What's up guys, long time no me Since I've sold my S2K a lot of things happened in my life. All in all it all came down to my next project. I wanted another S2000 but as a car fanatic I was tempted to try something else. And here's what happened - I bought an S30Z. Here's the beginning of the build:

My S just to remind some ppl why I'm here:


My Z when I bough her:






It didn't look that bad but after I stripped it appeared to be a rust bucket. Also only it's 3 cylinders were working and there were issues with the suspension as well...

The project:


The process:














And after the body work and paint:

For now there is a 2.8 block and a 5 speed gearbox. Also a racing centrifugal clutch, lightened flywheel and some other stuff. I love the sound of l28. I don't know if I'll change the engine any time soon. The car will be all-vintage themed.

Your car's awesome - one of the very first 240z's. I know how hard it is to gather all the parts. I live in Europe where those cars were sold in very small numbers and i have to order everything in the USA. Then there's all kinds of fees I need to pay... anyway - good luck on your project too!
