Allow myself to introduce......myself

Hey all! Been coming here off and on over the years and finally decided to register and so on.. My name is Ed and I'm from Missouri. I've owned 8 or 9 Z's so far. My current is a 1981 280zx base model...no power anything, one outside mirror only, basically the stripped model. It's bone stock right now but after the first of the year I've got about 3 grand to dump in her. Here's a couple of pics, tell me what you think.... nice to meet you guys btw!

Please ignore the clapped out California Z

thanks for the welcome guys. I've been debating on the rest of the body kit. I'm thinking about just getting a later model rear bumper and painting it all body color. We'll have to wait and see after I get the rest of it done.

Here's some pics of the interior as it sits right now. I've already got new seats out of a Miata for it and new carpet is coming soon.

If you tried unbolting it at the body then there are two more bolts in the hatch that need to come off.

And welcome to the new guy.
