What to look for on an S30
I'm going to look at a '76 280 in a couple of weeks and I was wondering what to look for body wise. What are the problem areas? Are they the same as my S130 or do they have a different set of issues all their own? The car looks alright from the pics but we all know how misleading pics can be.

bring a magnet and a piece of felt (so you don't scratch the paint)
to tell how much metal there is
if its RHD... it's mine mr. hammer
good luck!

Rust and neglect.
Bleach's S130 checklist is a good read too: https://www.zdriver.com/forums/240z-280zxt-s30-s130-tech-tips-275/280zx-common-problems-checklist-purchase-inspection-16386/

For next to nothing on price it's anything but RHD. I just hope it's solid. It'll make a good first car for my oldest. Your age J. Damn I feel old now.
You talk your dad into the RHD coupe in Cali?
