I am a new memeber and just wanted to say hi. Yesterday I bought a 83' 280zxt for $550. It does need some work, I found it needs new floor panels, atleast one front quarter panel and the bottom half of one of the rear quarter panels. I'm not sure what it is called but it also needs that front lip thing under the front bumper and a hood.
As far as the motor goes it has 120k miles with a new stock turbo, new clutch(it shifted real smooth). If it didn't run so good I probably wouldn't have bought it. I was wondering how many miles these cars run for if they are maintaned well, I plan to use all synthetic oils.
If any one would have any type of estimate on how much it would be for all the parts I listed that would really help. Right now I only have about $2,500 to restore it because I am 15 and have a low paying job. I plan to have a very skilled bodyman I know do the work and by the time I need to pay him I will definately have enough $ for the restoration. Sorry for the length and thanks in advance for any replies.
