Just picked up a 78 280Z to be my DD

I've wanted a fun manual transmission car for my DD. I've always loved Z's and so I finally found one. It's in rough shape, needs paint and some rust spots fixed.
But I was told the engine runs and should only need a minor tune up (and massive cleaning of the entire car)

So the plan is to get the body fixed and painted, then run the stock engine until my project car (SC300 with a 2jz) is running. Then I'm hoping to do my first front clip import from Japan and get an R33 clip. Would be a good engine to have fun with.
