    L28et

    Anyone selling a l28et motor ? Thank you I'm in Louisiana but if willing to ship I am still interested.
  3. Kind of hard to see the rust spots I'll have to take a better.pic Tomorow but it's by the door and at the bottom of that fender .. Pretty sure there is more once the paint comes off though.
  4. Yea ! Thank god my job is a government one lol And hell no ! I've seen videos and read up on the work that comes with the floor pans that's not a task just anyone can do and say it's easy lol I'm glad he's doing it instead of me lol. Yea that's exactly what I've heard. The motors our so there won't be that temptation to drive it.. Had that done to me in my z32 guy drove it hit a pot hole and went off the road. Damaged the radiator somehow and acted like nothing happened lol.
  5. Right now in south Louisiana the economy is taking a huge hit from the oil prices so there have been tons of people who are just looking for work plus it happens to be a guy that's related to my good friend so I got s bit of sa deal. And will do! It's not to bad now but just the few spots of rust are killing it..
  6. Thanks for the info guys I've done a bit more looking around and I found a guy who has a shop that can do a complete restore on the car for 3500 including cutting and welding in new floor pans And frame rails as well as painting it after. I think I'll end up going that route instead of buying Fiberglass parts.
  7. If I were to replace with fiberglass it would be Fenders Rear bumper that goes below the big bumper. Hood Headlight buckets. I'll either do this or try to find a shop that can do cut and weld in new metal. I've been asking around and most places won't touch it they only want insurance jobs from accidents. I found one shop but the guys price is around 100$ a hour and I think that's probably a little on the high end.
  8. I picked up a 1978 datsun 280z last year for $450 I kind of just jumped on it because of the price and how it had everything there. With work and my wife having a baby I haven't been able to touch it until recently. As I started working on it I've noticed a few things.. Floor pans are rusted .. Passenger side is gone completely so I've decided to purchase the floor pans from zedd findings with the frame rails ( passenger side is toast) also my passenger side door has 2 rust holes were I am assuming the guy put mirrors on it then took it off leaving the holes open to everything and it rusted pretty good. The next part is the rear bumper area which doesn't look to stable especially where the exhaust comes out and the last bit of rust that I have is the passenger side fender at the bottom. I've been looking at places like rhdjapan which sells the fiberglass replacement parts for these and also retro-spec who also sells fiberglass parts. My questions is I know regardless of which path I take I know it'll cost money but just wondering what your guys opinions are on this ? Should I keep these parts metal and send it to a shop to get fixed up ? Or should I replace these parts with fiberglass ? Car will just be a weekend fun car that I'll occasionally take to meets. It's pretty hard finding anyone in Louisiana who does restoration on vehicles so that's another factor I'll have to consider.. Any advice or past experiences are appreciated.. I've got the motor up and moving now just got to get the car in a drivable state!
  9. I have a 1978 Datsun 280z that I am restoring and before it goes into paint id like to replace the worst rusted parts and those are the front passenger side fender and the gas door if anyone has these let me know I am located in Louisiana. im willing to travel to surrounding states as long as its a reasonable distance. I appreciate it. josh
  10. Appreciate it man! I'm about to search your build now. It'll be a fun build now I'm just rebuilding the motor and getting it ready for when it's ready to be dropped in.
  11. As the car sits... Will be doing a paint job after the winter in a midnight blue pearl/tk3 mix color.
