Just Bought a 1980 280zx

[mrhank]

Hi guys! No stranger to car forums here. A little background on me, I am an A&P Aircraft Mechanic and work for the Navy as a Civilian. I work on Beechcraft T-34c Turboprops I went to a vocational school to get the license and have been working this job for almost 2 years since I have gotten out. I have rebuilt both an airplane recip motor which are very similar to air cooled VW and Subaru motors for those who don't know and a Geo Metro. Ive got a good amount of experience when it comes to tearing in to things and am always willing to learn more.

Anywho now for the Z

I live in california. Buying something used or older atleast in my area can be pretty expensive for some reason when compared to other parts of the US idk why this is but it is how it is. The owners of the Z I just bought wanted 2700 originally but I talked them down to 1500. They accepted the offer after an hour or so and called me back. Its got a few issues that need to be addressed; none the less I went in to this with the mindset that It needs work.

Im supposed to be picking it up tomorrow.
