Hey guys, my names Rudi, hailing from Sydney Australia, and for the longest time I've wanted a S30z,
Unfortunately, i kept buying Silvia's, but at my 4th, i decided, enough is enough, its time to buy a Zed as a project!
So my story to find the right car started about 3 years ago with a small budget. And as you can imagine, all the ones i had seen were in a pretty poor condition. I was starting to loose hope in finding a good car when i stumbled upon a barn on the outskirts of Sydney where a guy had about 6 zeds for sale, and i picked up the best of them.
It had a fresh paint job, but she was far from good, it was a bog and flog job. It had Crows feet all through the paint, and it needed to be stripped back to bare metal.
So i low balled him, and to my surprise, he said yes!
I drove the car around for 6 months, fixing small issues here and there. In the back of my mind, i was postponing the inevitable, so i bit the bullet and started the tear down.
I decided to do the build as a Video Series, pretty amateur, but any feedback is welcome and much appreciated!
Rudi.
