Quick update,
We are beginning to piece together items for the Datsun build. I will be removing the transmission and the suspension once the rotisserie arrives. Everything 240z will be delayed for the foreseeable future. I do, however, have a running build. It is not a Datsun/Nissan but it is keeping me sane through this difficult time of not having a running Z. If my wife and I do decide to sell the ej257 Bugeye, I do plan on maybe getting a 350z or 370z for track and canyons. One thing I missed is the canyon runs and cruises we used to do constantly. I am hoping to get back into that as soon as possible. I do prefer an pre-smog Z but at this point, I am okay with anything. Until then, -jose

So here's a nasty plot twist for you, the bodyshop guy I took my Z to screwed me over. Not only did he screw me over but, he also screwed a few other people over as well. Needless to say, we are pending legal action and the Z is now back home with me. I will be restoring it myself, or at least, as much as I can. Unfortunately, all of the work I had done on the interior is to shit because the guy left it out in the elements for over a year and parts are missing as well. I know it will be nearly impossible to replace some series 1 pieces but at least I still have the car and was able to get it back. The only good news I have is that my engine guy should have the L28 ready soon, I'll be picking it up as soon as it's ready. But yeah, what a messed up couple of years it has been and I just wanted to come on here to give an update and to show that we are still here! We might not have social media anymore but, we sure as hell still have this website. Plans this year: Upgrade a few things on the website Establish a solid storefront Continue to grow the brand Restore the 240z and everything else in between! -jose Look at what they did to my boy! :( Poor thing was gutted smh Check out the carbies tho! They ain't webbies but I keep'em clean...
