1976 280Z L28 Turbo "JDM Rat Rod"

I bought the car in college about 8 years ago with my best friend and roommate Jon. We bought it as a bone stock 280z 2+2 (not knowing the difference between the 2+2's and coupes lol). Spent a lot of time building the car on an insane budget with friends in the college parking lot, going to meets, and taking the car on weekend trips to places like OCMD for h2oi (RIP). Since graduating and starting to make some money I have spent the years since building the car into something I have been dreaming about since I got it. Now I'm working out of a shop rented with my friends (our group is called Annoying Team Racing! and run by my buddy Devon, check out annoying.jp for merch and upcoming events in the PA/MD area). I have spent the last few years fixing and replacing all of the cheap mods I did back in the day with good quality parts and making sure I build the car right. Having a shop with friends and getting to build cars has been such an amazing experience and I wouldn't be where I am without all of them. Looking forward to the future of this car of cruising with the boys and hopefully getting the Z on track and doing some SCCA hillclimb events in the next few years. *note* did include some older pics since I havent had any professional photos done since the recent build progress
