From the dark depths of build thread history comes Projekt Hugo. Does anyone remember this video series about a guy from Sweden who imported a supposedly “rust free” 240z from the US, only to find it littered with rotted metal? He then proceeded to rebuild the car whilst documenting the whole thing on well-edited videos. This was before the days of Youtube or Vimeo and before every car guy was a photographer/videographer, so a series of clips like this was a big deal back then.
Thanks to Dave for reminding me about it.

Man, I can’t believe that build is still going…
That is going to be one sick datsun 280z. Nice car build.
I have held out for years wanting this one to come out of cold storage. Way too many epic builds seem to die on the downhill side of the journey.
