Hey everybody, I'm Justin from Austin Texas.

Currently I own a 72 Datsun 240Z, Nicknamed The "DemonZ"

Now I know what you're thinking... "Hey... that's not a Porsche!"
But the early Z's were dubbed the "Poor Man's Porsche"

Now, the reason I'm here is simple, I'm looking for a 74-89, 911 Turbo and doing research on prices, problems, parts availability, you name it. The one issue I have is that I dont have a whole lot of money these days, so odds are I'm not going to be able to afford one for a while, but it never hurts to look, and who knows, maybe I'll find one that's a little rough for the right price that I can fix up.

When I was a kid, my next door neighbor had a 911 that was either a 69 or 71(cant remember anymore) It's was a beautiful car, but after he retired, and his car had some problems he just couldnt keep fixing he sold it. Unfortunately, he sold it when I was 14 or 15 and it was before I started messing with cars. When I did start working on cars, he gave me pretty much all his tools. Pretty much all of which are older than I am. I consider him and his 911 to be a pretty big influence in my love for cars.

Back to me and The Z.
You may be asking, "Why is it called the DemonZ" well, here's why. I bought the car on 06/06/06 from a Junk Yard for $500. I have classic 1972 Texas plates with the # DWB 666. I finished the first engine for it on Friday the 13th, and the second engine on Halloween.

Here's The car when I first bought her:

The car is all apart again, need to do some frame repair, and I'm welding in a cage. The only things that are still stock on the car would be the unibody(not for much longer) Differential (also being changed soon) passenger seat, dash, and 70% of the suspension.
Even the windsheild wiper motor was replace with a faster one.

Thanks for reading, I'm definately looking forward to building myself a 911 Turbo!
