jalen Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I bought this car from my Friend Tom (Owned Scorpion gtz cars) it cost me $2000 to get it home. its a '76 280z. It's a 5speed and fuel injected. Let me know what you think. Sorry if the pics are familiar i copied them from my build thread off of stanceworks,com When I bought it: 2 Link to comment
jalen Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 when i bought it it didn't have a center console so i picked this up from pull a part in Arlington for $10: I did a quick crown royal shift boot since it didn't have one. I will probably end up replacing it or making it look better at least. 2 Link to comment

Rob W. Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Don't want to be discouraging you do have a nice ride and all but those are some lame choices. How could you not have a green on there? That's a lot nicer car than my first one enjoy it and try not to wreck it. Link to comment

jalen Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I just built a custom speaker box for my car. Its probably gonna be a little lower but here is a pic so you guys can see the idea. Looking from behind the drivers seat. i think im going to mount to 6x9's on top. keep the 2 speakers in the door and a 12" on the trunk side. This is the side were the12" sub will be. 1 Link to comment

jalen Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yeah they look pretty sick like that. I found out it will cost me $700 to paint the z nissan blue. Cause I would have to buy the paint from my friend Tom and we would paint it l. And I would give him a few extra bucks. And I just bout a turbo muffler. Link to comment
jalen Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 just installed my turbo muffler. and getting new pipes. Link to comment
jalen Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Okay my project has been on old cause of me not having money :( But I finished fiberglassing and painting the airdam. It's a gloss black. And I have 240z bumpers going on eventually. But in the interior I noticed the sound deadner had moisture under it in the trunk so I'm ripping all of it up sanding down the rust. Than painting the trunk. I need new interior also :( Link to comment
izzo Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 instead of painting it. Go to por15 website and get their starter kit for 20 dollars. Trust me, its a THOUSAND times better then just painting the floorboards. It will outlast the paint by decades... The starter kit will come with more than enough for you to cover the floors/trunk with a coat, possibly 2. does 12sqft iirc. 1 Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Good work dude, fiberglass work can be really messy. Link to comment
jalen Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Okay I'll probably order some por 15. And thanks I love fiberglassing now. Once I get the airdamn on I'll take some pics. I want to make a bre spoiler my friend has molds :) Does anyone no where I can get sound deadner (fatmat,dynomat,coolmat etc...) I want tontine a place local. Thanks Link to comment
