Over one year, still here

Here's a very late post to introduce the guy who walked in to the conversation and just started talking...

I signed up for this forum over a year ago, just to look at the pictures. I didn't really expect to get involved beyond that but then I found a problem that seemed unique to my model year so thought I would share. Since then, I think that I've become hooked. This is great entertainment.

I picked up a stock 1976 280Z in September 09, that did not run but apparently had at least idled about a year before I got it. Now, with information from this site and a few others, it runs and handles fine, doesn't leak (it's not a greenhouse inside), and I drive it almost every day. So far, no tickets or increased insurance rates.

I have very low cash flow so I get a lot of parts at the local parts store and try to fix and improve existing parts before replacing. Hence the "Low Budget, High Value" under my screen name. It would be nice to get OE parts and see what the car was really like in 1976 but it's not an option right now. I'm kind of in between Hybridz and here, but with no welder, mill, bandsaw or metal brake.

Just tying up loose ends. I know these sites take some work and can be aggravating at times, but I appreciate having them out here, and appreciate the guys with knowledge who keep coming back to share it.
