Now that the mr2 is pretty much done (just waiting on a new ECU) im going to be starting on my 1977 280z. It will be getting all new suspension, brakes, wheels, paint, interior and a nicely rebuilt motor. Ill be starting on the body work this week and getting it ready for paint. I have already been prepping the motor at my shop. Here are some pics of what im starting with. No pics of the motor right now Ill have to get some from the shop.
     No cracks in the dash!!!  Ill post progress pics as I work on it. --------------------  |

I got lucky. I have probably 10 customers who have 280z's and all their dashes are messed up. This car only has 65,000 original miles on it and has always been in a garage. The dash is perfect.

Wow. That will be quite a transformation. I suppose the fender widening will all be fabricated from scratch, or is there a company out there that makes aftermarket fenders? I'm sure those deep dish racing wheels will cost a pretty penny too. Good luck!
