JonnoDe Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I bought a 1977 260z 2+2.. It was a project car of someone else's who didn't know what they were doing and gave up. Was a cheap buy for me. It came with no engine in it but had a L26 and 5 speed manual beside it. There is a few rust bubbles it the paint near the arches but I've checked over the floor pan, removed carpet and dash and there is no rust in the shells bottom or pillars. So over the new few weeks il be trying to get her on the road. I've had to old L26 running on a stand (from a boat fuel tank) and the engine ran great so I plan on putting it back in. But it had no engine mounts so I'm waiting on some I've ordered. I do plan on putting a Ls1 into it eventually and have one in my shed waiting. But will see how the 6 goes.

mad680 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hi and welcome. Good to see some other North Queenslander's here on the forum. I'm in Mackay. Do you have any photo's of the car and it's not white by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triptych Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Welcome buddy, My 2+2 came from Cairns and made its way down the Brisbane for its restoration thats happening now. This wasn't that red one that was for sale on gumtree that the guys wife wanted gone was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoDe Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 It is white and I was told the car was from Mackay.... Is there some bad history with this car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad680 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Sounds like it could be my old one. I was a bit worried it had gone to 260z 2+2 heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoDe Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Had me worried there for a second. Was thinking something happened to it and it couldn't be registered or something. Bought it off someone for $1000 anyway up here. If it is your old one hopefully I can get it up and running. It does have a fuel pump and swirl pot mounted in the boot which the previous owner said was already there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triptych Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I normally upload pictures to photo bucket or something, The file size restrictions on the website are abit limited. I was just wondering about the red car that was the only reason I asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
