The shop I work at just purchased an 83 280zx t-top turbo 2+2 for $500. This is strictly going to be a track only car. NO STREET! So lets get started with the game plan and etc. etc. The floorpans are almost flintstoned and the "frame rails", well I won't even call them that, need to be replaced. We picked it up and drove her home though.....
Placed her up on corner scales to see what kinda diet we could go on....
Overall - 2880lbs
Stripped out the interior, dash, seats, carpet, console, door panels, rear interior panels, and blower motor so far.....
Placed her back on the corner scales....
Overall - 2593lbs
So we have lost 287lbs so far. Plenty more to go. Currently this is how we sit. Only 2 days into it. Tommorrow the engine and trans comes out.
