Wanted to introduce myself.
Recently bought this 280z from John from the classifieds on this site. I have wanted an S30 for a while, so super excited to have found this one.
Since getting it home I have only given it a clean and removed the 280 bumpers. Although the rear gas struts are still on as I think I'll need to drop the tank and the exhaust before I can remove them?
Planning to fit a new coil, battery, spark plugs and change the petrol and oil and see if it starts up ok, is there anything else I should do first to a car that might have sat for a little while? (it doesn't look like it has sat for too long)
There are a few welding bits that need doing, floors/battery area, little bit under the spare tire and possibly dog leg, but the rest is in really nice condition. Looking to do a RHD conversion at some point (have started collecting parts).
I'm based in the Southampton area.
