I actually Started the Z yesterday!
It hasn't been started since last August.

It has no hood, no windshield, no fenders, no front bumper, no rear bumper, no windshield, no interior, no tail lights and in some areas... NO PAINT!

But it runs like a champ!

Made me really want to go drive it.

I may throw it back together just to drive up to MSA.

It's gonna be UGLY if I do though

Dude that would be awesome if you could make the drive up to MSA. If you need help putting your Z back together, I'm down to help you out.

Hey Rod, glad to hear you got your Z started. But if I were you. I wouldn't just hurredly throw it back together just for the Z car show. But I am sure you are mainly playing around. lol

^^^ There's the reason why we have a GTR section now.

And ouch on the fender! That should be jail time right there. I dunno how you get all the hit & run accidents...

It's just a car.

It will get fixed.

The numb-nut who hit it probably soiled their trousers and will surely find out that Karma comes quick and with a vengeance.

Nice GTR!!! Shitty parking lot accident!!! I hope some kids sugar the tank of whoever did that to your GTR. They were probably jealous. Congrats on owning a Unicorn man!! Now just promise me you will drive it like you stole it! At least show up to a Wednesday night drag at your local track and open her up once in while and make everyone there jealous.

Very nice stable of Nissans you have there, my friend. Very nice indeed.
