Hey Guys....

Well, I have some AWSOME news. I picked up a sweet car yesterday and started working on it. I scored a running 1980Datsun 280zx to the tune of 400.00. I started her up and drove her home. Pretty good shape for a 1980. The floors arent bad and the body is almost all straight. Here are a few pictures:






...now for the awsome news
This pig is getting a transplant....
3800 L67

As you can see, the interior is out as of last night. Now its time to break out the plasma cutter and start welding in the new aluminum tubs and getting all the chasis squared away.

This will be the thread where i post all the progress of project 3800zx

Stay tuned.

 

only 400? crap i woulda bought that on site lol

 

This should be pretty cool, subscribed for progress.
the Z's came rwd, right?

 

yup, its got a factory lsd. Tonight we are going to start cutting out the floor boards and rear hatch area to start centering the tubs and new aluminum floor pans.

I will take LOTS of pics as we go.

 

Nice find. Sounds like a cool project. I worked on one of those at work one time, same color and all. They are neat little cars.

 

 

TWIN CHARGE SPACE

I wanna run close to 650whp which should bury a car with that curb weight into the nines...

 

Are you building the whole motor from the bottom up or are you using a stock bottom end?

I may have a hissy fit if I dont get to see the finished product... just putting that out there.
