1981 Datsun 280sx owned by Isaac Supnet (icice9)
I’ve owned my 280ZX for over 18 years now and when I first bought it I didn’t think I would ever get it to be the way it is now. It’s been 5 years now and counting from when I first started to do my restore on the car. Before I started working on her again she pretty much looked like a 20 year old car. Paint faded suspension soft and a bunch of little things that’s was either broken or missing. I’ve always had a picture in my head on how I wanted my Z to look like when I was finished rebuilding it but I never imagined it to come out so beautiful. Even when I had the car before the restoration she was an eye catcher, she had a body kit and a replica 280ZXR rear wing and painted IROC teal blue. But after a few years the look was dated and the paint was flaking off. I did most of the work myself except for the paint and body and the stitching of the interior, pretty much all of the mechanical parts of the car was done by me. It took a little over 3 years to finally get her the way she is now. I still have future plans for her but what I’ve got planed requires a lot more money then what I’ve already invested in her and so far I’m very pleased with what I’ve created.
