1983 280zx convertible turbo 5 speed 3500 OBO
Lots of new parts; has a 5 speed manual with a newer clutch, injectors, fuel pump, air flow meter, head temp sensor, spark plugs, fuel injector o-rings, spark plug wires, ignition coil, cap, rotor and all fluids changed. This car has come a long way from where it started needs minor cosmetic work to make perfect which i cannot complete do to an injury. I have spare parts to revert the front hood and fenders back to stock. Has 140k miles Car sold as is.
Good Stuff:
decent paint; No flaking or fading. Needs touch up.
Nice dash, seats and carpet.
Garret t3 turbo modified waste gate at 12 psi
Cold air intake
Free flowing exhaust
Five speed manual
FAST FAST FAST!
Brand new racing seats with 4 point harnesses
The top fabric looks brand new
Comes with 5 stock Z rims with tires on them
Not So Good:
The soft top frame needs a 2in weld to let it go up
Top fabric needs to be stapled to front of top frame
Timing slightly off
Needs charcoal filter $20
The car was listed here by the last owner and he had around 6k into it. I am around 2k and am basically done other than the bad things listed. 8k total investment and its almost done!!!
Please do not hesitate to message me and ill answer any of your questions.

Added some pics to your first post. Might want to post pics of the engine bay (one of the most important pics to post). 
Location?
Contact info?
Since it's on ebay, are you requiring people to buy it through ebay?

^ No it is not factory. No offense, but the Z does not look right being a convertible. Good luck though.
