It's not completely where I want it, and I still need to clean up the table and shelves, but it looks a lot
better now than it did back in the summer when I started to try to clean up...

Before....

And now...

I can even move around, and theoretically work on a car in there now....

Hollywood Motorsports Z Spider Info

My Speedster Z Project will use body panels from a few sources, mainly John Washington at Reaction Research, well known for the Velo Rossa which builds on a first gen Z Car platform.

The back deck however is from a different convertible Z design, marketed by Hollywood Motorsports in the early 90's. I don't know if this company is still around in any form or not. I liked the design of the Hollywood kit, because it had a nice character line where the cars built from the ZTherapy design tend to have flat decks / trunks. I had given up hope of finding one of the Hollywood kits, when I stumbled upon a Z shop that said they had the remaining inventory for sale.

....a little progress....

Well, I didn't drive any finished projects out of the garage in celebration of the first week of refocusing.... I really did stay busy most of the week. There is definite progress being made on cleaning out the garage, although I am far from ready to snap the after picture. I got some work done in the house, some painting and such, and I did finish and maiden the Super Decathlon.

Oh, made it to a local pick and pull and snagged a Pathfinder manifold and valve covers for the Z31, and an S13 diff cover for the Q45 diff going in to Speedster Z.

Stay tuned.....

My garage / workshop isn't that big, 14 X 24 or something like that. It should be plenty of room to do some work though, as long as I am neat, careful and organized..... Three strikes, I'm out....

Hiding in there somewhere, you should be able to see the nose of a first gen Z car.

So, the first thing I need to do if I am going to get this show on the road is to clean up this mess and give myself somewhere to work....
