I popped the top off the tank and it's quite rusty inside so I'm going to have to do something about that before it goes back in the car, either get it done at a radiator shop or get an Eastwoods or POR15 kit and do it myself.
This is the roof rust
This is the rust under the left hand front guard, the black car had rust here too, it's pretty common on 280s.
The car itself it quite odd, it's basically the most budget model you can get (I think they would call this a Z-L in Japan) but for some reason it has vinyl interior, air con and power steer and had power mirrors at one stage? The budget features are no cruise control, no self check computer, manual windows, analogue clock, it looks like it didn't come with a double radio/tape deck either.
Gallop Racing, I think these are pretty uncommon wheels? The one we had off yesterday felt pretty light, even with a big balloon on it.
Bog stock L28 with 160,000ks, looked to be the original fuel filter, I changed the plugs and leads today and managed to get it going a bit better, cylinder 2 doesn't seem to be working, there is spark but the injector doesn't seem to go, it's possibly blocked. The starter seems to have an issue, it's already been fitted with a relay for the solenoid but it sounds like it doesn't throw out sometimes, the auction said it had a worn ring gear but I'm not sure if that is the case, will pull it off at some stage.
I think that blocking plate on the left is factory. It's got this crazy Z Hour alarm thing, it doesn't seem to work but I might be missing the key fob (if it had one).
