Sirpent Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 If Nissan truly wish to revive the Z image and tradition in the future with a retrospective car as other manufacturers have done with their iconic models then they should have a long hard look at what this gent has done. The S30 with a few tweaks to body lines and stance may prove to have been well ahead of its time. Looking at the profile of this car you can almost see the styling of a Jag or Aston, this is an amazing effort. http://www.pro-touring.com/threads/107091-quot-Mechanix-Menace-quot-An-LS7-motivated-chopped-and-heavily-modified-1973-Datsun-240Z Quote
zzzzed Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 I need more money and time. I would be having a go at build something like this if I could afford it. Quote
PeterAllen Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 The builder states: "This thread describes what has taken up a lot of my free time for more than 15 years, my Datsun 240 Z." I can relate to that. Quote
Gordo Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 That's some major surgery on that Zed. What an epic build. Come on Peter Allen, would you care to share a bit more on the transformation of your 240z into a Awsome looking Ferrari ? As you say , your build is just as sensational . Quote
PeterAllen Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Gordo. I stated I could relate to the duration, not the quality nor outcome. I'm glad I've whet your appetite - it's getting there. Quote

Gordo Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 I'm lead to believe those exhaust tips lead to an LS1. Quote
