Not usually one to beg but; I have some really rough times ahead because of Uncle Sam; aka The IRS TAXES... The wide-body conversion project may not happen due to this unforeseen money situation. This car will look so amazing when / if completed.
Will you consider donating a dollar or so, to help this project get moving along? Your contribution will be most appreciated! You will be on a list of contributers on a custom website that will be made for this car, once it is completed!
I hope to return the favor to you some day too! Thank you very much.
8/2008 UPDATE: When it rains, it pours. The orginal transmission from 1991 has gone ka-put. I now have to get a new one with all new components ( Clutch, flywheel....), plus labor cost. I'm not doing so well. Huge setback...

The widebody pictures of the car that are on this page have been partially photoshoped, so I could get a feel for exactly what my car will look like when completed. It will look exactly like the one in the pictures. Fingers crossed :)
I am adding a Strosek-like widebody kit ( Paul Bailey ). Adding MRR Design GT-1 silver 19" wheels. 19x8.5 fronts and Custom widened 19x12 rears with 5" lip, wrapped in Toyo Proxes T1R tires. The wheels are finished, but the widebody is on hold. Maybe until 2009 summer or later :(

1991 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo:

This car has been moderately/heavily modified, and has 550 rear wheel horsepower on 93 octane gas @ 17lbs boost.

Here is what she will look like when completed
Here are some shots taken on 08/09/2008 at my first car show entry. The event was in Madison Indiana.
Hot August Cruise-In
Here are my new acrylic hood mirrors; custom made for my 300zx. I stick these on, just for show. Then take them off after.
 
I believe that about 300+ cars entered in the show. About 30 trophies where handed out. I actually got one.
2nd Best Wheels and Tires.
And that was for the current 17" Eniki Wheels that I have on the car. Just wait until I get those 19x12" wheels on after the wide-body kit is installed!
 
I was parked next to a guy whom was in his early 80's. He had a 1960 Continental that he bought brand new back then. Pretty much in almost perfect condition. Original paint job, and interior. Almost everything is original except his tires. He paid a little over $7k in 1960. Expensive back then.. Amazing how technology has changed seeing my 20 year old car next to his.
Also parked next to a Nova. Some other Datsons and Z's parked close also.
 
Here is the custom widened wheel that I brought to show off the future wide body kit.
