I got on the list for January for Sunchaser restoration. He did this one:

It won’t be cheap, but my wife wants to do it too. We get a lot of joy out of that car.

I also bought the parts to replace the locks and immobilizer on the Vespa. Sigh.

I will just keep looking at that 240 Z and dreaming about my car looking that good.

What does your car need? Looks pretty damn good in every pic I’ve seen of it.

something about the placement of that rear wheel seems...off to me.

I wouldn’t take it there. Looks like they forgot the parking brake. And the rear louvers.

Looks like a staggered setup with widebody fenders that are probably a bit too wide still.

Oh man ... how are you going to live without your Sunchaser while they restore it?

yes, but the wheels also seems to sit a little too far forward in the wheel well.

Didn’t notice that at first. Weird.

By cutting the roof off of the minivan, duh.

But stay away from the Watanabe/Ultralite lookalikes.

Maybe something unique like the wheels on this Supra:

They are in the right place it’s those stupid fender flairs that make it look funny.

What does the Sunchaser need?

Sounds like a good idea:

I was annoyed when they destroyed it, this is one of the least crappy things they built...

I think it’s still just the widebody panel. The angle of the photo makes it look like the wheel isn’t centered in the hole.

I see you post about the sun chaser a lot but I’ve got a question. I had never heard about the Sunchaser before seeing it on here to be honest. What is so special about it, is it a car you fell in love with or are they a rarity or what? I know personally what makes most cars great is the bond you share with them but was curious if it went beyond that.

I’d love a chance too drive a bone-stock 240Z 5-speed for an extended period.

You know what would look great on a Sunchaser?
