Welcome to the site. Good bunch of folks here for help if you need it. From the looks of your car you appear to have things well in hand knowledge wise.

I do have a question though: At speed does the wind whistle areound the legs on that trophy? :stupid:

Thanks, Yea I do just enough to get me in trouble. The car needs a new motor right now. sucks I can't drive it. But like everyone else I'm short on funds so it will have to wait,

Details.

It's a 71 not much rust, 2.8 block,flat tops, cam, stock s/u's 280ZX 5 sp,

3.9 nissan comp r180 diff, Toyota brakes up front, Have rear disc set up just need to put them on the car. tociko springs $ struts. Interrior has recaro seats, black tweed/silver suede. same on the door panels. All new carpet, Nice sounds, Oh and LOTS of chrome and billet under the hood. I have some interior shots I can post also.

I had the car repainted 3 years ago. Mercedes benz silver. When I did that I removed all the glass and instaled all new rubber. I have had this car for about 6 years, I've been into datsuns for at least 15 years now. I Have another Z(71 240 race car.) And I just finished a 510 wagon that I'm quite proud of.

Thanks guys.
