My '75 Z
Shot of the original 77/78 280Z hubcaps I picked up with some 240Z seats. I'm going to sandblast the center and respray them in the original Argent, and polish up the edge.
Carpet is back in the rear hatch, and due for replacement. I recently resprayed the peice of my console that goes over my shifter, that you see there.
Woo.

Woo. Rusty exhaust FTW!
My '86 300ZX on jackstands.
With the tranny/clutch out.

Both of them are going to be daily drivers. The '75 has only slight frame rust, but the battery tray is absolutely gone. This will be fixed, thanks to my Autobody night classes. I did find an '85 NA with a turbo swap that was repo'd off some crackhead in town, if they will take 500 for it (no tranny) I'll snag it and build a nice turbo for the '86.
That is high!

Pretty tall jack, no?
Here's a shot of the 280 in the same position, with my finely toned white self next to it. This is from when she got brand new rotors to go with the new brake booster and master cylinder -
No, the Mustang is not restored, it is sitting on the sidelines for now. I first got it when I was 14 (almost 17 now) As soon as I can get the new gas tank in it, and theres an open spot at my Autobody classes, I'll be taking it there to work on. Same with the 280Z. I'll go scrounge up what few pics I have of the Stang.
Edit- Heres a picture of the Stang the first day I got it.
It came with a bunch of spare parts, new door panels, new clutch, and a bunch of other stuff for 3k. It is still pretty much in the same shape as here, but the old gas tank is out, with a new one ready to go in its place. I bought a used trunk at the Charlotte Auto Fair for 35 bucks, began to sand that down, still havnt finished it.
Another pic -
Thats a 289 2-barrel V8, mated to a 3 speed on the floor.
