Wheels are too old looking and big, this isn't a donk.

That said, kudos on cleaning her up. Good luck with any future work.

Welcome to the forum. Well done rescuing that poor Z. There must have been packs of potato's growing on there!! Decent detail always makes a difference.

Paint looks great, wheels would have been cool in 2003 but look dated in 2013

Well...I expected the hate on the wheels because I saw the 20s wheel thread. As for the paint the front clip was repainted by a shop recommended from my local Nissan dealership. As for the interior I have a new "used" steering wheel that's going in soon. Everything else I do I'll create a build thread but thanks for the "kinda sorta" welcome...

I actually just posted above? I'm almost amazed how much you guys suck...I've been part of other forums where we learned things from each other and discussed our cars. Instead I find myself here with a bunch of trolls fling me because I introduced myself? Awesome...class move guys.

Seriously dude, welcome! Nice save, but don't take things too personal. Having said that, save for suspension & possible new rims.
