My new S30 Project

I was inspired by usafdarkhorse's beautiful S30 to post up a thread on my own. I'm definitely not comparing mine to his (his is definitely in another league), but thought it would be fun to post up mine and journal the mods that I'm going to do.

We went and paid for it today, but are leaving to Las Vegas tomorrow (MFEST) and it will be getting worked on while I'm gone by our mechanic (brake fluid change, oil change, etc.). It's a '77 280z with 131,000 original miles with the original 4 speed manual and L28.

Here's the start to the project:

Thanks!

As an update, I've removed all carpet, removed grill for paint, and ordered a Sparco Speed w/ sliders and bracket from HPF.

Here's a picture of the interior so far with the carpet removed. The nasty old console will be coming out soon too:
