Cleaned up the S30 some today and started to put on some new stuff

[nsrZ32]

Well like it says, I played around with the 280 today. Been neglecting it a lot and need to show it some attention. I've got lots of new parts waiting to go on it and just picked up a ton of stuff from a pair of parts cars this week.

Anyway, cleaned up the engine bay and threw on the polished valve cover I've had in the basement....

Was excited to see how clean and cherry everything was when I pulled the old valve cover



Cleaned up the inside, it really needed it after having been in the body shop, tons of dust

Then worked on the exterior a little

As with any of them, its a project. Slowly but surely it'll get there

Bump!

The 280Z looks great, saw it in person! This car has come along way

love the valve cover

so you have a webbed, EGR'd intake and an externally lubed cam (N42 head), so it's a 76?

Im also curious for my own car, I pulled the bumpers, but havnt pulled the bump-shocks yet.

the rear bumper shock on the 280Z are a royal pain to remove (prepare to remove the gas tang anfd get rust and dirt in your eyes), the fronts changed a bit from 76-77 but they are a snap to remove so long as the bolts aren't rusted in place
