ww’s Nissan '83 280ZX Turbo 2+2

This was an impulse buy. It had low mileage and I picked it up for $500. It’ll either be a drive-line donor or a LeMons victim when it’s through with it’s current duty as a loaner to a friend who’s hit some tough times.

ww’s Subaru '00 Impreza Outback Sport

This is my wife’s commuter and kid hauler (for now). She’ll be getting something a little bigger now that we have 3 kids in tow. When she does, I’ve made it very clear what my plans are for this little gem when she “discards” it!

Here’s my “work in progress” 2.8L MSnS ITB powered 240Z. It came as a restoration project a previous owner lost interest and then the money to finish. I picked it up with “some assembly required”, mostly in boxes and a rolling chassis.
