Message this happened a few weeks ago...
I'm not really sure what happened. Was accelerating onto a highway, and the rear-end snapped out violently.
Yes I was getting on it, but it had never done that before. In the past it would brake traction, maybe slip sideways a little, but always easily moderated.
This time it just whipped around violently to the left, I caught it, but ended up going back to the right side of the road, up the curb, and hit a sign/pole.
The chassis was twisted pretty badly, note the separation at the seam in the rocker panel, and the car deemed a total loss.
I bought it back from insurance and all the good bits will be salvaged, reused.

And this will be the platform going forward...

The New Beginning

I've learned a lot about the Z32 in the past 17 years, but I'll have some questions as I begin building this one up. I figured I'd post this before I start asking all those questions.
