Charlie78Z

I am pleased to have found this site, it seems like a great site with helpful folks. Thanks for being here. I bought my 280Z new in 1978, one of the last because the 280ZX was showing up at dealers and I didn't like the new look. I have been the only mechanic to work on the car other than some oil changes, 212,000 miles now. Everything has been opened, inspected, replaced, or rebuilt except the 5 speed manual transmission. The body is good and the car is basically stock. I do have the the driveline clunk again, not sure if it is the transmission mount again.... I need to look into that. Otherwise the car is mechanically solid. The body is great too, having rust proofed it with oil many times, and kept it off the road during winter in recent years. I am about to do some cosmetic work on the interior. New dash cover, etc. I am off to use the search function to see if someone has retrofitted the stock driver's seat with a power seat from another car. I'd like to have power seat base for up/down, forward/back, and tilt. I look forward to learning things here and perhaps sharing some of what I have learned about this neat little car. Thanks, Curtis
