First time Z owner

[zewald]

Hey guys.

I'm Zach. i've been in love with Z's since i was, oh, let's see, 10. a neighbor had a silver one that in retrospect was probably stock, but i thought it was a car from the future!!! i loved that thing. i'd chase after it every time he drove by. i loved the sound and the way it looked.

So this january, i bought a 75 280Z from a guy for $600. it was a HELL of a deal and sometimes i feel kinda bad about it, but then i kick myself back to reality and thank God for what i got. it's not running yet, (and those who've seen my other post know why) but when it's all said and done, i'll have a black/grey/green interior and a 240 green paint job. i'm hoping to replace the exhaust system and sub in a cherry bomb muffler, man i love those things. oh, my grandfather has been carving and working hardwoods for nearly 40 years, and so some of the interior panels will be replaced with maple stained and varnished an opaque green. i'm seriously excited about this project, and although i'm expecting it to take a good 5-10 years, any suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated.

I can already tell this is a great group of people, and i hope to meet some of you on the road to admire each other's work.

Cheers,

Zach
