I was thinking House of Kolors "true Blue Pearl Shimrin" .I used to have a car that color and it looks very similar.

I went through the same thing with the MOMO pedals. Here's what I did:
I got some thin foam pad to put between the gas pedals. This helps the curve differences. I was thinking about trying to bend the pedal, but I didn't want to damage anything.
Get a longer screw for the hole that is over the rod. Trim the back of the screw as flush as possible once it's installed so that it doesn't snag on the carpet. I did this first and it worked just fine. A few days later, I couldn't leave good enough alone, I tried taking a small grinder to the rod so the screw could be even more flush on the back but this was just a bunch of unneccesary work if you ask me.
On more thing I did was trim the oem gas pedal so the would be the same length. On my set the MOMO pedal was about 2in. shorter than the oem. I guess Italians have small feet...
Hope this helps. I'll try and get some pics. My car is in pieces right now so we'll see....

brake proportioning valve, maybe....?

I would say go ahead and get a gas cylinder while you're at it. You will be much happier with the finished result over flux core. And also start looking around for supplies to make a power/ext cord. Some 10/3 wire and the right ends will do the trick. Nothing worse than having a new toy and not being able to play with it because it's got no juice.
One thing I would NOT recommend buying is a cart for it. This will make a nice "first" project for you! Have fun, I wish you were closer, I am selling my MM175

Road trips are always fun! Are you taking a friend along or at least a truck and trailer? Make sure you are prepared to buy the car if you really want it, no sense in making 2 trips, right? Good luck with the car!

I have that same set-up, nice kit indeed. I used oem Ford wheels off a '99 GT 17x8 wheels no problem on all 4 corners. 17x9 would be colse in the rear but you should be ok if you have your fenders rolled. Keep in mind this is with coil-overs, so hurry up and get that done. I believe the tires that were on there were 245-45-17 if memory serves right. I don't have those wheels/tires anymore so I can't go in the garage to verify, but I'm pretty sure that's what it was. Hope this helps.

Hey man it sounds like a good day! Like the others have said take your time and get to know her, it sounds like you're on the right path now. But be sure to finish stages 2.5 through 5 before you get too deep and the car gets put on the back burner. Not that I'm speeking from experience or anything ......

If you're having a hard time finding used fenders in good condition you can always get some new nissan fenders from Courtesy Nissan. They have 240z fenders so I imagine they still have 280z fenders as well.

Here's another one to look at. The ThermalDyne Thermal Arc TA 185TSW. I don't own one of these (yet) but they get great reviews over on the forums at www.hobartwelders.com
Not much more than what you already have to spend

Have you checked the rear shoes/pads? It could be they are completely gone and you can't tell because the front brakes are doing all the work under normal braking.....?
