wow, what a blast from the past! Who the hell brought this up?
Well, I ended up buying an 81 280zx that december, blew the headgasket a month later. Pulled it in january, found out that the PO had used gasket maker all over the head :dead: Had a hard time putting it all back together (f54 with n42!), since I had no experience. Then I found out that the car had a mechanic's lien on it (the PO lied about it...) and basically, a car for parts. A friend offered me a little money for it, but i just couldnt...
The day I finished putting everything together, right after bolting on the head, i went to the local z club's annual meet. Long story short, for a $10 raffle ticket I won a 1972 240z :nervous: it now has n42/n42 l28, dual round top su's, sport suspension, and minor mods here and there. It's my daily, and I love it. I've done all the work on it myself (with some help) and plan to keep it forever.
