NEW PROJECT!! 1975 280z restoration :D
 

Well with the FC for sale and all, today I picked up a car I've been dreaming about for years.

Shes a little worse for the wear right now, been sitting 3 years or so inside. Minor rust issues, 140k needs some lovin!

Thankfully, the car is very complete and I wont have to source many parts.

I'll fix what needs to be fixed in order to get the car drivable, then restore the interior and body, paint and then maybe a crazy swap in the future... 2jz? maybe.

On to the pics :Dhttp://i842.photobucket.com/albums/z...es/loading.jpg
