So...we started yet again, another project. On top of the crx and the pontoon boat. We have a friend that has an 84 nissan 200sx, and he drifts at the local events, and he's been waiting and wanting me and my brother to get a RWD car to start drifting. So the owner of the pontoon boats dad has had an 83' 280zx sitting in his yard for like 4-5 years now. We talked to him and he said he just wanted it off his property, and said he would sell it to us fr $200. So we had to buy it. The body is straight as shit, not a ding in it. We start looking at it more, and it only has 121k miles on it. It was the top of the line model in it's day. All digital guages, power windows, power locks. It's automatic, which we're going to change to a 5 speed, we just have to take a trip to the pick-n-pull. Oh yea, it's also a t-top, which I love. It had the full interior when we picked it up yesterday, but now it has nothing but 2 seats a dash, and the door panels. HA! We stripped the crap out of it. We took the exhaust off, and started taking a lot of the heat shields off, and now we just have to wait for more money before we can do more.
The only semi-bad thing about it, is that there is no title. The guy that owns it lives in China now, and is never going to come back for it, and stopped paying $20 a month storage fee after about 6 months of it sitting there. So we just have to apply for an abandoned vehicle thing, and go through that whole spiel. Eventually I'm confident that we will get the title, and be good to go. Even if we don't, drifting here doesn't require you to have/show the title to them before you drift.
CLIFFNOTES:
1.) Got a Nissan 280zx
2.)Clean car
3.)$200
4.)No title
5.)No problem
Here's a pic of the delivery. I didn't get a before the strip pic, but I'll find one on the net. Also will take more pics tomorrow during the day light.
Oh yea. We put a new battery in it...started right up, no problems at all.
Custom tail gate, HA.
