| I've always loved the 300zx. My dad had an 84 Turbo when I was growing up, and a neighbor down the street a 260z. When I bought my first Z32 TT over 13 years ago, I knew I was in love. I've just never felt more comfortable behind the wheel of any other car. When I sold my second TT in 03 to buy a house, I always knew I'd have another one someday. I was so excited when this car fell into my lap, and the possibilities seemed endless. But it's just been one long nightmare! I'm at the point where I've spent so much money on this build that I could have bought an immaculate low mileage TT! I've always adhered to the built not bought rule, but damn... I'm finally understanding why guys just go and buy a Porsche and hit the track. You get a car that you can actually drive! (and sell for most of your investment back a few years later). Instead of a car in pieces in your garage, constantly wrenching on it. I guess I'm getting older, but I just don't enjoy the process of a build like I used to. Less free time/more responsibilities just leaves me feeling stressed about the build constantly. It's like an all consuming monkey on my back. I guess I'm just impatient. I'd lose my shirt if I try to sell all the parts I just bought, so I guess I really have no choice but to find another shell and build the whole thing. But It's been tough finding something really clean - these cars are getting old and so many of them are really beat to shit (at least the ones in my price range anyways). Chalk it up to adult sensibilities, but it just kills me knowing I'll never get this money back. Thanks again for the support guys.
