Hello all! My name is Jakob, from southeastern Michigan. I bought my 1979 280zx a little over a year ago, with 30,054 original miles; it was stored 18 years. now it has around 41k. Here are some pictures...

The splotch on the hood is a result of the crappy maaco paintjob the previous owner had. Passenger side damage, someone hit my car in the parking lot at work:(

I get my rims tomorrow, and soon i get my performance strut tower bars, struts, and springs.

Glad to see a new owner, first advice spray it with water winter is coming make sure your Z is ready for rain. I bought my Z this summer and found I needed a new drip molding, found a little water getting in the door. Good luck and get that nismo sticker off the hood please.
