Getting my first Z

[GLOCK23]

Well here are the pics of the '75 280Z that will be mine soon (free). How bad is the rust on the body? Any tips or advice on dealing with the rust?

Don't know about the rust issue, but you can't beat the price!

the car hasn't been used for a long time. The last time they started the motor was on February of 06 and it started up fine. Since then the car has just been sitting there.

and enjoy yourself, besides the rust, she is a thing of beauty.
