Spanishroll's 1979 280zx

[Spanishroll]

1979, 280zx

Bought from the wreckers for $600

 

Runs great, next to no rust, dodgy interior...

Only had 1 problem, dodgy gearbox... Kept getting jammed in gear...

But thanks to "Hunterzed" I was able to get a new gearbox to put in for $250...

 

Many many ideas;

- Soon to be re-painted and all dents/scratches fixed or replaced (Dingo and I will be doing this!)

- New colour is most likely to be a dark electric blue with custom white stripes!

 

Interior (complete overhaul):

- Black leather with stitching to match exterior (electric blue)

- Blue LED's

- Custom gearshift*

- Re-designed/custom dash, steering wheel, door panels & any other trimmings

- Custom controls for electric windows, and any dash controls

- Black carpets, cloth on roof and such

- Gonna change the locks to be remotely controlled, just easier that way (and I won't scratch my doors!!!!!!!)

 

*Custom gearshift: Top of gearshift will be wired so that when it's in each gear (1st, 2nd, etc), it'll light up (also for reverse). That part of the gearshift will be able to be lifted up, underneath will be the starter button!

 

Will keep you guys updated if I think of anything I've missed.. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!!
