WTB: 240Z Drivers door

[Agno]

Hi guys,

 

I'm chasing a driver's side door to suit a 240Z. I have a passenger door and I'd like a matching door that hasn't been cut up that I can put on my car. Can be rusty as long as it's repairable.

 

And a photo to get people talking

That'll buff out. I have two drivers side and only onae pazsenger side

[Retro Z]

I reckon that guard can be popped back out and maybe only require a skim of filler. It doesn't look that bad. Take it off and jump on it a few times

[Agno]

I pulled it out and it is quite badly rippled.

 

Interested in selling the passenger guard Mark?

Oh dear, did we have a brain fart? Did the wheel fall off?

At least this didn't happen?

I agree those old guards are solid compared with a modern car, with enough work you could probably get it right again.

 

Nice wheels though...

Doesn't look to bad but once they are out of shape it can be hard to get them right without an insane amount of filler. Perhaps yours would suit somone fitting flares. I do have one i can part with, i'll post up some pictures very soon.

I have no idea how it happened Gav, I took the front wheels off the night before to inspect the front end and grease it up and I remember specifically thinking to myself that i should tighten everything up because I knew I would forget if I didn't... So I did.

 

Nek minut wheel rolling down the road next morning.

Oh noez i hate that one.

[gav240z]

At least you have a sense of humour about it, could have been much worse also. If you were traveling a lot faster or driving fast around a long bend etc..

 

Did you sustain any other damage? Were you driving slow at the time it happened?

[Agno]

I had to replace the ball joint as it was the "load bearing" piece of vehicle once the wheel departed from the car and I replaced the wheel studs as a precaution. At the time of the accident I was doing about 20km/h as I had slowed down to try and limp home with the vibration.

 

Cars can be fixed and it's all just a part of the "fun" I guess. If I didn't have a laugh at myself every now and then I think I would have gone insane by now.

Have you had any luck finding a fender? I'm also in the hunt for one as the one I bought as a replacement for my damaged one I'm pretty sure isn't a factory stamping and the fit is annoying me.

[C.A.R.]

Woops...

 

Bring it down to me Alex - I 'll be able to shrink the ripples out of it...

[gav240z]

Not looking hard enough .

If either of you do buy this, I can probably pick it up for you.

[lightmaster240z]

Have you got one yet ? if not I may have one that the big guy may be able to perform magic on. 

[Agno]

Unfortunately life has gotten in the way of my best laid plans and all things Z related have been put on hold. I'd still like a pair but im tossing up between a few different options I have before me.

[Agno]

BUMP.

 

Someone sell me a pair of salvageable guards and a driver's side 240Z door please!

[Scoota G]

I still have the 260Z gaurds here i mentioned. I have been working on the rust repairs on the rustier of the two.

[Agno]

Guards sorted! Now chasing a drivers side 240Z door.
