Slow progress, life keeps getting in the way. But maybe this summer . . .

YES! I love it! Keep up the work my friend. The 280zx will always keep you happy.
Someone had to make up for all the pollutants these hybrid cars are saving these days, so i cranked up the fuel pressure and let the engine roar.

I thought you'd be finished by now! You helped me with a Chinese Quaife (sp?) torsen centre for a 3.7 R200 long nose I have. Bellevedere washers and all that. Some time ago. I'm busy selling parts from the 3 or 4 S130s I've had and parted out (mostly).

The 280z 2 seater is prettier. I'm not going to take all of the wiring loom off it this time. Or take the motor out. I will be putting in an L471B though, for the overdrive. I have the L series bell housing and the flex plate and associated parts. I hope to finish her this summer. R/v door-mirrors to wire, electric windows, furniture and new reconditioned dash. Don't know what I'll do then. Maybe enjoy using it!

Nice to contact you again. Regards, Peter Gilbert, Blenheim

The colour of your Zed looks like the 350z Daytona Blue. Nice colour whatever it is.

It's Ford Blueprint Blue. Much better than the original karatanae yellow - some might say "yellow-gold" ? . . .

Keep the updates coming!

That is looking mint. The 280zx just keeps getting better with age and the 2 seater is a a rare treasure.

Although I do like ones with a slight custom twist.......as in some nice period correct wheels etc.
