hey I'm new to the site. This forum has very good information in it, can't wait to dig deeper into it than what I have so far.

 

I have exterior, engine, and a few interior pictures for now, I'll take more when I get a chance!

 

I ripped out all the interior, except for the dash and the kick panels covering the ECU and Fuse block!

 

Soon the tape deck player, AC/Heat, and a few other items, will be removed also.

 

I sprayed it night before last night, jet black. I think the paint job looks decent, for someone who has never used a paint gun before. I need to go back and do a few touch ups here and there.

 

No performance mods yet, well it does have a after market intake and spark plug wires, and a 10" or 12" Electric fan (removed clutch fan), thats it that I can think of.

 

anyways, here is my project I'm working on... A 1982 280zx, 5-speed, it runs and drives great! I don't know much more about it yet. But I'm working on it.

 

Actually my friend picked it up for $300., and its his car, but our project. But anyways, here are the pictures... just click on the thumbnail for a larger 800x600 image!

ok so heres what were doing right now...

 

Were deciding between multiple engines right now.

 

1) Turbo the L28E (Stock motor)- 222000 miles, strong motor, but old, Parts expensive, and hard to find

2) Chevy small block 350- American Muscle (I Guess!), strong, parts easy to find and inexpensive

3) 1JZ Supra motor- Expensive motor, after market support strong, parts expensive as crap. (We have a 1JZ bottom end, all we need is the head, oil pans, oil pump, water pump, wiring harness, ecu, etc.)

4) S13 SR20DET- very common swap (for many cars), parts are very inexpensive and very easy to find, after market support very strong.

 

Was going to do a poll, but I can't seem to find it now.

 

So help a friend out and help us decide on what motor we should do.

 

Just list the number and the motor in your post. (Ex. 3) 1JZ Supra motor)

 

BTW, does anyone know anyone is is trying to sell a 1JZ or 2JZ Head??? Let me know!
