of the previous owners wiring.

Well after 3 months of tinkering with the wiring I finally gave up after getting my dash lights to work. So she sat there again for I don't know how long. I think probably a year and half.

December 21st, my dads friend finally had room inside the shop for us to have our car there and work on it. He also did the painting and bodywork for us.

The car sat in his shop for about 2 months while he was finishing up a couple other projects, and I was still in school. February came, and we finally started working on the car again.

Tear down:

Ok.....I think that's a long of enough of a post and a break from my homework for me haha.

But I'll leave a picture of how the car looks right now.

That's awesome man! What a transformation, looks great! :tup:

Thanks, it's all torn apart right now too, wire tucked bay coming up soon :D
Still saving for a 2jz swap.

Oh and I forgot one more thing.
Vin #HLS30-1680
Built in February of 1970 :D

Came back in to stare again :yum:

I can't compare to Doc's build though haha.

I'm distracted by this forum too much.

Whaaaaat? That final picture came out of nowhere! Can't believe that's the same car! It looks great, nice job.

Well Done! I expect great things in your automotive future!

Thanks! Now somebody needs to hire this 16 year old so I can start doing a bit more to it. haha

come to vegas and I'll hire you to do my 280z and 300zx. LOL. Nice car man, someday I'll get mine done.

Great project and awesome job :tup:

:tup:

What an awesome project! The car is amazing!

Sick. Good job man. Keep it up.

Thanks guys, my new seats just arrived. Will be putting them in soon.

Wow: pretty amazing you transformed the car into the clean classic it is now.

Labor of Love, no doubt . . . very cool.

damn.... I wish I had the skillset to do something like that.

Everybody does, it just takes a lot of patience. I'm not even that talented actually haha I had a lot of help.

Great build!

Just dont put a 2JZ in it, keep it nissan. The L28ET is a great turbo motor and can make decent power with few mods.

DAN

Nice job the cars beautiful!

I had a 240 back in the day and it looked nothing like this one. Nice job!!

I was actually considering a 2jz haha. I wish I had a L28ET right now it's a N42 block with a P79 head.

Very impressive! I like the idea of putting all hat work to basically build your first car.

Woops I keep forgetting to update all my threads lol. Well...the car is back in the shop again, this time to wire tuck the bay and some minor "surgery".
