Well its been about 8 months of saving and work, but its just about there, so i figured i would post up a little bit about it.

Just about the whole exterior was replaced: new lt quarter, new front fenders, new drivers door, new passenger door skin, new hood, new bumpers, repaired drivers frame rail, new passenger frame rail, new core support and everything to go along with, used rocker panels, used spoiler, 3 used wheels, new passenger suspension, new drivers apron, repaired drivers rocker.

heres a pic from when i purchased it, and a pic of it this weekend...you can see all the progress on my photobucket at: http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a375/ShavedDime/350z/

Downright embarrassing. I have a difficult enough time just putting brakes on a car.

Seems like a possible good flip for you, or nice car to keep

Well done

as long as you are the owner you are fine, but it wont be worth a damn if you flip it

actually i plan on turning 01-07 c class mercedes as a profit hopefully, as long as my loan goes through...

and i dont plan to sell the z, since it will have a rebuilt title, its almost worthless...but as long as i buy clean title cars for turn i will be ok

Damn, that's a whole list of work going in to that Z. Shows how much people love Z's these days. You put $13-$15k into it, how much did you buy it salvaged? Keep up the good work man.
