We do quite a few restorations here at Z Car Garage but this one holds a special place in our heart and I would like to share it with all of you. This 280zx has been a few years in the making and will be coming to a close soon once a couple of the nearly impossible to find parts are sourced.
Most of the parts that we are still searching for have been out of production for a decade, so you can see why this has taken some considerable effort to close out. Almost all of the interior pieces needed to be repaired and redyed to match the new dash and the newly upholstered seats, but no expense has been spared to get the highest quality items available. As these parts slowly trickle in from around the country (and world) the car is being re-assembled to better than original condition.
I have over a thousand pictures that have been taken over the course of this project so here are a few of the significant ones that show what lengths we have gone through to make it one of the cleanest restorations around. It has truly been a labor of love to restore this car and it will be a sad day when it gets delivered to its owners once again. I hope that they will enjoy it once completed as much as we have while building it for them.
