Well since my car is the one that sparked the thread here is another picture from the drivers side door looking in to the interior. The only damage to myself was a scratch on my hip from the seat belt and I stepped on a piece of glass when I got out of the car. The only body part on the car that wasn't damaged was the inspection panel on the passenger side and the hatch came out unscathed... the hatch is now on my 78 Z as sort of memento. Kevin

i was going around 50... maybe a little more... bald tires and rain.... got sideways and hit a metal light pole.... I walked away from it without a scratch, but if there was a passenger they wouldn't have legs anymore. Now back to more people posting before and after pictures that aren't so gruesome. Kevin

thats exactly right.... this is the second Z i got frrom All Z... the first car has a slightly different before and after pics... BEFORE AFTER

BEFORE AFTER I wish i had a better "after" pic.... but the car hasn't been out of the garage yet Kevin

i have had the car for 3 years and it hasn't seen the road yet... its been an on and off project while i have been at college. the funds are low so progress is slow. the motor is really the only thing keeping it from being road worthy. Kevin

small world.... my friend actually is the one who did that body work... not his car though.... the fog lights were removed and turned into brake ducts on the air dam. the rears were planned on being ducted to the brakes but the car was wrecked in to a pole 2 months after it was finished and cause $16,000 in damages. Last i heard the guy bought it back from his insurance and had plans on turning it into a full track car but i don;t know if that panned out or not. This work was actually done at my old high school.

I live in Plano. Its got great schools if/when you decide to have kids. Housing is definately cheaper here than in california. 200-300k will buy you a damn decent size house like was said earlier in the the thread, but I don't know what size house you are looking at. As far as things to do, there is plenty to do in plano and dallas is only 15-20 minutes up the road as well. It really is a nice city. Frisco and Allen are nearby as well and and are equally nice but still in the growing stages. Let me know if have any questions. Kevin

I had similar dumb people in my auto body class back in high school. I had one guy claim he had a 280zx turbo, little did he know I was in to Z cars. He starts talking about it and pointing at his emblems he obviously got from a junkyard from some random cars..... i ask him to pop the hood and he points at his "turbo." I just sat there and started laughing...... he was pointing at the plastic injector cooling fan. i just told him to stop talking and go sit in the corner. another time someone brought in a lt1 camaro with a pretty stout set up that he was getting painted. my friend.... im almost ashamed to cal him that..... asks him what all is done to the camaro. The guy that brought in the camaro clearly has everything he is talking about. he starts by saying its a 383 with ported intake, cam, heads, etc., and the car is loud as sin. not to mention he also has a supercharger that he was waiting to plumb that was mounted in the engine bay but not quite hooked up. my friend isnt the brightest crayon in the box and asks the guy "so its stock." he was dead serious and the camaro guy just walked off. we still give him crap for that one. luckily he has learned a little more about cars since that moment.
