Bought another car...
« on: December 19, 2011, 03:11:52 PM »
A 1973 240Z.

For parts...


My buddy, who helped me with the tieing down and such. He'd been up for like 30 hours by this point and has a hole through his foot from a nail he stepped on the other day... :S


The car is quite rough, but has some decent parts, like a rear sway bar, possibly upgraded front sway bar (need to measure and compare), a header, possibly rebuilt 280Z engine. Aftermarket steering wheel, that I'll at least be able to keep the adapter, the foam on the wheel itself is pretty rough shape. The guy I bought it from said it has a 5-speed, so I'll have to check that.

The wheels are in good shape, which is surprising looking at the condition of the chassis itself. Same with the fenders, they are in good shape. The hood and hatch are basically rotten though.

The chassis was at the guys house, but most of the body panels and other parts were a few blocks away in another garage. We bolted the fenders on, and held the doors in place with straps. LOL

It also came with two VERY good condition black 280Z (260Z for you down under) seats, those will be going in my car post haste. :D

I then went to another place after getting the car home and bought some brand new, never installed head light covers. :D

haha, looks like you owe your mate a beer, or two. I take it you're going to keep the parts and scrap the shell? Or is it salvageable?

I know where there's a set, well I think they're 5 slots, if you want I can check on them next time I'm out doing some fieldwork?
