Just joined the club as a new owner of a green '76 280Z. Well, actually my son and I, as I bought it for him.

I've been Mustang man for 30 years, having owned early and late models. That being said, I've been in love with the Z since I got a 240Z model for Christmas in 1971.

As time goes on, I will no doubt be asking stupid questions or looking for help. I've got a Haynes manual, but may need more help than that can offer.

As the car has been sitting for a few years, I'd appreciate any feedback on dos and don'ts in bringing the dead back to life.

Best regards,

Peter Batura

Welcome, Peter. There is good info here, I've found this to be an incredibly useful group. You'll want to play with the "Search" function here, as the archives are filled with good data.

As far as bringing yours back to life, there was a recent thread on this subject. Take a look at Waking the sleeping beast?

Welcome, Tex!

Arne took the words right outta my mouth... so I won't repeat it.

Other than that you may also want to look into joining a local Z club. There are some pretty active ones in Texas from what I've seen. Sometimes a little one-on-one with other Z owners can make up for the boundaries inherent to the internet.

Good luck and Enjoy the Ride!

Nate

Thanks for the welcome, Arne & Nate.

I'm on my way to the "Beast" thread, and will connect with a local group.

Take care!

Welcome to the club see you have the same year as me.....
