My transformed 260z

[WillsZed]

Some of you may know this car but i purchased it from Rob Johnson (Vpulsar) on here around a year ago and have been working on it ever since.

All credit to Rob, he put the car together very well indeed and to date, although i havent covered many miles, the engine and mechanics are running very very well indeed.

Since my purchase i have been continuing to restore the car in every aspect but also create something a bit different to your everyday Zed.

I will update further once i find some time but a few before and after shots to wet the appetite and to show you how i have brought the car on since purchase.

Week after purchase/Before.....






Now a year on/ The After.........









My photobucket has just gone down so more to follow when its up and running. Be good to hear thoughts.

Many thanks

Wills

Saw it on F/Book the other day

 

[Mr.G]

Well done, total transformation. I really like that!

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Look at that 3/4 picture in front of the castle/stately home and consider that this car (S30) was sold from 1969.

We discussed this at Donington over the weekend. Zeds look great standard or modified.

Lovely!

Now that is very nice indeed

Wills i owned that car before Rob bought it from me probably about 6 years ago, i bought it from an mg enthusiast that had owned it for 20 years or so and had been restoring it for a long time quality shell is that one

great job looks awsome !

 

[riske]

Really nice. The black detail seems to have made all the difference. Look forward to seeing more

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Wills, the guy who bought my old Datsun did some black 'detailing' and he included the window surrounds. Not sure how long that would last though.

Love that look, definitely saty with the black trimmings.

Nice, but for me loose the white on the tires...so, yeah ha

It's amazing how a few details can transform the look of a car. So much better now.
I do agree with Ian on the tyres, and the front really needs dropping down to complete the look Imo.
Overall a great job!

Maybe just the white writing on the back ?

I agree with you about lowering the front, but the front archs seem to be fittted way higher than the rears ?

Mine was like this and I refitted the rear's further up to get a more even look,

Not that i dont think it looks great becuase it does

I like it ,a massive improvement over the old look !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Stevie P]

Personal taste, but I like the white lettering on the tyres.

Personal taste, but I like the white lettering on the tyres.

Steve

So do I

It's also as style statement frequently seen on many JDM cars...have a feeling we will be seeing many more cars wearing white lettering as the scene catches on
