Thanks man, I need to replace the FT fender, hood, rear deck lid and rear body panel. The QTR's, doors, floor pans and rocker panels are good.

Yeah, I asked the guy I bought it from and he told me he used to go to trade shows of some sort and he towed a small trailer with it. Just shows us how BA these cars are. WE DON'T NEED NO TRUCKZ.

What do you mean you have 'nones'. What happened to your Z? Did I miss something?

The 76' I bought had a trailer hitch on it. The guy said he would tow a small trailer with his autocross stuff.

Nice find man. Crazy thing...it is almost identical to my '83 in every way. Minus the turbo part. Anyway same color (interior and exterior) with t-tops and digital dash with 5 speed. Trip man.

i ride a motorcycle, so i have about a 10% chance or less of seeing a car that can race and beat me, i like that. haha. once though i did pull into a gas station with my buddy my on the ninja him on his R6 and some dude was in a think a new charger? and had a exhaust on it and just get revving it like every 15 seconds cause it made some chick in the other car giggle, and since we were under the roof of the station i was like, eh, i think a nice 15000 RPM rev will do them some good (only a slip-on for my bike soon to get a removed cat and i will probably buy a motowerkz GP exhaust for weekend riding, look it up you'll see why it would be loud) and yeah, i did it. he shut the **** up fast. then as he rolled out passed buy stopped said, wow thats a really nice sounding bike, i kinda had to thank him at that point though i thought he was kind of a moron, on top of that, i think this guy might've been the same age as me or possible a few years older, and he was revving his motor at a gas station haha. oh and just on tuesday i had an STI try to race me on my bike at school. i was in first gear rolling out onto the main road infront of my school (which i know the cop hiding spots and also its a 4 lane road speed limit 50) so as he turns out to i hear the turbo start to spool as he turns sharper into the corner so is in the inner lane i just go, MEH goose it through first look back to see an STI about 200 feet back. im guessing he just quit after i hit it but whatever. i still taught him a lesson, and thats the closest thing i've done to racing in the past 4 years. and plan to keep it that way though. specially on the bike when on the road and with another car, people suck at driving to much to risk that haha.

I have posted any pics in a while... been uber busy with school, stuff around the house and lack of the fundz. I haven't had the time to do a whole lot to the Z. Since I am replacing some steering and suspension parts I thought I would go ahead and paint my cross member. Once I get all of that finish I she will be up and running.

I ain't no Pea-cos-oh, but I think it looks tons better.
