hey there everyone, my name's Jack, I am 23, and I am currently stationed at Travis AFB in northern CA. Im originally from marietta GA.

I absolutely love this site and everything that everyone here is doing. Unfortunately for me, I reside in the dorms and have to park in a parking lot and must use the auto hobby on base for any work, so no garage of my own yet. I am currently restoring a 1971 datsun 240z, and riding a harley sportster as my daily and cannot wait to settle into a permanent residence and build a dream garage. I will probably head back to GA or even coastal FL where my dad lives when i decide to buy a home. So for my sake, and the sake of all the rest of us here that arent quite at the point where we can start our projects, I hope that this site stays alive and strong for a long time. :thumbup:

well so far I have tore the car down to a rolling chassis basically as can be seen here.

then took it to american stripping co. in Sac for media blasting and primer coat.

now it sits in storage patiently awaiting me to save up the cash for the next step. theres a guy lives north of Sac who does body work/paint. he mainly does datsun 510's but he said he'd be willing to do my z. after that its just a matter of putting it back together. long term after that is a 280zx turbo motor build.

My friend used to drive a rhd white 180sx with a 2.2 sr20, and was sponsored by some guy who owned a shop. the guy owned a 510 with an sr20 in it. 510's are pretty cool too.

your car looks like alot of work, but I bet it will look so nice when it is done. I saw a metallic dark red 240z yesterday drive by at a light, it had me lookin.

I had also owned a 240sx for about 6 years. Just sold it to a buddy of mine around here.
