In this episode of Larry Chen's channel, we are introduced to a car that is the epitome of badassery - a custom-built 1983 280ZX. Now, you may be wondering why someone would choose to work on a 280ZX when the 240Z and 280Z are the ones that usually steal the spotlight. Well, this car enthusiast had a different vision in mind. He wanted something wide and mean-looking, and boy did he achieve it.
The transformation of this once-rusty 280ZX is nothing short of remarkable. The body kit features sharp corners and edges that give the car an aggressive stance. And let's not forget about the air suspension that allows the car to be lowered to the ground, making it look even more menacing. But it's not just the exterior that has been given a makeover.
The paint job on this car is a work of art. The owner decided to go for a flat color, but he didn't stop there. He hand-painted grinding flames on the hood, adding a touch of raw power to the overall look. And those wheels, oh boy, those wheels are something else. Rays VY ones with custom lips and carbon fiber inlays, they are a sight to behold.
But it's not just about the looks with this car. The owner has paid attention to every detail, ensuring that the modifications are not just for show, but also functional. The bumpers have been modified to fit the theme of the car, and there's even a hidden bar that adds structural rigidity. And let's not forget about the engine bay, which may look mostly stock, but the owner is considering adding individual throttle bodies to give it that extra oomph.
Inside the car, the theme continues. Custom door panels, floors with reverse dimple dies, and a suede-like material on the seats create an atmosphere that matches the aggressive exterior. This is a car that demands attention and respect wherever it goes. It's a testament to the owner's passion and dedication to creating something truly unique.
