so over the weekend i bought a true dimond in the ruff a 1981 datsun 280zx with most minor to moderate rust working a/c heat. the car has issues i wont lie but this is my first major project and im stoked i plan on giving this baby some serious tlc and turning it into a nice clean DD.








































so in general the car needs work actully quite a bit of work so when i brought her home i did an much needed oil change and tune up i also changed the air filter and such. and next week the windows being fixed along with the center council and a new muffler put on (becasue theres a softball size hole in the current one) and eventually a whole new exhaust system and a few other odds and ends in the next few months i also plan to have it sanded down the rust taken care of and repaint the same color it is now i also plan on having the frame powder coated to prevent future rust. i will have more pics as the process comes along and will keep you guys informed.

Edit this is a build thread btw

 

Subscribed ! It looks like it in decent condition. May I ask how much you picked it up for ?

 

damn good luck...hope you have a lot of time and money! i'm suprised it runs! looks like someone kicked its ass before you got it

 

not really the dmg looks worse then it is honestly all the wire connections are still there they just busted the ever living piss out of the center council to get at the radio it should be fixied by next week i just have to find a replacement for it and get it painted the proper color and straighten out all the bent metal. but as far as it running ya it runs just fine actully it runs preatty damm good lol. and to jowdamm i paid 1500 for it
