Datsun 280ZX
by Datsunbelievable Sun Aug 12, 2012 3:52 pm
This is our new project car. She's a lil rough around the edges but with lots of time and love she'll be good in no time! I'll post pictures of things as they get done.
Plans so far:
Paint it black or yellow
Make rims shiney new again
Straight pipe exhaust, add Mine's muffler that's been in our closet for a year.
Re-do tint.
Remove backseats
Add some kind of roll-cage
And obviously, we need to get it running good first. The clutch is dead so gotta order a new master and slave cylinder and hopefully that's the solution.
The car does run though, and she runs pretty good!

I should also mention the car was free.... the only money it cost was to put gas in the truck to haul it home 
I'll have to try and upload the video of it running... it rumbles like a beast.

That's an older model... I believe the 79s? had the mirrors on the hood. But ya, we had plans for something like that.
Either that or just straight up black or straight up yellow.
No plans to add anything to the body...if anything, might see what it looks like without the big bumpers haha.

I'm gonna see if I can get the current rims to look chromey again, and paint those brown spots black or something.
If not... new rims it is.
