Just getting started on my 82 280zx. Got it when I was 26, I am the second owner. It has always been garage kept so except for the typical rust at the top of the windshield its has very little cancer. It is my daily driver but since I work from home it only gets about 50 miles a week on it. I'm making a list of what needs to be done, and looking for priority and maybe a sequence of what to start with. The engine runs good. But the vacuum lines should be replaced, anyone know how tubing is needed? I also replaced the flexible hoses for the fuel pump. New plugs and wires and rotor new thermostat and coolant. Wheel bearings were repacked 5 yrs ago. New rack and pinion, rebuilt rear calipers. New Tires with raised white letters and Dyno beads inside. I'd like to polish and restore the original gold anodize on rims, not sure if that is possible. The transmission is leaking a little. ( not nearly as much as my VW bug

. I need to fix the AC, the compressor has been dead for 9 yrs. Replace the now cracked windshield. Fix the original radio and maybe upgrade the headlights to LED. Any suggestions on conversion kits? When the mechanical is all done I plan to redo the headliner, interior panels, and carpet. Maybe add some new sound deadening? Dynomat? I was told to just take them out the door panels and paint them with at plastic paint! Is that the way it is done? Eventually get it painted to the original brown metallic.
What is everyone else doing to start with?
