fivehunsky Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I never really put her up on here so I thought I would share.. I am the third owner of this car. The guy I got it from had it passed to him after his mother and father passed away. He actually bought a 1200 brand new in 73 and they liked it so much that they bought the b210 the next year. It wasnt driven very much after they bought a new car with ac. I picked it up with 60k original miles. here is what it looked like when I got it. on the way home to texas.. Drove it from Ardmore Oklahoma to Dallas Texas In pretty good shape.. Interior was kinda worn out but not too bad. The paint was done at home by the last owner.. he did a great job on not overspraying or messing up the trim but it feels like rhinolining.. really needs smoothed out. Quote Link to comment

fivehunsky Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hey thanks guys.. The lip is a vw lip.. I think a rabbit one.. dont remember the model.. Fits great.. The tires are 185/60r14 Falken ziex ze912's on 14x7 konig rewinds.. good long lasting tires.. Ive had them on for over a year with no problems and they still look and feel great..

nukeday Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I guess they are park bench, but I think they look much better than the rubber ended one's on the later models. Quote Link to comment

Mr. Squirrel Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 My uncle had a two model and it was fast. I know where there is a two door right now that has been sitting for a few years. Its never moved at all. Quote Link to comment
b210in Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 how about some more details on your 280zx front strut swap. what springs did you use? Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) You use the B210 spring. You want to do the 280ZX if you want large brakes for some reason. For street use, the B210 disks work pretty well. For racing, they will overheat that the 280ZX brakes have a ventilated disk.
