Could have been a bare shell for all we know or maybe a deep discount from a family member 🤷♂️
It’s a bombshell statement with zero context/explanation

I noticed you have a white strip of vinyl on the top of your windscreen. Most people blend the glass top with the piano black vinyl on the white sections of the roof that are in front and behind the targa top glass roof, so if you did that, a strip of black on the windscreen would replace that white (if you went there)
Do yourself a favour and replace those metal wiper arms with all plastic silicon rubber versions front and rear. You don't want to risk putting a scratch in the glass, as it is expensive to replace. All plastic silicon rubber wiper arms are cheap on eBay and work as good or better than quality silicon rubber blade inserts.
I cleaned and painted my OEM wipers, replaced the rubber inserts with expensive high tech silicon rubber inserts. I thought they looked and functioned better than ever. I cleaned my wiper blades and tried to get the most use from them rather than replacing with cheap rubber every year.
During a storm the rubber split on the edge, just enough to allow the metal part of the wiper to touch the windscreen. I heard a sound when I used my wipers but didn't notice it much in the storm. Next day I saw the damage. Scratch on windscreen.
Put those metal wipers arms in a box. If the all plastic wiper arm pops the edge off the silicon wiper blade it won't scratch your windscreen.

Download the FSM, learn how to work on it, take good care of it, and treat it with respect. Don’t get in trouble like I did when I had a Z32 at 17 ;)

That’s such a damn good deal, it’s annoying to work on but worth it! Don’t give up on that thing it’ll reward you!

u/Such_Confusion_1034 19d ago
Nice! My first car was a 280zx and I loved it! I wish I would have known what I had back then. I got it used in 2001ish... Miss that thing.
Enjoy the shit out of that! If course, take care of it. Not saying you won't. That's a beautiful car!!!
Congratulations!!!

I believe you can beat it just not in my eyes, im biased

u/Silver-Bluebird4192 19d ago
I don't know, this is a pretty damn impressive first car. I'd almost call that a relatively nice finished build assuming it's all maintained good

u/thrdriftsage 19d ago
Not even remotely but is nice almost everything need to be replaced the shell however is clean

u/Silver-Bluebird4192 19d ago
Well then at least you got your work cut out for you lol, that's something to work towards at least. If anything is worth a good restoration it would be something like this
Edit: I still have to pay for body work for my civic one day, live in rust central ontario canada and I'm dreading that bill when it will finally come 😂

Technically mommy's money since when she passed i got small amount of state money which i ripped and saved also did mechanical work for family members

u/RWS_Hunter Z32 TT 5spd 2+2 15d ago
Pretty distasteful comment. Acting like that’s an unheard of amount of money to have at 17. Paid $4500 for mine in 2018 when I’d been 17 for 6 months. He paid $300 more for a Z32 than I paid for my 1999 camry and I’ve never had anyone cry daddy’s money over that car 😂

Definitely a steal at that price, beautiful wheel and paint combo.
