I've been lurkign here for a while, then i finally made an account to see some of the pictures. Then after looking and looking I finaly found somebody in my area with a Z.......I live in Dalton,Ga and arround here I've seen 2.......and one of them is MINE!!!
My sister-in-law's mother has the rusty 78 280Z in her back yard and she just GAVE it to me !!! The engine just needs a battery and a fuel rail and she'll be driving arround. I'm going to pick it up this saturday and bring it to it's new home.
During my search I found a guy in Dayton, TN that gave me his 1980 280ZX!! Again for FREE! Though the body has surface rust, engine that is shot, and looks like the rear-end is on the gound it was a steal.
I've traded the 80 280ZX to a friend of mine with the working engine of the 78 Z for his services to repair and paint my 78 280Z. Think thats fair? We thought so.
I have finaly decided to go with a SR20DET engine swap. This is my winter project that I'm excited to start. I have Z FEAVER!
I do have a question though. There is a silver front bumper peice that I see on almost all of the Z's here have. All of the cars have aftermarket bumpers. What is that called and where can I get it?
I'll post pics on saturday.
