Hello good people, fellow Z enthusiasts. My name is Alex (28yo) from Germany and since the summer 2022 I am the owner (finally) of a Z. Little backstory of how I came up with being fanatically in a search for a Z. So, about more or less 15 years ago while I was still a nippet I saw the somewhat legendary movie version of the Devil Z manga. Back than I honestly thought the car was some sort of a Jag or a Daytona or whatever and all I will ever be able to own from the car was maybe like a keychain or a fancy poster of it. Due to school, not so great financial situation of my family growing up etc the closest I ever came to the car was watching other people on youtube like Petrolicious talk about them. I literally never even saw the car in person until I bought mine so I was scared shitless when I first went to see it. Anyway due to the rising prices of the cars few years back I kind of gave up on ever being able to own the car since cashing 20-25k for a car that is due to be restored was a bit above my limit of common sense. Luckily in August of 2022 I accidentally went online in my regular price check crusade of various cars and thats when I saw it. Immediately contacted the guy and arranged to go see it. For the price the car was in a remarkably good state (VERY minor surface rust on a few spots only) but I will let pictures talk about the state of the car...Btw its my first ever project though I am not quite a novice into the mechanics world.
Anyway I hope you like it :)

Congratulations, Alex, and welcome to the Z community. Looks like a nice car and also in the same colour as the Devil Z.

Yes, hello and welcome. That does look a good body. So you have repainted the rear suspension black already.

Now the wheels?

Hello, thank you. Both rear and front axle have already been done, completely. New bushings, shocks, springs, nuts, bolts. All of the parts have been sandblasted and repainted ofc. The wheels, the blue disgusting ones, they wont be used thats for sure. Thats why I got myself those beautiful Z Story wheels.
