This is a restomod I like
Looks very nicely done.

 

[Geoff-R]

I love that interior! It's a very well done car.

 

[uk66fastback]

Agreed. Very nice interior … MZR-esque. Anyone going to guess a selling price?

 

[chrisvega]

Probably sell to a European buyer.
I'll guess £45-50k.

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Lovely.

 

[Robotsan]

Wow, that interior is lovely. Reminds me of a Romas/DCW build more than MZR.

 

[candy red]

Love the colour does look like a fine example

Looks to be restored to a nice standard again but the style police have been called about those whitewalls
Seriously?

The wheels are too big IMO and the white walls accentuate the effect.

Generally, I think any bigger than 16" on a Z starts to look "off". Obviously, the 17" Rota RBRs have a fan base, given their fitment for overfenders, but they just look too big to me. These cars were made in an era when big was 14-15" wheels, hence why those diameters suit so well.

I agree

I agree

I see what you've done, spot the deliberate tampering
Doesn't matter what size you've got if you never get to use it anyway
When is your car gonna be finished Frankie?

ps. I'll split the difference with you both and go any bigger than 15"

Not really a difficult or expensive fix though, especially if you sell on the 17s.
