a 280zx that should probably be totaled, but...

[joshuawheat]

Well its time to put this rusty hunk of metal on here for some thrills and such. It's a 79 280zx with lots of different colored body panels lol with a slightly built and cammed l28 in it. Milled and shaved head, vacuum lines cleaned up, Pacesetter header, 2 1/2 in straight pipe to Magnaflow muffler. New carpet 3 years ago, brand new re-upholstered seats with leather and suede inserts like a mach 1. Lots of new mechanical goodies to make her reliable, but the frame underneath is scary to say the least. Floors are solid though. She will either need the frames to be pounded back straight, and rust removal and new steel for reinforcement, or... Drive until she breaks. Anyways, here's some pictures of when I first got her.

what would this be worth just as is?

what would this be worth just as is?

I actually did list this or sale. I believe its worth about 3k or so as it sits. I mean, the exterior is rough, but straight and the interior is actually pretty good. and it is as reliable and as tough as they come.the L28 is rock solid.

those hurricanes are dope man.

Those wheels will be staying on the vehicle. I am going for correct stance with vintage (or vintage looking parts) and they're 14's so thats pretty sweet too haha

i really REALLY need

[speakerboy]

Those CL wheels would be awesome, but you should probably fix the frame first, so you car doesn't fold like an accordion going down the road one day.

[joshuawheat]

I will be fixing that myself. It is only at one part of the frame on one side that worries me. but I will have that in check very soon

Just got finished adjusting the alignment on the 280zx. and before anyone says something about doing your own alignment, I have plenty of experience doing this. I used to do alignments on AM General H1's when i was rebuilding military 5 tons and deuce and a halfs
