Learning for daughter's 280

[shortystowing]

I was given a Datsun 280Z runs/drives tagged and inspected so all that is good, but it has been in an accident and I am having to locate front end parts: hood, bumper, grill, headlight "extension" and a few other things.

My daughter and I are going to do all of the work ourselves. We rock crawl and mud our Suzuki samurais and have plenty of mechanical experience, but I NOTHING about Z cars. We are in the Houston area and would love to meet up with a few people that knows this car in & out to help with knowledge.

Any thing I need to be worried about? rust, cracks, frame sections?

You need to make the acquaintance of Doug Bakke of Awesome Z in Houston. Top Z wrench in the state.

Also, check into the Z Club of Houston. Lottsa talent in that organization....
