Latest 280zx video is here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqqZpsdmm87Too0.html

Let’s be honest we all clicked this vid cause we like z cars

Bro i swear to god if u wouldn't have painted it completely I would have gone mad af ! :)) Great job man ! this looks sick af

Before even watching this, the build reminds me of the Devil Z

Thanks for the awesome comments & support with this build! Next up - Turbo install! Don't forget to subscribe for all future 280zx content 😁.

Sick video, thinking of buying one of these as a project when I’m a bit older!

It's amazing what people can do in only 10 minutes. Good and quick work.

i love this, i won a 300zx z31 1984 and people say im crazy and i should just stick to the 32 gtr i have but seeing people like this bringing life into the fairladies is incredible and fills me with joy !

I just acquired a 280 almost in the exact same condition. I don’t have much knowledge on fixing these kinda things. It’s how I actually found this video. It’s encouraging to see that it is possible to fix it.

I laughed more , than I had to , for u. When u said "the only bush, that I love, legit" 🤣🤭🤣 Sometimes , u must explore nature 🤣🤣🤣😏🤭😏

Phenomenal work. The fender mirrors got me here cause I just picked some up for my Puma. The Z looks phenomenal. Living the T-tops.

My mom had a 280z, watching this brought back great memories of the fun we had driving it. Great work and finished result.

Beautiful. The 1st wheel u got actually looks perfect for the z..

That is such a beautiful car! I'm glad you put so much time and work into that Z so you could enjoy it! Also, thank you for saving it from where it was before!

Turbo install video just dropped! Enjoy - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i59yZs5oktWmo3U.html

Pretty nice I was starting to get anxious thinking you wouldn't work on the dust.

I’ve been wanting one of these cars since i was 5 yrs old. Excellent, excellent work and very impressive! $1,500 is a steal! Nicely done!

Only Ten Minutes? Very Fast!

The whole time I was scared to death thinking you would keep the rust and damage untouched, and just have the pretty paint over it. Thank goodness by the end you actually stripped the whole thing and fixed it all, had me worried.

Tbh that car looks amazing just when you change the wheels

Your car is absolutely stunning dude. Few years from now I'm looking to start collecting & restoring Zs. Your video has given me hope.

I am so glad you put fender mirrors. Personally I think it takes the car look fresh a different while still keeping it true to its roots

This is such a frickin sick vid dude!

Looked 50% better just after the first wash. Awesome work my guy.

Congrats 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼you do have balls to start with a project on those conditions 😳😳

I’m in love with 240z

Silverstreak lookin' nice these days

This was cool, I had an 85 280zx . Miss that car. Was a blast to drive.

Turned out fantastic, nicely done! I can only hope our 280z project turns out this good

Defo might get an old datsun as my first project, i see a lot of them in decent shape for really cheap

Fukin minty mate, been watching since around when you first got it. Beautiful!

Great work. Well done.

nice choice on Bayside blue. Fav color on the R34 GTR

SHE LIVES! Hell yeah Dr. Frankenstein, I wish I had your skillset. Cruising in something you brought back like that must be so damned satisfying. Hope she'll be good to you for a LONG time!😁👍

Totally awesome! It takes a lot of work to save some of these Zs. I commend you. Excellent job so far. 👏

She's a beautiful 2+2 (owned one BITD myself '83 5 speed loaded). Loved the look with the spokes.

My first car was an 81 2+2 ttop 5speed. I loved it so much This brought back so many great memories. Thanks

Please wear better protection when painting. Proper ventilation is also required. You could be very sick down the line if you don’t look after your safety.

The True Wangan Midnight maximum tune DEVIL Z is here!!\

I like this build a lot, it first bothered me that you didn't remove the rust completely the first time, and used fibreglass to "repair" the holes. however, I think you had in mind to respray and redo the bodywork anyway so now I don't mind. I hope you did use epoxy primer ;) as a rusty car owner myself, I know the importance of preventing rust lmao. last weekend I had in mind to repair a little rust hole under my door, that turned out to be half a car length of rust... which I had to cut out, haven't had time to patch the hole, but I did already clean the inside of rust and used Epoxy to seal the inside for preventing rust. love the car, paint has a few imperfections, but really good for a home sprayed car.

you're very lucky to have gotten this car at $1200. and to even own one is a miracle. and really cool on the process man, kudos to ya

Nice job. I had a 1975 280Z, I loved that car!

