| Some of the members may remember my backstory and in that case this car will bring back memories. For the rest of you it will just be another "I bought a TT" thread. ;) I will be recreating my previous Twin Turbo Z as closely as possible with a few improvements here and there. I searched off and on for the last 3.5 years to find a car that was worthy (clean enough) and priced right to start my new build. I finally found the car and it was in town! This car looked a bit rough due to the trashed interior and cloudy paint but the body was in great shape with only 4 dents on the entire car, one is on the hood and one on the fender. I have a straight hood and both fenders that will be painted and installed leaving the car with only 2 dents. It truly is in wonderful shape for a 21 year old machine. The odometer just rolled past 145,000 and the car is bone stock except for an intake, this is a nice blank canvas for me. It feels like all is right with the world again now that I have a '90 Super White TT 5-speed in the garage. These were taken on my first visit to see/drive the car.
 
My first TT had black/grey interior so the red will have to go.
 The stock shifter bushings were not installed when the clutch was recently replaced leaving a sloppy stick. I machined some tight bushings out of delrin and installed the short shifter from the Slicktop. I now have the tightest/shortest shifter I've ever felt in a Z, it's perfect.
 
The entire red interior was removed to make way for the black/grey combo.
 
This is how the car currently looks. These wheels are temporary and will be relegated to track duty after I mount tires on the OTHER wheels. ;)
 The garage was rearranged to fit the Z in it's new home.
My goal for this Z is to build a street/roadcourse car while maintaining streetability and the car's original image. I will be fabricating another ITB setup and other parts along the way.
The old car.
 Stay tuned....
