Hey im Omar im 16 and got a sweet deal on this 1978 280z in good condition with minimal rust. I bought it for $500 which i think was a steal! I finally started to do stuff on it and in the future im going to drop in a turbo engine in it once i have the money. Its going to be a daily driver fun fun with atleast 300-400hp once i buy a turbo engine.
This is the day after when i got.
The interior
This is before i strip the interior
Starting to clean the interior
I got this original dash with no cracks for ONLY $100 from some old man. This was by far my best deal ever!
It is beautiful
These are the original seats that i took to get them upholstered. I took the two seats, panels, dog legs, and some panel in the back. The guy said that nothing works on the frame of the seats, so he redid everything and only cost me $400. I think its well worth it. He did a great job. Im going to take my car to him so he can put the carpet in the future.
I have two original panels and two other that the upholster did, which ones look better?
Well i didn't have the money to buy new panels that are in good condition, so i spray painted my tan panels to flat black. they look great in my opinion.
i sanded the interior and then used rubberized undercoating.
These are the tools i used to take off the undercoating that made it a piece of cake to take off the undercoating and paint. Air needle gun, wire wheel, and paint guns.
I started using the needle gun and i took off almost all the undercoating from the differential and back. I started to drop the suspension to paint and put new bushings.
These are the poly bushings
This is the rust bullet paint, it is pretty expensive, but i will be putting that under the car.
