    I think PeteS hit it on the head. Your list is pretty short of things to do and you'll definitely get more for the car if you can finish those items... as well as have a detailed list (and pics) what's been done to the car. You don't mention suspension, brakes, etc. Not trying to burst any bubbles, but "everything has been gone through" is subjective and projects in the works are usually a harder sell.

     

    That being said, I like your car and hope you get close to what you want for it.

    From This to This!

    Very nice, and inspiring when it comes to my 280. Your 280 looked really great to start with.

     

    I couldn't agree more on the ginormous 280 bumpers with brackets of doom. While they certainly offer better protection than the 240 bumpers, they're just ugly. The stock bumpers on both 280's I've owned didn't stay on very long.

    Who daily drives their Z without heater/a.c.

    My 240 has no heat, defroster, nor a/c. My 280 has a fan, but it only blows through the center vents. My 260 has heat and defrost, but no a/c. I use my 280 for daily driving. The 240 is more of a weekend car. The 260 will be getting a/c by the end of the year... and will probably be the daily driver at that point. Atlanta humidity is the horrid.

    so my wife got an LS-2 last night

    Yea they came out earlier this year. A true SS' date=' even if it is in a truck body.

     

    And, with a GM supplier discount that brought the price to 300 under invoice plus a $1000 GMS rebate and a $1500 regular rebate, it was an awesome deal![/quote']

     

    Hmm, I get a GM discount through work, but it lists the SS as being exempt from our discount program:icon56:

    Glad I'm not the only one with multiple Z projects. I can feel your pain, guys...

     

    73 240Z - Car is currently sitting due to blown head gasket

    Engine

    Currently getting parts together for new 377 sbc with 6" rods and Vic Jr heads. I already have everything for the short block, but need to get it balanced. Current engine will be put on a stand, where head gaskets will be replaced and bearings checked/etc.

     

    Interior

    Still trying to decide on seats

     

    Exterior

    Waiting to get my Beta Motorsports Cowl Induction hood fitted/painted

     

    78 280Z - Current Daily driver

    Suspension/Brakes

    Brakes were replaced with stock replacement items, with the exception of using stainless braided lines. Replaced the 3.54 r200 with a 4.11 r180 from a nissan pickup. Also installed Suspension Techniques springs and sway bars, Tokico strut cartridges, bumpstops, polyurethane t/c bushings, new ball joints, new tie rod ends, steering rack bushings, steering coupler, bumpsteer spacers, polyurethane mustache bar bushings, stock replacement rear control arm bushings.

     

    Engine

    Replaced injectors and installed JSK fuel rail and aftermarket fpr.

     

    Interior

    Needs new carpet, headliner, seats... badly. I also need to replace my speakers that were stolen a few weeks ago

     

    Exterior

    Have side skirts, rear valence, and kaminari front 240 spoiler. The 280 crash bumpers have been removed. I have a 240 bumper for the front and will use no bumper on the rear. Need to replaced passenger side dogleg. Planning on BMW blue paint- undecided on interlagos or mystic blue.

     

    74 260Z - I recently purchased this car. It's mostly apart now, as was bought from someone who had it in a paint/body shop where very little was done and the owner is planning on moving to Russia. I'm currently working on getting it running so I can get it into my garage and out of my friend's shop.

     

    Future plans

    Painless Wiring 12 circuit kit, subframe connectors, Modern Motorsports coilovers, upgraded brakes, z31 axles, zg flares and 17" CCW's. Undecided on engine... but may MS my leftover 377 and use my spare 200-4r. Also planning on BMW Steel gray for color.

     

    85 Chevy Van

    Planning on getting emissions tested and selling asap.

     

    Too much paint and body work pending...
