Project " Saving the Old Lady "

ant: i can try to help one or 2 things on the 280z coz i am also restoring my 280zx. weather strip and door seals are a pain in the butt to get coz i am also trying to source it from US. if you need help like break pumps, break seals, gear pump, absorber, and rest of the itsy bitsy stuff i can help. coz i am also learning... including spending lots of $$$$$

was just browsing through this pages and everything was all 'wowww' and 'woohooo' on the awesomeness of the effort for the Z lady from u guys...saluteee!!!

Am getting one of this babes soon (final level of decision) from a close fren of mine - a 82' T roof 280ZX collecting uncountable dust in he's garage....so am planning to break my piggy bank on this one...

yes its a collectible but im not a classic car ethusiast and im just planning to enjoy the muscle car look of it with probably a RB25/26 for the meat...

your comments on the idea is really much appreciated.. (do it / dont do it / keep it stock / too expensive and the list goes on)

sorry if i just barge in to this page like this but yea...must admit i dun quite have any other place to go...heheheheheh

thanks in advance guyss!! cheers...

restoring a piece of crap on the street to such a thing of beauty. hats off.

just wished you'd grace this thread with more pics of your lady, which i'm sure all of us are interested in seeing.

Was wondering though, how did you claim ownership of the chassis?
It's not exactly a sale with no owner to transfer it to you, i suppose you let some JPJ runner do it for you?
