Well the Nissans in my household continue to multiply. I had someone I'm training this week on a crime prevention program offer me a 1974 260Z.

Really can't beat the price. FREE. It is in running condition, needs tires, tune up and someone willing to begin the restoration process. So now it's mine.

I really need a bigger garage. I'm thinking about 1800 square feet would just about cover the garage size i need.

Worse still, I had a friend call me up and his father just blew the head gasket on his 88 300ZX and offered it to me for $250. I am going to pass on this one simply because I have no garage space, and do not want to have my house/yard look like a salvage yard.

So now at the house, in order of year

1974 260Z Metallic Green 4 speed Manual
1993 240SX Convertible Super Black 5 speed Manual
1994 J30t Pearl with Automatic
2003 G35 Sedan Sheer Silver Automatic
2005 Xterra S Red Brawn 6 speed Manual

There is an 89 240SX parts car at a friends house that is in my name as well, and finally a 1991 Acura Legend is sitting at my parents house should I ever take the time to fix it back up (was given to me while in High School and now has a bad motor 12 years later).

Here endeth the rant.

uh not so much. think bone stock. That one looks like it has aspirations to be the tail of an aircraft. :-) like the front end, but just not huge on the big wings.

Most likely I'll just work on the whole slow restoration process, and get it done over a couple years, while playing with it at the same time.

I should have pics of it up next Thursday or so.

I hate big wings too, but it was the nicest one I found when I did a search for them :biggrin:
