Got my 280z

[Darnit5]

Hi im Peter, Here is my 1977 280z Im the 3rd owner, 1st was an old Japanese man who had it for about 30 years, the second owner was a British guy that was leaving the country so he sold it to me

I dont have any pictures of the interior but its mint.

 

Very bad quality pics taken off of my iphone sorry guys, i will get better ones this week when i borrow my cousin camera.

 

i payed $4000 which was not the best deal but its very clean other then a few rust spots on the rear of the car and a little on the frame rails. The transmission is a little ruff too... i think it might need to be rebuilt or swapped.. The engine runs fine though.

 

Im only 18 and have no hands on experience with cars and never work on one, bare with me when i ask nooby questions. Sometimes its overwhelming how much work an old car like this needs.

 

Anyone from Orange county with a Z?

 

 

 

 

Also, what rims are those? and why dont the "Z" wheel caps fit on the front ones

Looks great. Love the panasport wheels.

Looks good just needs to be lowered a bit. The front hubs may be a different size than the rear, or you may have a mismatched set.

$4,000 seems a bit step but if the body is in good condition you will be saving in the long run. Body work isn't cheap and it doesn't make it run any better.

The wheels are Konig Rewinds and the front caps done fit over the spindles...they just stick out far enough to prevent the caps from going on.

 

There are a lot of Z guys in Orange. I was just up there for the past 4 years for college and there are some good meets around.

 

Congrats on the car, looks pretty solid.

Shaved sidemarkers, very nice. I'll be doing that eventually.

 

Please do an early bumper conversion as soon as humanly possible.
