Growing up with parents I naturally was attracted to cars growing up. Like most kids I had posters or exotics on my wall, but it wasn't until I was a bit older I found my niche in Imports. My first car was a 2gen eclipse and I enjoyed my short ownership of it. My dad was the first one to show me the 300zx Z32 after multiple conversations about my mom owning a Z31 back in the day. Once I saw the Z32 and read about it's history I knew I had to have one. It was unique, it was sporty, and it was just as beautiful as it was when it rolled off the showroom floor. I first found a black Twin Turbo that was tastefully modified for more power and aesthetics. After my dad test drove the car he decided the power was too much for a 17 year old kid. As much as it pained me, I now know he made the right decision. After looking at the black TT, I found a NA 5spd not too far from my house in Chicago. My parents both liked it and my dad saw how good of shape it was in for a 21 year old Z. I fell in love and I bought this fairly clean 1990 300ZX in Cherry Red Pearl. I sold my '97 Eclipse in exchange for this car and I never looked back. I dove head first into learning about the history of this car and all I could mechanically. Fast forward 8 years and the car has gone through a slow but steady transformation. 2020 has already been a year of change for my Z32 and I am extremely excited to watch it get closer to my final visions. I want to keep it a street car with the ability to track it and enjoy it at the strip as well.
