RedEvilrps13 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Ok, I'm going to be 100% honest, I won't be surprised if no one on here remembers me, BUT! I finally got another 280, although this time its not a 2/2. The day has finally come....or should I say Round 2. Hopefully some of you may remember me from Airjockie's bbq from earlier this year, and I kept rambling oooooooooon and ooooooooon about how much I miss my 78 280 2+2 and that I was searching for one for cheap...... ......my search is over. and how. 400$ and a trip to berwick maine and I am the proud owner of a 1978 280z 2 seater. I am beyond happy. Is she perfect? Is any 400$ car? NO. But she's in alot better shape than my 2/2 was when I first got it, so I'm already one step ahead lol I only took two picks when I went to go look at her for the first time, so here ya go! I can't wait to get her home so I can start tinkering and get her running! Oh and she has a full drivetrain (automatic trans unfortunately), but the engine won't start, and to even get it to crank you need to run a jumper wire from the battery to the starter. No biggie, and she needs some body work, but I am finally in possession of another Z. I'm in love alllllll over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I remember you, and was wondering where you were. Glad you're not dead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean111 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) Wow, is that a bumper on the back, or a tailgate? Edited September 14, 2010 by Sean111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Wow, is that a bumper on the back, or a tailgate? It's actually a bench seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19762802+2 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 It's actually a bench seat. That doubles as a Tool bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedEvilrps13 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 yeah I'm still alive, I've just been searching everywhere for a deal like this. Trust me, that kitchen counter/pizza box holder of a rear bumper is going to be one of the first things gone, as well as putting alot of the parts I have sitting around from my last Z (Xenon air dam, Toyota brake upgrade). Once the body work is over with (needs rockers and fenders to start) I plan on having her sprayed the same color she is now, as I love dark british racing green-esque colors. By the way, the site has definitely changed since I've been here, its definitely a cool layout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Hey there! I remember your sig... haha I just picked up a new 78 coupe, we're starting our new projects around the same time. It's a race! Oh and I've already got my "body line" trim off and bumpers are coming off tonight, so you have some catching up to do Edited September 15, 2010 by FlatBlack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I've already got my "body line" trim off and bumpers are coming off tonight, so you have some catching up to do Hey not fair, I haven't picked mine up yet. I pick it up saturday, and I can't wait to start! I just can't think of a good licence plate for it, I usually do video game or random plates but I can't think of anything. For example, my 72 Baja Bug has the plate "Haduken", you know Ryu's fireball from street fighter. I love your username btw, my 240sx was flat black inside and out!! So glad I got rid of that car though, I prefer Zs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Welcome back, I seem to remember your name (maybe from a diferent forum.) Awesome about the new Z. Your $400 buck Z looks better than my $400 Z. lets see if I got a pict. Mines got a little rust behind the rear tires, and as you can see the same rumbleseat bumpers.

RedEvilrps13 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 aw c'mon yours doesn't look that bad! and I am on a couple forums under this name, but I have shortened it to RedEvil on most of them due to the fact I no longer own an S13.
