    Hey guys, I just wanted to show off my new toy. I`ve always dreamed of having one, and finally, the time is here.



    This is a 1975 Datsun 280z with 79,000 original miles. very light surface rust in driver door jam, rear hatch jam, and a little under the battery tray. but over all, this thing is in GREAT condition. More pics to come soon, right now I don`t have my nikon D3000 with me, so the iPhone pics will just have to do.















    I am about to take on a Wheel bearing job. It was a wobbly 150 miles drive home last night. lol but this is going to be a nice and slow build. Ive got many things in mind for it.



    Here are my dream versions of this car. but I`m keeping it white.



























    Thanks, Gotta go swap some wheel bearings.
    Doing it BIG!

    You should talk to my father in law. He has a 280Z with a 383ci in it, blower and a nitro bottle.....Its a sleeper until he starts it, lol....

    RB25/26 swap? Duh-licious.





    I loved the `74 260Z I had... unfortunately, rust also loved it too, and ate the car to death, from the underside up, in a matter of months.

    Very nice. I`m restoring a 1970 Fairlady Z, the JDM version of the 240Z. Right hand drive, mirrors on the fenders. Mine has more rust issues than yours.
