Ogman Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Haha! What the actual **** Ogman! What brings you to Conwy? I'm assuming this was late at night? If not you should have knocked and said hello! Haha! I was climbing Snowdon in the morning and stayed in the YHA (classy) up the road! Did it as part of the 3 peaks across 3 days, went for a wander into town and a beer...aaand there it was. My mate actually spotted it and was like "check this zed" - to my amazement it was yours! Looks even better in the flesh mate, great work! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Cal Posted May 26, 2015 Author Posted May 26, 2015 Ahhh now it makes sense! I get hikers walking past all the time giving it attention even though it's neatly tucked away! Caught people having their picture with it before now! You sure it looked good? It's been in dire need of a wash for ages! Hope your Snowdon trip went well, and hope you enjoyed your stay in little Conwy! Quote
Cal Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 Few pics while the sun lasts! Forgot to mention I had a great time at the Wales meet and somehow my car managed to pick up 'Best Z in Show' and 'Most Wanted Z'.... So cheers to everyone that liked my car enough to vote for me! 8 Quote

Cal Posted June 8, 2015 Author Posted June 8, 2015 Cheers Karl - the front looks crap in the picture above, not sure why! Just a bad photo... Here's a better one! And a few more... 5 Quote
LRF4N Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Stunning mate. Top work I was thinking the paint might look too creamy when you had the samples but the finished article is pretty much perfect 1 Quote
Cal Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 Cheers mate, yeah it's a fairly crisp white to be honest, I had hoped it would be a bit creamier ha! The colour only really comes out in direct sunlight, but it is lovely when it does. Quote
P15UL T Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 I loved my charge speed rear. Such a nice bumper. Like your extra touches. Great end result í ½í¸Ž 1 Quote
oldbonesmcgee Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Just read through the build for this, really awesome car! Amazing rear end, looks bang up to date and I love the JDM size plate recess (no idea why haha) 1 Quote
Cal Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 I loved my charge speed rear. Such a nice bumper. Like your extra touches. Great end result ������ Cheers mate, I'm really please with how the rear came out! Exactly what I wanted - 350z take of 370z Nismo. I much prefer this to the V3 rear bumper which I've never been keen on. Just read through the build for this, really awesome car! Amazing rear end, looks bang up to date and I love the JDM size plate recess (no idea why haha) Thank you mate, exactly what I was going for! Your 70 looks beautiful btw! Quote
Ogman Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Ooooooosh!!! You know I love this motor! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
GIXXERUK Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 That first pic (of 3) at a glance reminds me of a 300zx Stunning Cal Quote
slickcell Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 This is just amazing. I wish I had the funds right now to do something similar to mine. Lovely lovely car mate!! Quote
Cal Posted July 2, 2015 Author Posted July 2, 2015 Looks beautiful buddy B) Cheers mate Ooooooosh!!! You know I love this motor! I know you do, even hunted it down one evening! Haha That first pic (of 3) at a glance reminds me of a 300zx Stunning Cal Cheers Gixx! Haven't seen yours about recently, hope it's all good! Simply stunning 350z Cheers buddy, I'm really happy with it... Though I am tempted by a V3 or Chargespeed front now This is just amazing. I wish I had the funds right now to do something similar to mine. Lovely lovely car mate!! Thanks mate! Get saving Quote
Humpy Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Looks the dog danglies Cal, would of loved to of seen this in the flesh at Wales. 1 Quote
Cal Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 Cheers boys! I'm sure I'll see your Z at some point Hump! I've been having unpure thoughts lately... It's crossed my mind more than a few times lately, I've been thinking about selling it... Not because I don't love it, I really do, for what's it's worth people look at it like it's a 20/30k car, which is nuts considering it's 10 years old. But, I really want to get on the property ladder, and it's difficult. It's sat on 97k, what's it worth? I'd die if was only 5k or something having spent a fortune on it. Hit me... Quote
WINKJ Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Don't sell it. Surly it's not worth it for the amount you would end up getting in £££... Find another way man! Get a second job. Anything. Don't sell the Z 1 Quote
LRF4N Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 You can't.... Cos I would be knocking on your door with a pocket full of cash and I don't have any at the moment! Lol 1 Quote
Ricey Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 For me Cal its one of those cars that if you hang on will sell for very good money but it won't be a quick sale because your looking for someone who appriciates the car and isn't looking at pure stats. If its immaculate all round, full history etc you could be pushing 7k to my mind. 5k is about right for a boggo import with that mileage, partial history and a few niggles.

Payco Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 After all your time, cash and effort building this great car I would just have to find another way to find £7k.Rob a bank if you have to but don't sell your z. You will live to regret it I am sure. 1 Quote
WINKJ Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 and for 7k... would you ever find a car like yours again if you came around to look for one.... the answer is no way Quote
Cal Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Don't sell it. Surly it's not worth it for the amount you would end up getting in £££... Find another way man! Get a second job. Anything. Don't sell the Z It wouldn't sell for what I've spent on it, not a chance, but it'll have to go eventually - I can't split the body parts either as the colour is a one off. Hopefully get a pay rise in the new year - wishful thinking though! You can't.... Cos I would be knocking on your door with a pocket full of cash and I don't have any at the moment!

Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk Service history is rubbish prior to me buying it, it's had the belts and sparks done and is serviced every year or sooner. 7k would be tempting, but anything less I'd rather keep it...

Robbing a bank sounds like the best option, you in as accomplice? and for 7k... would you ever find a car like yours again if you came around to look for one.... the answer is no way That would be the hardest bit, I've built/styled it my way, and I love it... Everyone seems to love it too, young/old, even rich people with miles more expensive cars appreciate it. It's a car that visually punches above its valuation and that's why I love it. PRAY FOR A PAY RISE! Quote
