just because you dont physically make the motor come to life doesnt mean its not your project car.im not a mechanic,im a painter.i bought a z from a junk yard(1st mistake)let a bunch of kids try to drop in a motor(2nd mistake) and did a bunch of not so perfect bodywork,considering its was my 1st time,and painted it.after the help and patience of z1 i took a non drivable completly stock car to one that i have tons of fun in everytime i drive it.its def. not the fastest,slickest,or even the nicest but its my project z and i love it!
