BR3NNAN Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 whats up guys. Just wanted to show off my new 76 z i picked up a few weeks ago. The body is in better condition then my 77 and this one runs like a dream. My friend who works at a body shop is gonna hook me up with the body work and paint, so it should be really clean soon. Ill post some after pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4xwellmurd3r Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I KNEW that Z looked familiar haha. another member forum was looking at buying that one a few weeks back. Looks like you jumped him and got it first! So how's the rust look on it? rails in good shape? I was curious to see what kind of shape it was in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR3NNAN Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 yeah i guess so lol. I found this on cars.com. i called the dude(john, good guy) and looked at the car the next day and bought it lol. the rust really isn't bad at all. theirs just one spot on the drivers side fender. the rails are in good shape. it had an undercoating applied to it years ago that saved it. I think the worst parts are the drivers side floor pan is kinda rigged fixed with messy fiberglass and the spare tire area has some holes in it. but besides that it's a good car.

BR3NNAN Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 So i got my car back from the shop =D after going all over my city, i couldn't find any shops that would even take a look at my car. The only places that would even consider looking at my car quoted me 5,000 to 8,000 minimum. So i finally found this little mom and pop shop that did all my body work and painted it for 1500! So keep that in mind when i put up pics. I think it came out great for the price i paid. pics soon to come =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest freakozs Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 What's up, Brennan? This is John, the guy that sold you the Z. I had to come check up on it and see that you got it painted. I can't wait to see pics of it. I miss it already, but I'm drooling over Ducati motorcycles right now to replace it, haha. And I was the one responsible for the "messy fiberglass job", haha, but I did much better on the passenger side. Glad to here it's still running good! Catch ya later!

Guest freakozs Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Man, for $1500, if it looks good from 10 feet, you got a steal. I wouldn't sweat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
