Joining the 300zx owners club only because I had it as a poster on my wall in my teens :D
I'm a tinker and love to fix things in cars myself. I've had projects in the past where I've bought cars that were about to be sold for parts or scrapped and I've fixed them up (E30 BMWs and VWs mainly). I've currently got a BMW 645Ci convertible as my weekend car that I do most of the work on myself (engine work, suspension/brakes, electrical etc). It's pretty easy to work on BMWs as there are so many online resources available. Also got a 4 series as a daily driver but there's no tinkering on that one :)
The 300zx I've picked up is a project car.
- The bodywork needs quite a bit of attention although sills and underneath seem clean
- The leather seats are cracked all over.
- The radiator has a hole in it
- Twin Turbo engine sounds great as does the autobox.
- It's all still original, no modified exhaust, boost controllers or even air filter. Only thing non original on the car are the alloys.
Ultimately I'll be doing the bodywork and priming myself and then get it painted at a pro shop.
Also looking to dress up the engine a bit as well and make it look nice while changing the cambelt, waterpump, adding an oil cooler for the gearbox etc (can you see the type of questions I'll have??)
Be gentle if I ask stupid questions, I've never worked on a Nissan before! :)
