Most of what I plan to do is performace 1st, looks 2nd. That being said, what should I be looking for cosmetically?

Thanks for the response guys. I'll keep my eye out for some pre-76 Zs out here. I think I'll try and find a relatively good shape Z car that runs, and get out the money pit shovel. LA. Weathers great, emissions sucks. Oh well.

Hi guys, I'm looking to finally get a Datsun Z. I'm just wondering where is a good place to start? I am currently looking at a few different Z's–all in different price ranges and conditions. What would be the better option? A pristine Z all restored or a somewhat beater that has a few rust holes here and there? I know some of those "restored" Z's run all the way up to 25k, but I have seen some really nice ones going for around 7-9k. I plan on doing an engine swap at some point as well as an update to all the usual components (suspension, brakes, etc). If you had to do it all over again, where would you guys start? Thanks.

Thanks! I'll give him a call.

Hi all, New to the site. I was thinking of doing an LS conversion, do you know of any shops that does chassis work in the LA area? I want the car set up for handling, not drag racing. Thanks!
