tolerate Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I'm thinking about starting a project in restoring a 1982 280zx. It's selling for 2650 and the engine sounds fine. the interior is all kinds of f*cked up though. the gauges/instruments are mostly not working, one t-top window is cracked, there is rusted out areas near the back wheels, cracked dash, and 50% of the interior plastic is chipped, broken, or missing. Performance wise the transmissions feels solid and the engine sounds great for a 160k mile car, however, the AC/Heater isn't working. I've been scouring the web for a couple of days trying to get a restoration estimate. Help me experienced masters of z-car restoration, you're my only hope.

tecreatta Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 If your hoping to have someone else do the restoration work on your car I suggest you run as far in the opposite direction as possible. I've been collecting mint stock replacement interior parts for four years now and have 3/4 of all the parts collected. Its rough. Weekly visits to the junkyard. 2600 is a little much for 2+2 s130 in that condition. In my neck of the woods thats an $800 Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnum44 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I would totally agree with tecreatta. and being a 2+2 does not help. Most people prefer the coupe all day, me included , good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
