Arg... Personally, I hate looking into bright tail lights. Just was behind some new bright LED lights this morning at a stop light and had to shield my eyes from the glare. Stock is good enough OR you can add all kind of mirror reflectors like the ricers have....

It looks damn good for a 72. Unless you paid $9K for a "showroom car", it looks just fine to me. No way will a 30 year old Z have zero rust so I'm not sure what the whining is about. Heck, even the so called "damage" from shipping aint no big thing UNLESS you paid top dollar for this car....

Hey, I just want to keep my car running... I (Like GW Bush) don't care what France thinks :-)

I'm doing my first Z restoration. I removed the front and rear suspension and fuel tank. There is no rust underneith the car except for some minor surface specks close to the rear bumber mount. Can I just wash it and call it good OR do I need to strip the entire undercoating /paint, then repaint and reundercoat?

Small grey print on black backgrounds is silly! Hard to read and cannot stretch the windows larger. Too much "flash" and not enough content. :mad:

I need to support the 79 280ZX for refurbing now that the engine is out. Can I support the body on 2 engine stands, each attached to where the bumper used to mount? Also, anyone have this pre-made in the Houston area that I can rent/buy/borrow? Thanks!!!

Yea, the 280 ZX is VERY desirable. The 240 guys steal it's brakes, engines, rear ends, turbo's, ignition, wheels, etc, etc to make their cars better. My '79 280ZX (I'm original owner) has been bulletproof for 300,000 miles so far. The low speed handling is not as good as earlier Z's, but it will cruise all day long over 100mph on the highway without needing added spoilers to keep it planted. The 240-280's do seem to have more interior refurb parts than the 280ZX and more of a mystique than the ZX series...
