Well, first off thanks for taking time to stop and check out this page.
This is the 300ZX I bought. I picked it up dirt cheap. Of course like the saying goes "You get what you pay for". I am a firm believer in that. Well so the story goes, I was flipping through Autotrader and always having wanted to buy a Z32,but never being able to afford one I stumbled upon an ad that looked to good to be true. So I decided to check it out, and find out the nasty details. I went to the guys house and checked this car in and out. I had them start it. Now to my shock the guy had told me the car hadn't been started in over a year. yet it only took a couple of cranks and the beast started right up. He told me the in and outs of the history, but I wasn't to shocked. But this is what I got.

*1990 Nissan 300ZX
*3.0 litre naturally Aspirated
*5 Speed Manual
*Fully Loaded
*T-tops
*Leather
*Auto Climate control
*Bose Stereo System

The car has only a mere 120,000 miles on it, with a motor with 12,000 miles on it. The motor was rebuilt with a new block,new pistons,reground crank,remanufactured heads. new lifters,new clutch. Also were installed 2 new catalytic convertors. The gentlelman had receipts for all the work that was done,and after putting it up on a lift I could see that the block and the heads looked new. The cats also looked fairly new.

Now the downfalls:
*Bent control arm
*Bent tension rod bracket
*Damaged forward lower support
*Faded paint
*Lifter tap

All in all the car is in great shape. withe $1000-$1500 dollars worth of work it could be restored to original condition. OKAY,OKAY How much you say? All for the whopping price of $3400. Not bad.

Now for a couple of right now pictures. Keep tuned in, we are going to the body shop in a few weeks.

Here is a pic with the T's on and windows up and tinted 20%

Okay, finally got it painted. Not looking to shabby. I invested $427 dollars in to get it painted. The painted was shot by Earl Scheib with a 6 yr warranty. The coloris #313 Medium Saphire Blue for those of you interested.Here are some pics.

Thanks for voting on my last poll. As voted by majority. I am going to do exhaust for my first mod. I am either going to go with some Magnaflow Mufflers or Flowmaster. I am looking to get a nice deep muscle car tone.

Keep checking in for further updates.

 

This is both of my cars just washed.

Let me know what you guys think. Some critiscm welcome. Opinions gladly appreciated. Thanks for checkin out this site.

 

This is what I want the Car to look like when I am finished. Note the Strosek widebody rear Quarters, the molded in Strosek Front end. The Black Roof Area, the lowered Stance and the Custom Ram Air Nose Panel already in the works. Of course I want to get new wheels, I want to go with ADR C2 or something similar. I am thinking 18x8.5 for the front and 19x10 out back. Don't ask why the different Diameter Wheels. I have seen it on one other Z and I think it looks hot.

Man, that Z is really awesome, I've always loved Z cars and you did an awesome job on yours! Please come check out my 300ZX TT. It is bone stock in the pics but I have pics of all of the items that I already purchased for it on page 1. On page 2 is the next Stg that I want to accomplish later. Page 3 is the 1991 300ZX TT vehicle specs and stock Horsepower ratings and stuff. I would have installed everything but I am in the military and stuck overseas for awhile longer so no driving my Z yet. Enjoy and do you mind if I add you too my friends list? I look forward to hearing what you think about my Z.... Good luck with your Z.. Zya later
