A quick shot of the car sitting in the rain today on my lunch break. I love this car! P.S. Peep the crooked 280ZX logo on the fender

Awesome already !!! tell us more about wheel/tyre specs !!!

Thank you! The specs are as follows:

Felgen werkes - 15x10.5 -32 all around with 1.25in spacers (to clear hubs in the front)

Tires are 205/50/15 hankooks.

This is not the permanent wheel setup. Ideally I'm wanting to run slightly less wide wheels with more negative offset. Specifically in the front. I'm wanting to buy some Longchamps or star sharks for this car eventually.

Edit: been doing some offset/width calculating. I've come up with this as what sizes I'm going to be using.

F15x10-40 with no spacer and still a 205/50/15

R15x10.5 -44 with no spacer and a 205/50/15 on there as well.

Reason I'm trying to stick with a 205 is because I'm keeping this car stock body. No flares or anything like that. I really LOVE the way the car looks with wide wheels and the stock body lines. It's much more clean and correct in the way that I'm trying to build this car in my opinion. Again, thank you all for the positivity with this car. I'm excited to show what's to come!

Okay so I completely forgot I had a thread here of my Z build (sorry lol) and I know some of you would like to see it. So here it is. I placed the pictures in order from when the car was stock to now.

























Still working on some things obviously. The front will be dropped down another inch or so when the airdam comes in the mail, I'm searching for a number of "period correct" parts that will be put on when I find exactly what I'm looking for. Overal I'm happy to finally see my Z get driven more regularly, and with some new parts to boot! Stay tuned!

you've got to use a site like Flickr, upload them to that then link them in here
