Finally got some shots of my Z

I happen to like the OEM bumpers on the the later Zs. IMO they visually extend the nose. If looked at in profile, the line of the hood can be continued forward and actually meets that big front bumper. Do wish it was lighter.

Great job and a gorgeous car as a result of an excellent find and a lot of hard work. I had a '77 280Z as well (in 1977) and enjoyed the article.

Great looking car!  

 

I still think it's interesting how all of the late 260's and 280Z's have a crooked LH grille turn signal.  Both of my cars look that way and I've seen lots of photos on this site and others with the same crooked signal.  You have to wonder how it slipped through the QC process for so many model years.
