Default The Beast is back










Hi All.

i thought i would post a message to say hello and post some pictures of my now finished 350z.

the car (formally owned by user Baptist) was found rusting in a lockup.

https://my350z.com/forum/new-owners/...g-a-beast.html

it has been completely restored, most parts being removed blasted and resprayed, wheels and brakes refurbished, camber and tweaks by RJN.

the car is amazing fun, and sounds incredible.

hope you like the pictures, i think we have done it justice. At its best the car puts out 585 bhp.

Dan

Good looking Z you have there, and power to boot. Some '06 headlights would really round out the exterior. Those brakes look sick!

Car looks great!

I can't believe someone would put all that time and effort into a car and not drive it for 3 years

Cheers yeah they were a nightmare to refurbish. I do not recommend getting aluminium back to a mirror finish.

Add some clear directional bulbs in there and the front would be delicious. None the less, well done sir.
