I would like my total invesment to be under $10k. I'm capable of doing most repairs unless it requires specialized tools. I'm comfortable with anything on the outside of the motor, but any internals i would likely hire out.

Thanks for the input. I'm really after a fun daily driver for decent weather. This would fit the bill as long as it ran better and wasn't leaking from the roof. I may go take another look and then start price negotiations.

i've been driving by this Z car for about a week and it's calling to me. It's a 1983 280zx non turbo. They are asking $6900 for it. While the body is in great condition, there is a little bit of rust starting at the top of the windshied in the middle. When i opened the radiator, there was some rust in the fluid, but seemed to hold fluid. The engine compartment was fairly clean. Interior was in pretty good condition. The headliner was falling down and the T tops were definitely leaking. Then engine wouldn't push past about 3500-4k. I'm thnking it should be more around $4k. What are your thoughts?
