hunterzeds '82 280zx......Now short wheel base but I have a replacement. :)

[hunterzed]

Well I bought an '82 280zx a couple of weeks ago and this is how it looked when I bought it. Its not the most spectacular example but it was a fairly clean car.

 

 

[hunterzed]

While I was cruising around Newcastle yesterday I had a girl in a little Kia help me to modify the rear end of the 280zx by slamming into the back of it. Nothing like a kick in the butt to get you started on a new project.

ahhh crud, that'll be a right off by the looks of how its crumpled.......

 

were you insured?

[OZ001]

nice 280zx  sorry to hear about the accident

[hunterzed]

Well I'm dissapointed about the accident but no-one was hurt so thats a good thing. I only just bought the car and I haven't transfered the insurance or rego but it is still insured under the previous owners name and I just got a call from the other party and she gave me the claim number and I'm booked in to get the car assessed on Monday. I'm pretty sure it'll be a write off though. Which means I'll be able to keep it for a parts doner car.

I've already found a replacement. I pick THEM up next week along with the guys whole 280zx spare parts collection.

I always thought the 280ZX shape was a bit 'how ya goin' but I think I can appreciate them a bit more now. Especially this jap spec S130 with an RB26

Hey Loui, Yeah it is the small hose that goes to the throttle body. I split enough that I had to stop another 4 times on my way home to Clarence town. I'm glad it was only something small. Time to check all my hoses now I guess. I'll put all new hoses on when I do the chassis swap.

 

 

[FLEXZED]

thats cool mate

 

i was up there in nelson bay for the weekend and was on my way to that property (not sure where as i wasnt driving) that used to be a wrecker and have a look if there were any parts for the zed

 

lots of ford and holden parts 

[hunterzed]

Well I just scored two complete cars plus heaps of parts stripped from two other chassis'. So I'm pretty set for a while anyway. 

 

If you need any 280 parts let me know. 

[FLEXZED]

thanks mate

 

but am building up my 260z, when its done i will bring it up there for a cruise and show you it

Got the replacement shell for my car today.......well one of them anyway. The other shell arrivese next week some time. It doesn't look like much but it is in great shape. A coat of paint won't be hard to put on.

 

The new car

 

The mountain of spares. Well the first load anyway. Still more to come.

 

Another view

 

White face dials anyone?

 

Gotta clear out the rats nest in the engine bay though. haha

Looks like there's another 280ZX in those spares alone! If you find yourself with too many 15/16 brake master cylinders...let me know

[hunterzed]

Once I build both cars up that I'm building and once all the spares are sorted, I'll post up anything that I don't want to keep for myself in the forsale section.
