Finally found some pics of my old 85 Z

It was pretty much the same situation as my current project. Front end wreck with slight frame damage, although the first project took about a year to complete. Damn frame shop had the car for about 6 months, but I really can't complain about that. They took the car on as a back-burner project to save me some money. My girlfriend is the proud current owner

Anyways, here's the pics.

 

We see your skills now give the new project your billz and make us all proud. Give it some real paint not a get by!

 

looks awesome!

 

you really transformed her

 

Have yet to get a paintjob, when I do it will be the Blue that my bosses Benz is, dont know how to describe it, lol But here is how my car was... Not quite as bad, but pretty evil. I got it, the day Idid I took the nose and front end off, and had to wait for $450 to have a body shop streighten the part where the rail bolts to the frame with the 4 bolts per side...

From this:
*it hit a motercycle back in '94

To this:


And Finally this:


Did all that in less than 2 weeks. Could have done it faster but didnt have the 450. Took the body shop about 2 days to streighten it, mabey less

 

You did a great job on that ratdude

It's always great to see these cars fixed rather than going to the boneyard.

 

It would have been soo expensive if i didnt have a donor car. Earlier this year, I bought a Green Sport Coupe with a near mint interior and a not too shabby exterior, for $450, and It had a horrible knock in it. I dont remember what we thought it was but it turned out to be a loose piston, lol. So it threw a rod and wrapped it around the crankshaft. I took the engine out in shop, but now had a camaro stuck in my garage. When i found that red one, It was perfect becaue it has 47000 origional miles, and was $900. So I swapped in the Nose, hood, dashboard, headliner, and all the plastic panels because it had the cover and the red didnt, and I have subs so i wanted it, didnt want to drill holes and mess up. I got some other stuff too but dont remember, lol Here is a pic of it:
