Mine has had a quite a journey..
When the last owner before me bought it:
Fugly would be a polite way of putting it I'd say!
He then got it to a point that was worthy if parting with cash for (and a trek to Edinburgh to collect), I had just started thinking about getting a Z and it cam up for sale, I was out of the country for a couple of months yet but put agreed a pricepaid deposit and collected many weeks later, as it was when I bought it in 2011:
Since then I've reduce the bling and gone for a more aggressive look but biggest changes have been a full facelift interior with black heated seats and brushed aluminum console (and a working round analogue clock, very pleased about this!).
Alloys been totally redone and the big effort and money has been the full suspenion overhaul along with some other 'maintence' along the way It drives like it looks now!
still plenty more to do and to come but the build is half the fun, plenty more time...
