TC powderworks seemed kind of spendy, quoted 300 to powdercoat some wheels.

Get it tuned up and make it look good and just take the car for sunday cruises. You have a clean 350 to track and play with. Use the datsun to cruise around town in a sweet old car. Thats my 2 cents.
LOL - you got me. J/K

I'm going to pull the engine out and see if I can't clean it up and rebuild it into something shiny and powerful. I think once I get started on the floors, I'll feel better about the rest of the car and the project.

I was looking at the S30 and thought it was sweet as is because I see the potential.

Yes please! I want some stuff on the Z33 done, plus I might consider some stuff on the S30.

I do 16-30 minutes depending on the day. Been doing mainly high intensity intervals. The fat definitely doesn't go away as fast as it goes on.

I am down some decent weight now... actually the lightest I have been since my kid was born (4 yrs). My strength is suffering some, but it's a needed sacrifice. I would like to loose another 12-15 lbs (put in the low 220's) and I think I would be where I want to be aesthetically.

That's good cardio. Not everyone can do the same type of cardio, so whatever pace you set and can stick with is great. I can run an 8 minute mile and am pretty happy with that.

You know fat never goes away. Sucks. Well, I guess lipo makes it go away.

I know my strength has suffered in the last few years. My joints in my upper body really feel it nowadays, so I go lighter with more reps and sets. I also find myself doing more cardio.

I'm thinking of doing this in the Summer: http://warriordash.com/

It just looks yellow because of the lighting, the only thing I know about it is that its Jays(CUL8ER) old hood.

The one I told you about. Have you considered polishing the hood?

I think it would look sick on a silver z.
