Message	Wrecked my 1st Z after five years ownership. Bought a chassis swapped everything over. I mean everything was done. I pulled both interiors out & put one interior back in. Replaced the body harnesses & rebuilt the engine & had many broken bolts. Every bolt was taken off. I swear i pulled the dash out 4 times. The engine builder took 6 months. And it had a massive oil leak upon completion. It was madness! I lost the love for the Z. I still don't love it like i used to. Instead of a hobby, it's become more like work. I don't browse the boards as much either. The Z continues to be my DD 1.5 years later. The car still puts a smile on my face when she's cleaned up. "Damn! you are sexy! ...ok, i'll keep you." Did i mention she's still fun to play with? Where's my BBK? GotCarolina Z?
