Yay!

Tuesday night I found one! My fav colour (metallic) green, tan interior, running engine, decent body work at a "Buy it now" price of $1,400 (which equals around 900Euros). Clicking the button would have been my first reaction, but managed to take the upper hand over my emotions :) But Wednesday morning, after i discussed it with my brother, I couldn't help myself and clicked "Buy it now". YAY! I had just committed myself to restoring this beauty to her former glory and sex appeal :)
Fortunately it's being shipped from NY so for less than 2k Euros, I am the proud owner of a real Z! Haven't seen any Z in such a condition for less than 4k Eur out here in Holland (and Europe for that matter).
Here's some pix.



Need to go now. More will follow...

Looking...

I finally made the decision. I'm looking for an affordable first generation 240Z to do a frame-up restoration. I've been lusting for this car ever since I was a kid back in the 70s :) I've built a plane (Glasair II), bikes, and now I think it's time to see how far my skills will get me with this wonderful car. I will soon have the space to do the restoration, but unfortunately I already know that I won't be able to spend all spare time on the project since I still have a 19 month old toddler running around the house. So I guess it's gonna take a pretty long time.

When and if I've found a decent Z, I'll start bloggin' away.
Until then....ciao!
