Adventures of Z in Siberia

Hello, guys!
I restore '80 280zx 2+2.

I bought it about a year ago, with destroyed suspension, a lot of parts were installed from different cars, even from russian ones.

Also previous owner installed V8 5.0 from Mercedes S500 W126.
Sounds and runs great, but need some repair.

What already done:

Swap all suspension from s13 Silvia;
Got new wheels - SSR Watanabe R15;
swap Diff with LSD;
Seats from 350z;
Exhaust from 350z.

A lot of things have to be fixed in future.
Two main problems are
1) Interrior is completely ruined (was replaced by WOODEN parts by previous owner)
2) Repair or replace engine. Want to stay with V8.

It’s really hard to fix so rare car in Russia, we have about 10 of them in whole Russia, but we not give up)

Here some pictures of American Cars Club meeting, hope you enjoy it.

Those plates on that Cadillac sure look recent. Good to see that Texans get around.
