Restoring a 300ZX - My story

Thinking about restoring a 300ZX? I highly recommend it so long as you know what you are getting into. This 300ZX took 6 years off on and off again projects to bring it to the current condition. Initially, the car needed 120K service, brake rotors, and pads.

The second-year on the road the car had a turbo coolant leak. Every year a major system was addressed until finally in 2015 (5 years post-purchase) it ran 100%.
