The Unloved Brother – Datsun 280 ZX

For some reason I can’t seem to get away from Datsuns at the moment, the amount of 240z‘s around at the moment that look insanely cool is just ridiculous. They have kind of become the new scene car like mk1 Escorts and Mk1 Golfs have been for such a long time, this does mean though that the prices get pushed up and so people start looking at later models/lower spec versions to do stuff to instead.

Enter the 280 ZX!

It had potential but was a bit of a rust bucket, fix it up a bit, slam and get it driving nicely…

Then have a bit of an accident…

But no worries, its just a chance to change some more bits on and get it as low as possible…

  1. This brings back some fond memories of my high school days. Back then (1983) I had a 240 Z. I thought I was the kink of the world. Good times indeed.

  2. Hey, where the hell do you live because it looks like paradise to me!
    If you can email me the city or region at least. Nice zx

  3. It’s not my car and I live in the UK but from looking at the number plate I’m guessing it is from Nevada…
