Well I am not a new person to any point of the vehicle hobby I have owned everything from old VW's to classic GM products. Through a trad I am now delving into Z cars I have always liked them but never purchased one. I own a 78 280 which I am in the process of making it a driver.

I started cleaning up the engine and replacing the Valve cover gasket and intake gasket as well as the radiator and water pump and thermostat.

Nice find and welcome to the club. The members here are eager to share their knowledge with others. Check out the forums on whatever Z topic you wish. You'll find hours worth of reading there.
