New 280ZX Owner

Hello everybody. I recently bought a 280ZX 2+2 w/t-tops. It will be an on-going restoration project, my first. Currently "Baby" is awaiting a transmission. I had the original replaced with a used one, but lost 5th gear in the process. So, it's back to the garage. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions as I get to know my new wheels and thanks in advance to everyone for sharing information. Garnet in San Antonio, Texas
