Okay some lady wants to sell me 2 1979 280zx for $250. One of them runs, but the interior and body are in rough shape. No rust though. It needs glass and som interior panels, but the needed parts are good on the other car. Its N/A. So i guess my questions are thus...

1) should i buy them?2) how hard is it to put an aftermarket turbo on it?3) how hard is it to find parts?and 4) is ther anything these cars are notorious for?

I am a mechanic so i know what to look for...But i figured i would ask the experts. I love datsun and nissans. ( i used to own a 90 240sx)

Thanks a bunch all!

The way I see it, for $250, you have nothing to lose!

no rust is a definite yes, those cars can have nearly every body panel replaced aftermarket
