Some of you might have wondered what I've been upto since I sold the Subaru.
Apologies if I haven't been on here as often as I'd liked. I've had my hands full as you can see.
Just dropped off the car at Donington Park for the Autoglym Best in Britain Competition.
So for those that may be intersted here’s the long awaited launch of my new show car – project350z.
As some of you may know I’ve been secretly building a show car for this years show season.
It may not be to everyone’s taste, but I’m sure a couple of you may like it.
The Subaru was sold in September ’08 and so the hunt began for a 350Z. Red is my trade mark colour so for obvious reasons I needed a red ‘Z’. These are like rocking horse poo, but I eventually got my hands on a UK 2004 model in October.
Within a few days I began stripping it out, starting with the boot area, and commencing stripping the plastics and building a false floor for the new ICE.
Over the coming months of hardship, worry, stress and good ole’ graft, the car was finally finished this week.
As you can see from the spec list almost everything has been changed.
As it’s a show car I’ve created a theme – project350z.
You can see the day by day blog here as well as pictures.

Top marques to you Craig ![Cool](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/cool.gif)
I was wondering when we was going to get a preview of the car... great job that took some effort I know![Notworthy](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/notworthy.gif)
I've looked through the blog... now that took some work, since a lot of people start off with a brand new car you had a lot to do just to get it to a level where to then start from.

Thanks for all the kind comments, much appreciated.
It has been hard work to get the car to this standard and in such a short period of time.
Hopefully catch up with one or two of you at a show or 2 this year.

I certainly like it and that's coming from 9 years of scooby ownership.
