i am looking to get the car back to its former glory, and i'm really excited about the project.

The car was previously owned by forum member Baptist, but has been sat unused for at least 3 years.

You can check out how the car looked when it was in its prime - link below.

I’m hoping to get some solid advice and tips from this forum and its community as I don’t have much experience with Z’s or this type of performance car in general!

Looking forward to chatting with you all.

Welcome and nice find. Hopefully everything is well and running. A car like that and sat for 3 years is never a good sign. But good luck.

Thanks for the message

, the car is running ok (clutch and brakes weren't seized). Got to change a fuel pipe which is leaking due to the rubber perishing. Sure sounds nice

..... already had the dash appart to rewire the Defi Controller which was wired incorrectly.

I have seen pics of this car off and on for the last year or so. Glad you were able to get it and bring it out of hibernation. Great looking car and looks phenominal.
