    I was going to say the same thing, I haven't seen one that nice since they were new, very few on the road around here any more. They didn't last 10 years before they rotted out big time
    Ohh a Z24 hood?? (we use to rent them at Hertz, wow that was in the late 80's early 90's...)

    Looks great! A buddy of mine has the two door version that's the same color as the green on the hood in the before pics. That poor car has been through hell. :biglaugh: It's been wrecked, caught fire once, all kinds of stuff. Thankfully they're are all over the place around here, so no problem finding parts.

    Looking good. Nice color too. I used to drive a white one like that. I drove the hell out of that car until the radiator mounts rotted out. That car was my whipping boy all the way through the end of high school. Ah, memories.
