Well Thought i should post an update, lack of employment has resulted in plenty of time on my hands and the datto is getting the well over due attention it deserves :) well i am going to try a respray myself so thats in the process aswell as the suspension and diff change. So far i have found a little rust which has been cut out and welded back in and now just patching and priming, i also found some nicer bumpers off my "donor" car which look much better than the original 280s

anyway time for some photos

It's a shame about the ZX's looks, I've been told that mechanically they are good to drive, better than the older Z's, but just a shade too 80's...

They are 'OK' to drive, but whoever told you they are 'better to drive than the older Zed's' is speaking out of their arse.
