Now that the mr2 is pretty much done (just waiting on a new ECU) im going to be starting on my 1977 280z. It will be getting all new suspension, brakes, wheels, paint, interior and a nicely rebuilt motor. Ill be starting on the body work this week and getting it ready for paint. I have already been prepping the motor at my shop. Here are some pics of what im starting with. No pics of the motor right now Ill have to get some from the shop.












No cracks in the dash!!!



Ill post progress pics as I work on it.

wow, that's quite a project. good luck! cant wait to see the progress...

That's amazingly cool!

I love those so much..... my question is, how'd u find one without cracks in the dash? lol that n the electrical systems are their signature problems lol..... good luck on the project, can't wait to see it come along

I got lucky. I have probably 10 customers who have 280z's and all their dashes are messed up. This car only has 65,000 original miles on it and has always been in a garage. The dash is perfect.

Oh and this is the look im going for.

Wow. That will be quite a transformation. I suppose the fender widening will all be fabricated from scratch, or is there a company out there that makes aftermarket fenders? I'm sure those deep dish racing wheels will cost a pretty penny too. Good luck!

and a pretty penny is what zach have nice project there. i'm sure you'll be having lotsa fun when it's done.

I love those cars when done right. LS1 would be sweet to have in there.

Very nice choice. Reminds me of a transformer I had when I was a kid

How much did you get your Z for?

400 dollars and came with two motors and enough parts to build two cars.
