Edit- Sorry, my mistake, I have a regular L28E. Oops. But if you want one of those DIRT cheap... send me a PM.

They did rally Z cars you know, in 2wd... http://www2.zhome.com:81/History/rally.htm It sounds like all you want to do is build a car to wail on in a field. If that's the case, you could put an LSD in it (or weld the diff) and be just fine. We used to play with an '86 Cutlass in a friend's field, with a 305 4bbl and an open diff. It moved plenty fast for messing around in a field, trust me.

DAMN the white car looks good. Is that turbo stripe down near the rocker factory? I can't remember ever seeing one before (or maybe I didn't notice it, it's quite dramatic/good looking against the white).

Yeah, I dig the valve cover too. Who's signature is on the wheel? Doesn't look like Bob Sharp to me, but I can't read it either.

Haha, your starting point was way nicer than mine. Cool Z!

Awesome car, and I love the original green. Keep up the good work!

Holy hell, that is awesome. I am completely jealous. More pictures/info!

Does seem like a pretty decent deal.

Soooo.... pics! Progress!

And it's a roadster now! Yeah, this one won't be saved. I was a *tad* mislead about it's condition when I went to get it. Ugh. It shall die so that others may live, but I'm taking pretty much everything I can off of it just in case I, or someone else, may need it. So if you need something... let me know. Got a complete good roof with T-tops that don't leak!

I should probably share just how totally awesome my rear engined 280ZX is.

WOW that is gorgeous!

Interesting idea. My 300 is a pillarless hardtop, the way Chrysler went about it was to have a stainless steel piece with some felt on it extend out from the edge of the window on both the door and quarter window and have them just overlap each other when the door was closed. The quarter window goes down diagonally instead of straight up and down as well. I don't think there's enough room in the Z quarter panel for that window to go down though- maybe it could slide backwards at an angle into the C-pillar?

Yeah, I had something similar at the DMV myself in Cali. They didn't want any information from me, just a few bucks and I had a temp plate. Weird.

How's it coming along then? Any updates?
