Just a note to say hi. We just picked up our first Z car. A 1982 ZX non-turbo 2 seater. We purchased it from a one owner in Waterford CT. It had been stored inside and sitting for the past 10 years. Not a spot of rust on it except for the rusted and seized rotors we just found. The interior was moldy from sitting so we have gutted it and will install new carpets. The rest is pristine even the seats after a good steam cleaning. We are finding parts can be a challenge. We have found 3 rebuilt calipers but the right front is no where to be found. So if you know of one let me know. Our only option so far is two bids to free it up and rebuild for $325. We are redoing most of the suspension and struts this weekend. Its so nice to work on such a clean car. We got it running and the only issue is a little difficulty putting it in reverse so we may be in for some tranny work. Also the wheels have some surface corrosion. I got a bit from Danbury to resurface to about 95% for $200 each. We are going to keep it pretty much stock but what do you think? New wheels or resurface original? We should have it all done by the summer so hope to meet some of you at some events.

WOW, that looks great for a 40yr-old car! The silver and black editions are such eye-grabbers, and the solid coupe top even adds to that appeal. Really nice find.
