i did notcie that at the show. i figured something like that happened because i had remember seeing ur car in ur signture. its ok thou. at least ur car didnt look like mine at the show. u probobly saw it. try to remember the ugliest one there with a white primer haha. that would be me!

theres mine haha. taling about the white pile of trash in the bg. i had to say mine was the worsed one there. but then again i didnt see anyone with a z car my age there. plus everyone has to start somewhere right?

keep us updated on ur progress.

how much were they and where did u get them?

i think radar detectors are legal in california. someone know for sure? i got 3 sitting on my dash haha.

i just dont have the motavation to go on. money is being sucked by both zs. i think the best thing would be to only keep one. Most of the work is done so it would be good for someone else to take over who can weld.

alright ive decided what im going to do. I pretty much overwelmed and i dont want to go on. i have most of the replacment panels for it. Heres what im going to do. Someone make me an offer on the shell. i have rust free fenders, the rear hatch replacment, that im offering too. I have the orignal matching numbers engine and suspension stuff. Someone make me an offer or its going on ebay. its a good place to start for someone who knows how to weld. btw i also have a new old stock dash. (this is not a restored one its a BRAND NEW FACTORY orignal for a 240z). i got pics so someone make me an offer on that too.

what do the VB flairs looks like? got a pic?

post pics when they are in!!!!

i really like the idea of flaring out the fenders honestly. does anyone have any pics of VB steel flares? how much are those anywho? as far as metal working tools i have none. i want to learn to weld and stuff too. i can use this as an excuse to get more tools! any suggestions on that would be helpful as well. then i can go to harbor freight or something....

wow i dont know what to say.

any updates?

dont remind me haha. if i would have known there are zs in better shape i would have just gotten a new shell. of corse by the time i found z forums i had already started. if i hadent bought so many panels and sand blasted and all the other things that cost me money to do to the shell i would have scraped it and got another. live and learn i guess.

that make since. when u think about it it will cost more. btw i forgot to mention. the white one is my 280z. daily driver for now. its just a white primer on that one now. got to take it to paint soon. just dont know when.............

heres the deal. I started this project in december of 04 not really knowing much about zs. im in this car about 5-6 thousand already in parts and other stuff. (bought an original dashboard in the factory box for $1500:shock:) im not gona write alot because the pictures will tell u more. my question is this thou. should a continue doing an all original restoration or go modified a little (bodykit, wing fender mirrors that stuff). basically me and my dad want to finish this project the cheapest way. Both 1/4 panels are gone. i got one side replacment and after sand blasting i see that i need the other side two. floor pans are gone (no suprise) and so is the rear hatch thing (also no suprise). we were thinking if we flare out the fenders it would be cheaper than buying replacments. (taking under consideration the labor involved). SO heres the pics. any comments, opinons, advice and judgments welcome.
