280Z with RB25DET build

[Turn & Burn]

You’d originally said really heavy steering, presume it’s going down the power steering route? What’s ur plans there?

 

[Robbie J]

Really solid car, nice one!
I’ve never seen a dash stripped back to the frame before, what’s the plans for that?

just so you can get the brackets in the right place, they come off fairly easy...

needed to adapt Andy's panels, its the first 280Z, close but works

 

[Robbie J]

just need another pedal

 

[Robbie J]

it's a 260z RHD Columb not sure on the difference to the existing 280Z

do we start from scratch with the wiring?

I have an interesting problem, besides the rear sill bit and rear inner arch (2+2 only bit) we have not found much rust. Do we strip off all the underseal in the front wings etc? there is surface rust in places but it's not in the usual places. Its a lot of work to take it off to put it back on again when the original is in good condition. Its not just our view the sprayer that does this says the same

Your car is clearly in overall excellent condition. However, it does / has had rust in various places. The front inner wings are subject to a lot of road abrasion. I've been stripping all my underseal off and I'm finding surface rust underneath the underseal even when it's looked perfect. I would spend the time and effort to strip it off - at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing !

Have fun !
