A very nice NON-T-bar car!  and happy to hear  (finally!!) that you also, like me, like the 2+2 version for it's shape!  Also the bigger trunk..  ME LIKE !!  hihi....  I'm restoring a 280zx 1979, an euro first edition with the partial metal bumpers (stainless steel.) ..

It's getting his all new coat of paint (from metall up)  at the moment!  It is going to be blue.  My interior is almost the same like yours..

Have fun with it!

Nice looking car!   The MSA body kit looks good with that color.  A big plus for the car, is that it is not the GL option version.  You have the much nicer analog gauge package (as opposed to the digital dash) and the manual hvac system vs the problematic automatic climate control.  

FYI, should you ever want to change it,  the 79 zx speedo reads much higher speed than your 85 mph unit and is fairly easily changed.

Good luck with it & welcome.

Thanks for all nice replies

the car gives me 75mph at 3,000 rpm. There is more rpm left, at least 3,000 more so I know max speed should be atound 135/150. Next project is to swap the speedo. Just sure how to match Odo reading at 130,000 or so to match all docs i have.
