Guest bfurches Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hello to evryone. Name is Brandon and this is my first 280zx. I picked up the Datsun about four months ago from a good friend who had tinkered with the car but lost interest. I purchased the vehicle for only 400.00 and drove it home. As soon as I got to my house....the strippage began The entire car was gutted. Interior was originally tan and someone along the way decided to rattle-can the vinyl black. Needless to say it was less than attractive and ended up in the trash. The cloth seats were torn and the carpet was extremely soiled which also found its way to the nearest garbage container. The dash was removed (along with the cap which previous owner had decided to glue into place). As the night rolled in we all realized that the car was a fairly solid roller for a Z. It did have typical rot on the corners of the rockers and front floor near the firewall, but overall not to shabby. The very next day we pulled the motor, trans, rear suspension and dif. It was at this point that the vehicle was put on the back burner and not touched until now due to family priorities. Here are a few pics to hold you over for now. These were taken the day I drove the car home. Notice all the bondo at my friends attempt to fill dents???...many more with info on my build as I go.
