1978 280z:

I got this car for $500 back in 2005 when I was 14.

After awhile me and my dad pulled out the engine and rebuilt it.

I found a header at the local junkyard for $38

Then I got some enkei ek98's for free from a family member that had them just sitting in storage.

I started doing body work on the car and painted the car. I didnt like how the paint came out so I sanded it back down and started over.

I stopped working on the car for a year or two. Then last year I started working on it again.

I once again got the car ready for paint. My dad painted it in my garage.

I made a roof spolier.

Soon after I got adapters for my ek98's and started to polish and repaint them.

This is how it sits now after the suspension settled some more.

Thank you. Thats what I tell my friends that bought hondas and 240sx's that were already built by the previous owner's. :)

 

Nice! What kind of paint did you use?

That's exactly what it is :D.

 

That would be cool, I need to sort out some issues the car has though. I think my fuel relay went out :(
