Thanks, I'm in Brooksville, about 40mi. North of Tampa. Here's a pic with my 280ZX in the backround. Any Nissan cruise nights in our future?

Thanks for the kind words guy's. She came with new timing belt,cam seals alternator,radiator and tires. Needs ball joints though.I guess that will be my first project. Looking at the engine it appears that it might be a challenge. Has some tight working areas. Also came with the original plastic keychain from Capitol Datsun in Washington DC.(still in good shape) I thought that was a hoot.

Thanks man! I'm a happy camper right now. Havn't had a chance to do any real work to it yet. It will look better after it's dropped. I appreaciate the kind words.

Great directions inside these two books. They will walk you through 95% of the problems/questions you will have.

Local meets? Well, for you that would be Tampa area.

http://suncoastzcarclub.com/fo...517b2

Here's the local Z car club forum. Check it every once in a while since they post up the meet times in advance there. Also, I usually post up the pending meets for the Polk County Z Club once they are finalized. Bit of a drive for you, though.
