1976 280Z Restoration Project

Been away for a while. Is this car done yet? Winter is coming!

[wheee!]

Ha! I have had a very busy spring with military exercises and then major yard renovations this spring/summer. Just finished the yard work this week.
I am being deployed again in two weeks for a month and a half, THEN I promise, I will get back in the garage and have some progress for you fine Z folks!
This is a lull, not a stoppage, guaranteed!

Ok! Had to check. Your thread is a vicarious thrill for those of us who find car restoration fun and interesting!

Thats just an excuse to hoot around on that yard tractor, but now without the snow chains I realise the climate probably nedds it, but that thing just cracks me up.

Be safe on your next mission.

Well I couldn't resist a great local deal and picked up barely used black vinyl seat covers from @zKars in Calgary. This community is so nice and friendly!

here's a pic from Jim of his (my) seat covers in his gorgeous 71

Some bad spots passenger side.

Cleaned off the flash rust from the passenger floor pan prior to installation later.

Glad you're back!
