"80's Daydream" | 1984 Datsun 300ZX Z31

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

My partner, Alan Edgecombe has been restoring his 80's Datsun 300zx for a few years now and I've been alongside him watching the whole process. Although it has been an incredibly long project, it was definitely worth it. Alan has transformed that car from a close-to-death rust box to an amazing smart sports car - as it should be. He is very talented and I am very proud of what he has produced, so that's why I wanted to create a short film for him. So, this film portrays Alan and his Datsun where he explains the process of the build and how it makes him feel. I've captured his happiness for the car as he drives it, and the film also shows how proud he actually is of himself for building it, which he should be! I think this film proves that if you work hard enough at something you want to achieve, then eventually it will happen, just don't give up!

    I just wanna come back with an update to my previous comment I made a year ago. I finally got the Z31 barnfind of mine back on track and today I got it hauled to a shop I work in and got her to run and idle for a short while. This video kinda gives me some of the motivation I need to keep working on that car and breathe new life into it. Seeing what it could be with some time and hard work. She deserves the road again.

    Beautiful car mate congrats! I used to own a z31 (wish I still did) it was a manual turbo targa top, I loved it. The only thing I wish it was the short wheel base model like yours. Here in Australia we only got the 2+2 version

    The uk market only received 2+2 long wheel base models, this was the only option other than import one from Japan and I didn't have that kinda money haha. Plus left hand drive is more interesting in the uk for sure.
