Worth looking at the photos if for nothing else to consider that your project is a piece of cake and don't be discouraged !
Bernard is retired and lives near Dieppe/Rouen and worked on Renaults' A442 '78 Le Mans winner and later Alpine, Renault 5 Turbo (the two seter version).

Wow, those are some impressive fabrication skills

Very impressive work.

Is a 280ZX really worth all that skilled work though? If it was a very rare and valuable car I could understand it more.

Makes you realise just how rusty these things can get and still look ok on a trailer.

Great Thread, thanks.

Wow and I thought mine was rusty.

That guy has some really impressive skills in fabrication. Looks like he really enjoys this kind of work, guess thats what its all about.

Great thread, will follow that one.

that's just insane! Most would consider that car WAY beyond repair. Much Kudos to that guy, I just wish I could fabricate that well and weld that cleanly.

It isn't about what it's worth Rob - is any Z project ?

I love this kind of stuff. Mad people doing brilliant things - who cares if it’s not economically viable! On my favourite model too. Great.

I think the S130s are awesome and getting very rare, Just as worthwile to restore as an S30 IMO. It's got to be about how much the car means to you personally, If i liked S130s as much as I do Z31s I'd restore one.

Very impressive. I didn't need to understand French to be impressed by this mans talents.
