There is nothing better than seeing the proud owner of car that probably started life off being driven by a mum or grandparents, it would very rarely get a power boost of revs and most of the time it would have been sitting around doing nothing, then comes along the current owner.
With plenty of ideas and some cash to spend, this car has been transformed from family car to race car and yet this has been done with care, you can see that from the original body lines and the way that the car has been portrayed in these images.
This is not just a project, it is more than that, this car is loved and that is how it should be, too many people think of their car modified car as a project and that may be the wrong way of going about it. This is because it is harder to take a car such as this and modify it, than a Nissan 350Z is.
Originally, this car would have been in the low insurance bracket, as the power output started at around 57 HP, could you just imagine that! Naturally, this car has a bigger punch than that now, but it just goes to show us that what you start off with is not necessarily, what you keep.
