Hello lovers of stance,

First off I'll tell you about myself. I'm 20 years old, live in a small town in eastern TN, and I love cars!
This particular car I've owned for about 4 years now, and up until a few weeks ago was a bone stock, low mileage example. I traded a 1993 240sx hatch with an RB20DET swap for this car and I've loved every second of owning it!

More about the car:

-110,000 original miles
-slick top car, (no leaky t-tops)
-5 speed manual
-all original body panels, paint, interior ( minus radio and bezel)
-NO RUST


Now onto the build!

I've owned many cars in my 20 years, from miatas, to 3000gt vr4's, to camaros. But nothing gets me like a properly built antique Japanese sports car. I've always loved old Z's and I decided it was about time to add a little heritage into mine.

This build will be over time, as I get the funds. I'm going to be doing a coilover conversion, a lot of body restoration due to the hail dents I'm going to be drawing a lot of inspiration from Shakotan cars out of Japan, and throwing my own flavor into it. Below are some pictures of the car before the transformation. I will come back and post pictures of the car as I go along. Thank you all for checking this out I hope you like what you see
