Retro Z Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Hi guys. I require 2 front guards. 240z or 260z. Fibreglass or metal is fine. I am after really good condition ones with no damage or rust as the 4 i have require too much work. Willing to pay a good price for a good pair. I will also pay for postage from anywhere aswell. Thanks. Quote
DreamZproject Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I got one (can't remember which side) in pretty good nick. Would 1 be enough Quote
Retro Z Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 If it is in good condition, as in no rust or bog , I will take it. Let me know what you want for it. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted May 23, 2014 Administrators Posted May 23, 2014 There is a reproduction guard on eBay at the minute. No idea how it fits but listed at $500. Which seems reasonable considering the amount of work I've put into 1 of mine. When you say yours are too much work how bad are they? I wouldn't mind some practice panels . Quote
Ledge Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Same as all the Repro stuff, They aren't perfect but a lot less work then fixing badly rusted and damaged guards. Depends weather you want factory bits I guess Quote
Retro Z Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 Yeah i messaged the guy off ebay selling the repro. Just waiting on a reply if he makes them for the other side aswell. Im doing some minor rust repairs on a 2-seater that i sold to a friend. He is rather cashed up and prefers me to just buy new or good gaurds rather than repair the ones i have. It has rust all through the bottom, mounting lip and near pillar sections with crazed paint all over..not impossible to fix but whether it is worth the Time:Money ratio is another thing. Quote
Retro Z Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 If you really want them Gav they are yours! Quote
DreamZproject Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I have 3 guards at the moment. 1 that is near perfect and 2 that need a little repair, but for the right price I could repair them myself... I'll take a picture for you tomorrow. Quote
Retro Z Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 I have 3 guards at the moment. 1 that is near perfect and 2 that need a little repair, but for the right price I could repair them myself... I'll take a picture for you tomorrow. Any luck with the pictures? The ebay guy replied and said he only has that one panel on ebay left as he no longer has the tooling to make more or the other side.

Administrators gav240z Posted May 26, 2014 Administrators Posted May 26, 2014 Hi mate, I was at a Nissan / Datsun show last year in Sydney and there was a guy there who dealt with reproduction panels for classic cars. I asked about Zeds and he mentioned they do the front guards only for an S30. I kept the flyer but I can't for the life of me remember the business name. I'll try and look it up later tonight. *Edit - a quick Google's and I found it. http://www.allmusclecarparts.com.au/webshop/index.php/datsun/240-260z.html Happy days! Quote
Retro Z Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 Sweet. Thanks Gav. I'll make an order with them this week. Quote
DreamZproject Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Sorry Tai, I just realised that there is a very small amount of rust in them (in a very easy spot) so it sounds as though it's not what you're after... Quote
Retro Z Posted May 27, 2014 Author Posted May 27, 2014 If its not hammered with rust im still keen as they are going to get cut for flares anyway. I just don't want to spend alot of time stripping paint and doing repairs when a new guard can be had for $399. Quote
DreamZproject Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 funnily enough the rust is at the top where it's a flat panel... Wouldn't take much more than an hour to fix but I'll chuck this picture up anyway. Quote
