    currently I live in Charlotte NC, but will be relocating to the Dallas area this summer. I believe the family (ie wife) wants to move to the Plano area. I have a blue 77 280 ( there are a few pictures in my gallery) would definitely want to meet some folks once I am in the area. Always looking for helpful hints/suggestions on what to do to my toy. currently as you can see from my pictures, I need a front quater panel, head light casing, and a new front bumper before I can realistically think about driving it on a regular basis. the interior is decent, but obviously will be fixed up. What I am most worried about is any unforeseen rust. Looking for suggestions as to how to check for the unseen problem. I can say though that I drive it every weekend around the neighborhood, and everything works. Jeff

  3. beandip - being that computer support is what I do for a living, I would have to say that you have already been given the advice you need. Get Ad-Ware

    Okay, so the pictures are in my gallery. Since i am very new to this, I am hoping for any suggestions/tips on where to begin. :stupid: On the drivers side, there is rust on the underside where the missing quarter panel and door meet. Should i assume that there is a lot more rust, and if so does it make sense to start tearing the car apart. The car runs, and has been driven occassionally for the last 6 years, before the quarter panel was damaged. I appreciate any assistance you guys can provide.

    I finally got my hands on my brothers 280. I uploded some pictures for everybody to look at today 6/8. I don't know how long it takes for them to be approved. Let me know what you think once their available. Outside of the left front quarter panel missing (he decide to wreck it right before he gave it to me), its in pretty decent shape. Dashboard not cracked, all gauges work, only one spot of rust just underneath the drivers door. Everything else as expected for a 26 yr old car. Oh Yeah! You did read that right, he did not charge me anything for the car. He just wanted to be done with it :stupid: Any and all opinons are wanted. Thanks

    I have to fix my drivers side door handle. Doesn't always catch when closing. I assume I am going to have to remove the door panel. What is this special door panel tool you guys are refering too (I know, I know, stuipd question) :stupid: but I am fairly new to this project car thing. Thanks

    beandip - thanks for the informative reply. Unfortunately I won't have the car in my possession until tomorrow :mad: The PO (my younger brother) informed me of this issue, he said that he has noticed it for awhile, just never got around to fixing it. Since this is the first project car i have ever owned, i thought i would look for some advice as to where to begin my search to fix the problem. Now I at least have a starting place, Thanks.

    I am experiencing a heavy exhaust odor from my 280. I think it might be a crack near the manifold. Just wondering if anybody has any suggestions on how to tackle the problem. I am hoping I can fix it myself.

    I would have to agree with most of the replies that you have received. You definitely want to check around on insurance rates, but if you can swing the insurance for the Z than I would get the Z. The Z will bring lots of time spent fixing various things, but ultimately you will have so much more enjoyment owning a great car that you will have for years and years and years Jeff

    you have mail.. thanks
  18. Craig - I am actually looking for a car as opposed to parts, can you give me any information as to the cars that you might have for sale. Thanks Jeff jpaciolla@carolina.rr.com
  19. I agree with 2ManyZ's bring it to the east coast. I live in NC, and am looking for a 240. It would make it much easier to purchase if the car was already on the east coast Jeff

    Very nice looking color. can't wait to see the finished product. Jeff
  21. Great looking car. you will definitely enjoy that one. Jeff
  22. jpac posted a post in a topic in Introductions
    That is definitely one cool Z. Jeff
  23. I would definitely be more inclined to buy a T Shirt that has a small logo of some kind on the front, and something bigger on the back. Like the second and third examples. Just my opinion. Jeff
