I keep forgetting about this site, buh meh, I’m bored at work and got time to kill, so I’ll post a few pics .
I’m in the middle of doing a “body off” restoration of a 1977 Datsun 280Z. Picked it from a local guy who moved to Cali. This year I’m not going to worry too much about a balls to the walls engine swap, just going to throw a spare KA24de in there and work diligentley on the frame and body. As of 2/27/07, I have the car down to it’s bare unibody without a single bolt to unscrew. I tore of the fiberglass fenders someone did as a quick fix to hide rust. This week I’m going around filling the rivet holes along with sheet metal replacement on any exterior damage/rust. Once that’s done it will go on the rotissirie (car twirler) to take care of the underside, replace/extend frame rails, and any other structural modifications needed should I go the LS2 route in 2008 ( just gonna keep on eye out for wrecked GTO’s).
Anywho, just a broad collection of the teardown/assesment phase, got the car at the end of 06, probably have about 25 hours in to it thus far (original inline 6 was already pulled 
)

First day in the shop
Lets see, Front suspension out,windows,hatch, hood, most of the interior is out
Tsk tsk, look at that mess, rear suspension finally out, that was a pain
At this point the rear buper/lights, wiring, fuel rails, etc etc etc are all out. There’s little if anything that can be unbolted or taken out.
If anyone else would like to see more pictures, they can be seen at the link below. I believe you can only visit the site up to three time before you have to register, but I’ll post up the “end of the day” pics here.