Heck of a transformation. Glad to see i'm not the only one with mismatched DIY paint on repairs (edit: until respray - nice!)...and your car looks killer!

Big like! ZX are awesome. Huge difference between day 1 and now.

Subbed! Love to see another aussie car YT! Wish you were around NSW. Love the work on the Datsun! I always have a soft spot for older datto’s and Nissan’s. Makes me miss my 88’ Exa

You did amazing job on this car mate

The only problem I see are the stretched tires, but everything else is absolute gold

Nice work and it's right hand drive.

5:09... mig welding in short pants, like a boss.

"second time painting a car, it came out alright"....bro if my car looked even half as good as that id be a happy man!, sick build my guy! amazing

Absolute beaut cant wait till i can get one for myself 🤤 still working on my 350 in the meantime

I was just watching devil z when I got this recommended 😳. I love the car man

These are impossible to find in the UK, nice car man I’m very jealous

For a second I was like "is that Akio working on his Devil Z"

I usually don't like the look of 280zx but this one looks nice

So inspiring. I have this same car but I got mine for $500USD. It’s rust free and paint and body is premium. Only issue is someone jacked the wheels and tossed a log through the front window. It is coming home to me on Monday and I hope mine looks as half as good as yours. The inside of mine is red and silver outside. But that blue is epic.

Sporting a semi looking at the absolute beauty of the finished product.

this is my favorite classic car- like what you did with it

That's a cool back seat to put the little ones in to get to ride in the little cool back seat a of a Cool Z.

Love the way the car came out man. Keep up the good content

nice work!

Living the dream boys.

I love these types of videos. Good work for Devil Z

I clicked on this and got an idea to replace the wheel flares. Instead of the black rivet look over each wheel well, I figured out a way to give it the wide look, without screwing a flare over each wheel. The car would have same look on the body as yours without having the screw on flares look- thanks bruh!

Mate this is wicked!!

Awesome work bro. Love it.

From a die hard Ferrari fan this is one sweet ride well done awesome job beautiful machine long live the Z

That blue is beautiful

Really nice job there. Looks amazing!

One of the many videos that makes me wish I had the money to do this kind of thing... Props... PS: Beautiful car!

Turned out so good Mike love it :)

Hey there, thanks so much for 280zx content, i actually really like this car and bought one for 3 grand with 69k miles! Question, does anyone make bolt on struts? i am NO welder haha and would rather pay a little more for bolt on

The coolness is oozing out of my nose dude

Love these 2+2's

I bought a 280ZX not too long ago and in the process of fixing it up

The subtext in this video is hilarious 😂

glad to see U and this car in happy ending

Nice build

Buying mine today. Arguably in a similar condition for 500 more. But I just love the car so I’m getting it anyway

Ngl this is a true build...u didn't gut it u went the traditional way took the time to build it....still seems all show no go but as long as u love what u do for and with that car dont let nobody tell u what to do with it.....

I love these cars so much, sick build man

Your 280ZX looks awesome!

Brilliant car matey, I love my Z31

Can’t believe they did all that in 10 minutes lol

Love your works. Proud of you!

Great build Mike!

It's looks like a Japanese version of a British Jaguar!

Beautiful!

Devil Z 280ZX

Wow I didn't know there was a Right Steering Wheel version of the Datsun 280zx cause mine is left steering wheel but I like that everything else is the same.

Looks so sick, great job

Price must have increased by miles over the last couple years. Cheapest 280 I can find in my area (Netherlands) is like 15 grand and it's a complete rustbucket. Like literally no hard panels left. Entire wheelwells that are just transparent from all the metal missing.

Cool build man! You should get some smaller old japanese wheels, think some 14" watanabes would suit it well!

This vid made me like this car more than I already did

This is one of my dream cars. The exact same color as yours with copper watanabes, sadly I won’t be able to get my hands on one because where I live they want 5-10,000 for one that doesn’t start.

WoW i like Z but first Gen but honestly yours is kicking the ass!! I will maybe reconsider my Z project for same Gen 👌🏻👍🏼

Awesome car! Did it not need any mechanical work beyond the fuel pump? That is some seriously impressive reliability if so.... Would you consider spraying the flares over the wheels body colour or do you prefer black?

Great Clip Mike, I should have kept my 280 two tone slick top, same blue and silver, great high speed cruiser, enjoy yours now, it will fly with a grunty barra, even without a turbo.

CLEAN

Center caps for the wheels please little detail are important very nice done good job bro
