from 240 to 350 to 370
 
Figured I'd introduce myself now that I should be picking up my Pearl White Base+sports 6mt tomorrow. crossing my fingers nothing goes wrong before signing time.

At 16, my first car was a 1990 240sx, and is still one of my favorite cars I have ever driven. Did all the work myself, and installed a 300 whp SR20DET in it, along with 300zx brakes and a bunch of other mods. That thing was FAST and FUN. Ended up selling that because of emissions issues when they implemented new laws, and had some various POS cars until I got my current '04 Z roadster fully loaded. I've only had the 350 5-months, but that is long enough to convince me that I don't want a convertible as a daily driver. Luckily I got a good enough deal on it that I'm not losing money on trading it in tomorrow for the new Z.

Oh, and I also have a '66 Mustang GT in the garage that I am restoring from the frame-up.

Sounds good!

Post some pics up of the Mustang as you go, and of course of the new Z when you get it :pics:

That's real awesome.
240sx is on my list also!
Why is everyone getting white?!

Haha, I'm getting white because my old 240 was white and it brings back memories. Oh, and white is the only color I liked in base+sports available in texas....I would have gone with Monterrey Blue or Platinum Graphite as well, but it's only a 2 hour drive to pickup the white, it would be about an 8 hour for the PG, and a 6 hour for the Blue.

Edit: Picture of the mustang when I brought it home. Stripped and sandblasted

And a picture of the Mustang while I was doing a quick test-fit of the Shelby Panels. She's currently stripped to bare metal while I do body work and weld in new floor pans...I'm expecting body to be done and painted in 2-3 years...after that a 400hp 351 windsor with upgraded suspension and drive-line to complete the package!

Mustang FTW! We've got quite a few guys on here with them.

It's going to be a very nice car when it's all done. Just remember to insure it appropriately for a fixed price when it's completed, seen too many nice cars get smacked by some idiot running a red light and you end up with a fraction of what it was worth to you.

Officially picked up my Pearl White Base+sports package yesterday from Waco. All I can say is that it is a big difference from the '04 roadster, and I absolutely love it! Pics to come when the rain stops...
