I can put my car for nomination...

 

These were taken the night before the Eastbourne car show

 

And here she is with her sister...

 

Well I thought I’d add my name into the mix this year, so here it is...

 

This is my modified “94 Uk 300zx. I brought this car a little over a year ago. It had been left for some time without much attention given to it but on the whole was a very strong car.

I’ve spent a considerable amount of time and money bringing this car back up to the level it deserves and most of the work is detailed in my journal, Project UK rewind. The work includes major service on the engine, paint correction, wheels refurbished, new used interior, refurbished rear lights, installing OEM stereo, new boot trims and so on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A '94 UK spec manual bought in March '98 from Howards Nissan in Weston-super-Mare. The first owner being Nissan UK.

The car is the penultimate RHD car built for the UK market.

 

The many modifications and enhancements made to the car have always been carried out with the overriding aim of

preserving as much as possible of the original character and identity of one of the best sports cars to come out of Japan.

Very standard apart from wheels and exhaust and a few engine mads. :)

 

i's like to put mine forward, just to see how it fairs, mine definitely isn't show worthy but very much a work in progress and has improved considerably over the last year or 2. still a lot to do but it's getting there slowly
