ok i went and looked at a 1980 280zx it has alot of survace rust in the motor bay and its all over the bumpers the car dont have any dents but at the bottom of the car around the back the rust has went all the way through and deep rust under the tail lights, the guy says it runs bit idouno but he said he would take 200 bucks for it so do yall think its worth getting oh yea and the dash has a big crack in it and its a 5 speed
they're alright cars. i had one once. rust is a bitch tho. for $200 tho, drive the piss out of it and dont look back.
where's it located?
its here in my home town anout a block away from me, i asked was the car from up north he said no. but im still thinking of getting it.ill have my mind made up in a few days ;lol
Surface rust, though turns into structural rust, isn't that bad. But if you get it, and get it running right, it will go fast. Not V8 fast but light-weight corner carving fast. Take a serious look at the unibody structure. And a hole in some places shouldn't be thought of as just a cosmetic problem. The only thing you got to protect you in a crash is your unibody and the seatbelts that mount to your unibody. Check the rockers, fire-wall, suspension mounts, and any thing else that might be a load or impact bearing structure. Even if you are a safe and responsible driver, not every one else is, and they're called accedents because no one thought one was going to happen. 280ZXs are cool, but rust can be hard to fix and death-traps can get the unsuspecting. Be safe and be fast.

Look! You're a toolbag! And you can't spell! Definately the guy I'd want to speak to about health and medicine!
Is there any reason the number of bots/trolls has gone up so dramatically over like the last 6 months? It can't just be my good looks.
no idea...and it looks like there's no real other options for us in terms of getting rid of them.
I know a lot of the other forums I'm on require you to type in a randomly generated code when you register, and that keeps computers from being able to automatically create profiles. I can't remember if we do that too. Something to think about anyway.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see we have the "security code" thing too. Dunno.

Join a pottery class and share your feelings with your fellow potter...ers?
It'll be great... seriously. Pottery is the shit, you'll never be depressed again and on top of this, you'll have plenty of that wacky shit you'd make.
Big problem with them is frame rot. Not so much with 79 up, because they have bushings between frame and body. Great daily driver otherwise. (provided structural integrity isn't compromised, sorry didn't mean to sound like Spock).
Sorry fellers. I sold my lil scooter. Good news is sold it to a kid I work with, so I see her eveyday. Bad news is, sold it to a kid I work with and still see her everyday. But its all good. Ya'll have been extremely cool to deal and hang out with. Cool as Chit I gotta say. I really liked having people asking what kind of car that is, and hows it run etc. But getting parts for it has been a huge hassle, I know thats no shocker statement to ya'll. Fer instance I bought a skirtkit from a lil a--hole that shorted me a front piece so that stopped me from getting it all on. (After paying what I was told was tooo much) Had someone else sell me the part I needed back in the beginning of Sept. It was sent, but because of problems with postoffice it was sent back to them. Neither one of our faults. But I was told they would send it again 2 weeks ago and havent seen it, or got a response to PMs or e-mails. I sent them 1 more last night telling them I surrender and not to worry about trying again. I'm not ticked........well sort of. I'm just taking it as a sign. I've got a 73 240Z, 76 280Z, a 86 300ZX turbo, and a 88 300ZX. And they are all dying for my attention. I can get everything I want or need for any of them right down to the lil fuzzy things that wipe the window when you roll them down. Please don't get me wrong!! I loved that lil car, I wouldn't have driven from Va. up to N.J. to get my turbo hood, if I didn't. Not to mention several other roadtrips. (just not quite so far) Maybe I'll try one again later. But for now I've got all these other cars (not to mention a 86 Hardbody that was a prerunner, and my 02 4x Frontier), that I have to get going. I had just the 1 SX, and put all the others on backburner. That ought to say something. Anyway, I've got alot of work to do. But like Arnold said "I'll be back". Peace Out Brothas!!! P.S. I'll check back once in awhile, THANKS YA'LL!!!!
Sorry to hear you go, man. Good luck with your other loves!
You're a car pimp....you know that right....car pimp.
