1980 280ZX 10 anniversary car, red black
I tried to log in at Hagerty and look but was unsuccessful. I would start there. You could also look at completed Ebay auctions to see what similar cars are actually selling for. I suspect the upcharge for the special edition is not exorbitant so other similar condition cars should be a good reference point

I need some paint help!
When drying air, remember the air is hot coming out of the compressor. The smaller the compressor, the hotter it is. It needs distance to cool. More line or hose will help. You need a regulator at the gun to make sure you can get the gun set properly. You can also run a couple of loops of hose through a cooler full of ice. Then put a water trap right after the cooler. Then a desiccant dryer right near the gun. You need good dry air or you'll struggle to get good results. It sort of looks like a water spit to me but it can be hard to tell remotely

What is your air source? How are you drying it?

So easy to do suspension work when you can spin the car!

Don't get rid of the radio, even if it doesn't work! They are getting quite valuable and there are people out there who rebuild them.

Pumping SUs really doesn't help without the starter spinning. There is no accelerator pump in an SU like many classic cars had

How to check Fuel lines and tank ?
I would pull that tank and check it before I put fuel in it! 50/50 it holds fuel, maybe less

Waking the Sleeping Beast Part II - 50 years later !!
The ballast resistor reduces the current the points in the distributor see. They last longer that way. Main fuse box is in the center console. Only other over current devices are the fuseable links. If the battery is charged it will start and run without the alternator or most any of the lights

What is this in the 1971 240z ??
I agree with others, dont go chopping on anything. Find the thread on "waking the sleeping beast". Work through those steps before attempting to start it. Also its best not to start multiple threads. It makes it hard for others to help you

So I have a question... How have you confirmed TDC? Not by marks or some other, but true TDC?

Do I need a bumper?
I would rather damage the bumper or nose of the hood versus building up a bumper reinforcement and damaging the frame. Condensers and radiators are easy to deal with

Z's on BAT and other places collection
I thought it was $54,500? DId I misread it? Still a very respectable car and not nearly as correct as some here... @Zup Never mind it must have updated or something. Almost 70k for a "lowly" 73'! Superb!!

Radon systems typical ventilate under foundations, slabs or in basements. Can be complicated to retro fit but obviously worth it in some areas
