Workinprogress Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I just got my most recent purchase delivered today. Its a 75 280Z, it has a blown head gasket and is a previous theft recovery. There's a bit of rust under the battery, which I will kill with some elbow grease and POR 15 this weekend. The body is very straight and all doors and hatches/hoods close well and panel gaps are equal all around. I'll see about uploading some pics.

CruxGNZ Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I second that, just as long as the other side looks the same. Nice Z for the price! !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Workinprogress Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 Both sides look like the one above. I've taken about 60 pictures of it now, (of various underbody areas etc...) The frame rails are untouched and still has the undercoating on them. There are two body drain plugs out on the passenger side just behind the seat, but those and a very recent (probably from the guy getting it here) scrape on the undercoating on that side is it as far as the body goes. It does look like there's a bit of rust on the sway bars, crossmembers etc... Those look like they were washed in salt. The inner fenders look real nice and inside the rear quarters looks brand new.

EZ-E Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 That is so rude to tease us with such a froogle buy, great deal though I must say, well worth the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Workinprogress Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 Thanks for the replies, now I just have to keep from screwing this one up. This makes up in small part for the rust buckets I've bought the last two times. Ez-E, I feel your pain. I've been so frustrated on not being able to find a decent car for awhile, then this one drops in my lap. (did I forget to mention that this car was transported 60 miles and delivered by the previous owner free of charge!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Workinprogress Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 It came with a matching spare (with a blown out tire though, lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just goes to show that some of us (the entire Z community) cheap bastards can find success. Great find. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
