Rust bucket to JDM Muscle in 10 minutes - My 260z build.

[@Grenadieros]

Greetings from Greece, God bless your hands, amazing job-congratulations mate !!!

[@f4st3r36]

Looking really nice so far, and major props for sticking with it for all these years 👍

[@Dolf260z]

Thanks! If there is one thing I have it's patience! Hopefully this is a forever family car and my daughter will enjoy it too when she grows up!

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

I don’t understand how this video only has 7.8k views. Should be 7.8 million. Excellent build!

[@Dolf260z]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@hotrods4x4s18]

Heck yeah that thing is amazing

[@Dolf260z]

Thanks mate! I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Plan is to dress the motor down and make it look like a 327 chev.

[@Habading]

Every detail nurtured with so much affection!

I'm more of a stock resto type but beautiful work is beautiful work, and this is beautiful. Nicely done.

[@Dolf260z]

Thank you. It was going to start as a resto mod. I have period correct race parts and a L28 at home. It was going to have 6 carbs from a Honda motorbike, I don't know what happened. I didn't like the idea of spending 20k to build the L28 and it making only 250-300hp, ( read: slower than my daily commuter) And when my friend was able to fully build me a LS1 for 6k that made 450hp, well, here we are!

[@rwcraver]

@@Dolf260z I understand, cubic inches is always better than spending cubic dollars. You did some nice work repairing the rust damage and put a beautiful paint job on that 26 oz. I like to see craftsmanship on display. You've got it going on.

[@Dolf260z]

@@rwcraver thank you so much for the kind words. When I'm feeling deflated and defeated I always go back and read everyone's supportive comments and it motivated me to keep on going forward!

[@daniel635biturbo]

I have done it, I know the amount of work, especially when yo do so much your self. Congratulations to have come this far, and good luck, the best is still to come !

[@Dolf260z]

Thanks mate! Gave you a sub on your channel, I'll check it out when I get home from work!!!

[@shehryaraamir2608]

Incredible work man 👏👏

[@Dolf260z]

thankyou!

[@Bluesstreetrods]

Great job bro. You got skills.

[@Dolf260z]

Thanks for the kind words mate!

[@Bluesstreetrods]

@@Dolf260z yeah mate! Hope your enjoying your masterpiece.

[@TheSaturnV]

Inspiring work. I've got an early 260z sitting in my garage just begging for this treatment. (Fantastically clean garage by the way!)

[@Dolf260z]

Thanks mate! Yeah I'm a bit of a clean freak! And if the garage is clean, my little helper can hang around me too while I work. What are the plans for your zed? Resto mod with the straight 6 or hot rod it like mine?

[@TheSaturnV]

@@Dolf260z I am aiming for a mostly stock restoration with a few old-school 90’s era mods. Original L26 with an ‘83 5spd. Might do the 4Runner disc brake conversion and I’ve got an R200 diff. Leaving the suspension stock with some lowering springs.

[@Dolf260z]

@@TheSaturnV That was my original plan too! I honestly don't know what happened and where it went wrong! I have a L28 at home, I have a trick 6x 42mm Mikumi carb set up from a 90's honda blackbird motorbike, modified for a L26 intake, I have a set of 6-1 stewart Willkins race headers, and I have a genuine Fujitsubo Legalis shotgun race exhaust from japan. Its nearly 5k worth of parts to get my L28 running, But here we are ha! I have the 4Runner disc brake set up too, with S13 silvia rotors and wrx brake pads.

[@Habading]

Dolfius' garage (or as I have come to know it "The Car Room") is cleaner than most hospitals I go to. That said, this is pretty surgical work.

[@TheSaturnV]

@@Dolf260z I wouldn’t say your plans “went wrong” brother 😎

[@llskxyll]

Looks super good! 👍

[@nickobrien8963]

Well done mate. Looks really good. Great video too.

[@Dolf260z]

Sorry for the late reply but thanks for the kind words mate!

[@DuhMangoo]

love the build man

[@crymeariver5470]

What took you so long? just curious.

[@Dolf260z]

I'm a forklift mechanic by trade. Working 12 hour shifts covered in dirt and mud and garbage, the last thing I wanted to do was come home and get filthy under the car welding and grinding. Laying on the couch and relaxing won 90% of the time! 5 years or so to fix all the rust, Then stuck at the paint shop for 2 years, the last 3 years I had a kid which really slows things down too! I'll get there!

[@innnlove]

@@Dolf260z good job daddy
