Update: My 280ZX was in a wreck on 1/22/2009. My she rest in peace.

Update 12/31/05:

I got my JTR radiator intalled. I purchased it from JTR (www.jagsthatrun.com) Also, I've added a Greddy oil catch tank, just so I wouldn't get oil into the intake. :P Pictures of the radiator and catch tank are on page 5.

Update 08/05/05:

I got my rear Cusco strut bar installed. I got them through MSA. See pics on page 4.

Update 07/29/05:

I got my x-slotted installed. The rotors were MSA. See pics on page 4.

Update 05/12/04:

I finally got the coil-overs on! Took about a year, but they are on. Check out the small progress on page 4.

This is my baby. A 1981 280ZX coupe turbo. I would like to first say thanks to my dad, brother, and John Boreham for the many hours (still counting) of work and help. Also thanks to all the z forums out there I've gotten help from...thank you guys and gals. I would also like to says thanks to my mom and my future wife, Amanda, for the morale support.

Great car! I give it 5 ***** Those wheels are just the right ones for that colour. I couldn't imagine a valve cover in black would be cool, but it's awesome. Nice job you did on the struts.
