'81 ZX parts! Great engine, decent body parts, okayish red int., clutch new in box!
This hurts.
So I have this 1981 280zx that for some reason or another a tree felt necessary to attack. It doesn't drive because its delightfully twisted. Other than that, motor runs mint. I compression tested it in May and it has exactly 185 pounds of compression in all 6 cylinders. Week and a haf old valve cover gasket, Plugs and wires 1 month ago. The tranny works okay i never noticed a problem, 5spd, but may need a rebuild, I was starting to pick up a slight whine, think it was from there. I have a brand new never used Exedy OE replacement style clutch that I opened but never had a chance to install, it's still in the box. The car has a 3 week old custom bent exhaust on it. (I asked for 2.5" but it looks more like 2.25") Single piece from the collector all the way back to the tailpipe, no cat into a flowmaster 40 series, was just starting to sound GREAT! Remanned alternator has around a thousand miles on it. A/C worked great, all other moving parts worked good too. 3 of the rims are still good, they're 14" alum 6 spoke (pictured in my thumbnail, don't know if you can see or not). Body minus the passenger side is still good, just a little fading paint on the hatch, all chrome is good. Let me know anything you need, I may have it, everything was f*cking dandy till this happened. Unless it broke in the crash, everything is here (the interior's hit or miss you know how these things are). Also, the starter is on it's way out, the voltmeter and clockwatch shorted out a few weeks ago. I have many many pics but unfortunately my internet connection has slowed to the point where I can't even log into photobucket. Maybe I'll figure something out. Clock reads 151k, it was reading a little high/ quick, really has around 125-130K on it. Let me know what you want, I'm now open for business... ..

about your exhaust, how much did it run you?..and what was it like after installation as far as performance and sound quality?...im currently researching on what i would like to do to my 81 280zx n/a and im very finicky on what things i put into it.
how did you like the exhaust?
...also what condition is your dash in? is it cracked like most zcars? or has it been replaced at some point and is still nice and new looking?
thanks for your help, and sorry for your loss...
