So I'm getting started of the restoration work of my 1978 280z. The chassis repair and rust removal (replacement of floor pans and frame rails) and undercoating should be complete in a week or so. I am wondering what my best option is for the interior (top side) of the new floor pans. I am not planning on painting for a few months and I do not want to risk the floors rusting again. Should I apply undercoat (POR-15) to the interior as well? Also, I have access to a lot of Dynamat Xtreme and Superlite. Should I consider applying this to the interior while it is stripped? Basically I am a little confused as to the sequence of work on the interior now that the rust …

Hey guys. I’m Dustin. I’m new here but not new to cars. I’ve been restoring a 63 Karmann ghia for my wife and its almost finished. I’ve been typically American muscle and traditional hot rods but I want a little car to drive the shot out of without worrying about it. I’ve always admired the little Z cars and I’ve found one 2 miles from my house here in Amarillo. It’s been sanded on but the panels are solid. The only rust are the frame rails. I’m a welder so that doesn’t scare me unless you guys say to run away. It fires right up and idles smooth ac doesn’t work Here are are some pics. he’s asking $5500.

My friend Aaron sent me a link to a Z for sale up in Harrisburg on Sunday. I took a quick look at some pictures and told the guy that I'll get it on Monday. It's a 1-owner car. Everything is original except for the wheels, header (stock manifold included) and radio. It came with Clymer and Chilton manuals, owners manual and the manual for the Craig cassette player. The car has been parked and stored inside since 1983. A couple of the hose clamps aren't original and the dash has a couple cracks. The worst rust is the rear wheel arches. I have some NOS quarters that were put on my parts car so they'll go on this one. The hatch area is rock solid. The hood, doors and hatch a…

I have a new Pertronix 2 Igniter and Flamethrower 2 coil I would like to install in my 10/71 1972 240z. Car currently has Pertronix 1 and 1.5 coil that is wired to ballast resistor. How do I bypass the resistor? I know to attach red igniter wire to positive coil and black igniter wire to negative coil. Do I attach black/white wire on previous coil to new coil positive side with igniter red wire? Then can the other black/white and green/white wire be attached to the same post on resistor to bypass them? Condenser at distributor is unplugged, what about condenser at coil can it be removed? I attached a picture of current set up of Pertronix 1. Thanks f…

So I recently discovered that Z Specialties in Snohomish has closed permanently. I needed to know if there is any other shops that are still doing work on older 280Z's in the Washington State area? Thanks

New member. Middle aged guy who's always loved Z's. I remember trying to convince my mother (million years ago) that I needed that 1972 240z. Needless to say that discussion ended quickly. Life moves on, get a career, my lady, 3 kids and years pass by. Dreams of a Z aren't the highest of priorities but as many know, those dreams come back and I for one am a bit of a believer of "fate". Fate is that at work my Technical Project Manager came to me one day and said "Say I hear you like car projects". I chuckled a bit but then I heard that it was a Z and that old dream file cabinet in back of my head was dusted off and opened back up. He just wanted it to "be gone…
