Pics of my 280zx over the years

[Silver280zx]

I just realized that i never did a picture thread of my 280zx, so here it goes. I Aquired the car in july of 2001 it was sitting under a tree for 7 years when i found her, she was going to be hauled to the junk yard, so the owner let me take her home for free. Its a January 1979 model slicktop, so its part of the 78 half year. I finished body work and such a couple of years ago, but just recently started a frame-off restoration. To go along with the frame of restoration, im doing a little something to the motor, but those pic will be up later. Thanks.

Looks great man! Can't wait to see her when she is done. I have been wanting to tear my Honda all the way down to the shell and redo everything. Good luck with her man!

Thanks guys, im about 40% done with the rust repair, then ill start on the goodies.

I promise we'll get the cylinder head pulled just as soon as Thomas gets his RWD max out of the shop. Hopefully today, his max should roll out. How long is your car going to be down? We gotta keep da OG's on the street.

[Silver280zx]

Its going to be down for a week or 2 more, then itll be back together momentarily untill i pull my motor and revamp the engine bay. I have to get my clutch and flywheel to the machineshop so they can balence everything. Then im going to get those vlave seats on that maxima head cut for 280 valves. Its going to be sick.

once you get some different wheels the car will look awesome. keep us posted.

[Silver280zx]

eh..the wheels are fine, makes it more of a sleeper, they are off an 83 turbo z, I was going to get some gold snowflakes for it eventually.
