Hi guys!

I have been missing for some time, but while I did so, I hunted down a car that I really wanted for some time, and i found it.
In the meantime, the '86 was painted and assembled, and it's now ready to roll. Here's some pics:





This is the final result, and the final shape of the car, i will not mod it further, because i really love the way she looks right now.







I must say, i am really in love with this little car, and i will keep her as my daily, though it doesn't look like one. But the suspension is great, gives a really smooth ride, the engine will remain stock, and is very reliable and cheap to run, the interior ressembles a track car, wich i like...all in all, it's a comfortable car for me, cheap to run, and looks really good in my opinion.

Now, for about a year, I've been trying to get a hold of a Nissan 350z. Found some, but they were kind of "prepped" cars, lovely ofcourse in the eyes of their owners. But i wanted a stock one, so i can work on it, and tune it the way i want. So i found this Nismo 350z, was a donor car for the owner's, more race-oriented Nismo. It's from 2006, 116000Km's, VQ35DE 3.5 i V6 24V (283 Hp). The engine is missing some parts, so it doesn't run now, but that's not a problem, since i want to swap it for a 38DETT.







Interior is pretty clean, and the passenger seat is missing.
Has some rust here and there, because in that garage it was a lot of moisture, but that's manageable. A lot of body parts are also missing, and so are the original Nismo wheels, the car now is equipped with some steelies.
This car cost me V$6500. I took it home with me, on a flatbed provided by the guy who sold it, and now it's being stripped, and getting ready to be painted soon. Dunno what color should i choose though...will see.

Added 20 minutes later:

Yess! Found a really nice colour to paint the car.



Maybe it will have a deeper purple highlight, but i love that blue paintjob on that one in the photo.
