I don't have current pics but I think I win when it comes to getting an awesome initial deal.

 

My dad's friend hooked me up on a sweet Z after I graduated boot camp in the Marine Corps (he had way too many projects going on and I had been begging him to sell the Z for the past 3 years).

 

The car was a 73 240Z with a 3.1 stroker, triple Mikuni 44s, 280Z 5 speed/rear end, header, Tokico adjustables, shaved trim/lights, and a few other stuff. The car had newer paint and no rust (I've checked under body panels and I had on a lift to check other areas, etc..) Perfect interior too...no cracks/rips, etc.. Price $500

 

So far I've put on a new 3" exhaust (JIC Racing TI) ($500), carbon fiber bumpers/BRE wing ($1000), threaded coilovers with sectioned struts ($1300), and Longchamp Xr4 rims in 15x8 -14 with Toyo tires ($1500).

 

SO I'm just under $5000 for everything.

Back from the grave!

 

'75 280Z-2500

 

Maintenance-800

Twice Pipes-300

 

Annnnnd I haven't done a whole lot to it :mrgreen:

 

The springs and struts were already done, as were the seats, steering wheel, and a complete carpet kit I have yet to install. Floors will be prepped this week and I will be ordering a quiet ride dampening kit to install. The stereo hasn't been done yet either and I'm figuring it will probably run me 600 to do it the way I want it.

 

I WILL be under 5k for a dd but I am no where done with the build. LS swaps aren't all that cheap haha.

 

Let's see some other builds guys!
