quickgt Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Im going this Saturday to look at a 78 280Z. Ive never owned one but my dad had a 72 240Z with a SBC in 1982. I need to know what to look for when checking this car out. I know of the typical front frame rail rust in front of the front wheels, floor pan rust and rocker rust but are there any more place prone to rust on these? Any other issues I need to look for? Thanks alot. Im very excited to get this car home and start on my LT1 conversion. Edited November 4, 2011 by quickgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 the tire whel in the hatch, inside the doors at the bottom, the battery tray, cracks on the dash if you care about that, make sure all the gauges work behind the rear bumper from underneath you can see rust.
