SURPRISE!!! Snw's new ride beeches!

well, i told you all before i had a surprise coming... and here she is!

its my new 1977 280Z all the metal mouldings removed for the painting, already primed so now i can join nismo's primer club. everything in this car works flawlessly.... FLAWLESSLY body is in excellent shape, got it from my dads friend who was collecting and restoring many cars this Z a few 1600/2000 roadsters some muscle cars, so he does amazing body work. well, this car is just disgusting... and check out the interior! its a true 93k mile car, with all these parts from a tru 60k car. rear diff, refurbed engine cradle and steering column and pinion, a extra head and block, brand new looking emblems, and just sooo much. already has a 5 speed in it. and yeah... this car is just great, absolutley great. and i got it all for a smooth 1800

A/F guage where the clock used to be

lol, well, i recomend no one on here to buy my 260... i love the car, at least when it was running good, but ALL the rubber seals need replacing. and you should see my parts pile. i have enough parts to build you an S30 B just get me a chassis. lol. i swear to god thats not even an exageration. i have multiple computers now, multiple glass (windshield rear hatch doors) pieces, emblems, steering wheel, engine cradle, diff, half shafts, dizzy's, throttle bodies (one is an SX) exhaust pieces, head, the list just goes on... if i sell all this crap i can probably pay off the car alone. but my 260, i pm'd thxone hopefully i can get his TPS dizzy and ECU and try swappin that stuff wiht mine see if the timing issue goes away. if so, im set. gotta check for chain stretch/timing jumped also on that car. this is redonculous. and yeah, my parents were 110% against me modifying my 260 till my dad drove it and was like "you can barely keep that rear end under you blah blah blah) then he knew this guy his buddy i guess selling this car and like practically made me get it. lol. B i will keep an eye out for yah, but they are hard to come by. i also bought another car today.... but this one is smaller ill get a pic up when i can of it.

so are you lowering the price of your 260Z turbo?

looks like a good S30. What kind of bumpers or bodykit do you have planned for it?

im not gonna do crap with the bumpers for now. when i sell the 260 (andi lowered teh price 2 grand already and have had some interest) im going to buy paint and a Xenon front maybe... but the S30's looky sexy already, so i might just go total resto and build teh extra engine i have for N/A performance.
