Hello,

Just picked up my first Z project. I have had a 280ZX and a 300Z turbo in the past but those were just transient cars. Neither lasted more than 3 months in my stable.

My new Z though has been in my sights for more than 20 years. A neighbor had it in his garage after stripping in down for a paint job that he never finished. I moved away and returned to this town a year ago and the car was still in his garage. A deal was made and the car is now mine.

It is a 1975 280Z. White Black interior 4 speed A/C

It has been repainted with the exception of the hood. The hood is in primer.

So far I have removed the gas tank with 20 year old gas. Too bad gas does not age like Scotch! I have freed up the fuel pump and will replace the rubber fuel lines.

The car came with NOS weather stripping, seals, bumpers and bumper rubber. The engine appears to have had some work done to the top end in it's 143K miles. It has a header but no other external mods that I can see.

I think that I will start a thread with a log of the progress of the project if there is interest.

Welcome Michael! It sounds like an interesting project that you are sure to have fun with. We like nothing more than to follow along with the progress of the members projects. If you scroll to the top of the page you will see a relatively new feature added to the site, under the heading of Blogs. It looks to be the easiest way for you to maintain a log of your progress. Great group of people here with an immense knowledge base that can be accessed through the search feature. If a question comes up, chances are it's been answered before and a quick search will be helpful. Great to have you aboard!
