Okay, for sale here is my Datsun 280ZX. She is a 2.8 straight six motor with (allegedly) 160-odd BHP. She started life as a 2+2 Luxury GT cruiser with electric windows, big fold back sunroof and red valour seats. Mmmm
Anyway- back to reality. I got this given by a friend so I don't really want to take any money for her. I didn't pay so I'm not making any money here, I'd just rather it didn't go to waste.
+'s:
*Electric windows work, electric headlight washers work, all lights work, generally it all works. Even the little 'systems check' thing on the dash that tells you what isn't working works!
*It runs, sometimes. I've had it running before but the leads it has on at the moment are dire and I think they're the reason for it not sparking at the moment. When she does run, she runs pretty damn sweet.
*The interior is pretty good nick, faded red dash and lots of cobwebs but apart from that its pretty clean, the seats are lovely.
*The body is surprisingly straight, the roof isn't too bad and wings are alright too. Suspension all works, strut tops are still solid and it's all there.
*Power steering still works fine.
*Gearbox and clutch also both seem nice and tight.
*Full-length Sunroof still opens and closes fine.
*Still has 5 super cool JDM yo Datsun wheels with the 'Z' centre caps. Also has spare wheel cover in boot.
-'s:
*She is quite rusty, but not the rustiest Datsun I've ever seen. Needs new sills, floors have been repaired before to some extent, its a 30 year old Japanese car, what do you expect!
*The sunroof leaks but everything else seems pretty watertight.
*The exhaust appear to have come off at some point so that'll need attention.
*She has no V5 documents but these can be applied for from the DVLA for £25 quid or so, also doesn't have Tax or MOT but you probably guessed that!
All in all not too bad. I want this to be saved and not killed/bangered... I could do that myself and have a lot of fun so I want someone else to do something with it as I don't have the time/space/money to do it myself. Plus we're moving to a new unit and won't have anywhere for it to go!
Like I said, its free to a good home so anyone who wants to come take this off my hands, PM me or email me at nethercoat{at}gmail.com.
I don't have any good pictures of it right now, this is the only one I have:
(its the one on the left, not the MR2!)
I'll get some more soon.
Thanks, Nev.

Good to see one of my old projects. When I had her a few years ago started to fix the floor on the drivers side and most the service items including the fuel filter were replaced in 2006. Good luck with finding a good home, well worth doing this one
