Default 350z build thread... my first Z!

I'm going to post some pics of my first Z. I bought a 2004 wrecked Z (last year) and rebuilt it myself in my spare time... and I just put the rims on today! let me know what you guys think... man I love the ZED!

here's the car when I bought it. performance model, 6 speed, 18K miles.

My rims came today! Jon at bestwheeldeals.com was extremely knowledgeable and had unbeatable pricing. I upgraded to a 245/40/18 up front and a 275/35/18 in the rear.
