So today I picked up a 82 ZXT for $500. When I saw it had a dead battery and 2 flats and the car hasn't ran in over 6 years. So I get it towed home fill up the tires put a new battery in it and changed a leaky fuel hose from the pump and fired it up. Started on the first try. Put new fuel in and now she's running like a champ!
Here's some pics





Those louvers gotta go!
Not bad though for $500

 

Congrats...looks like you got a great deal!

 

very nice, looks like an earl sheiv paintjob though, looks like theres massive overspray on the bumper lol

 

Nice find, my 79 wasn't in half that condition. How much do you want for the louvers?

 

Yeah the paint is kinda rough and there's a few placed on the body that's got some surface rust... But as soon as I get some of it's other problems squared away. She's gonna get a new body kit and some fresh paint. That's gonna be after I freshen up engine. I'm gonna paint it right this time and have the engine bay the same color as the whole car..

 

Nice score Ice! That is a smoking deal right there!

 

Good for you man,Another ZXT owner.

 

Is that Dave in the 2nd pic . Too bad I got rid of most of my turbo goodies. I still have my LM-1 wideband O2 and a MBC for you to play with .

 

good work ice. great cheap find. it better be as nice as your other s130, i have no doubt that it actually may be better.

 

Thanks guys. And yeah I plan on making it a whole lot nicer than my other z. Right now I'm trying to find a place that can replicate my fiberglass Zx-R wing and maybe make just a few extra to sell so I can offset the cost on restoring this baby.

 

wings west makes the lipped whale tail, then you could just shave the center down to match what you have. i dont know how close the wings are, but id sure like a zxr wing tho

 

I too might be interested in a ZX-R wing. Post when you know a price for a replica one. And good luck with your new project. Looking forward to seeing you progress with it. And have a killer Turbo Z!

 

Where's the update on this! C'mon man
