OdinZ Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Hi all, So I have been a member since October last year, just after I got hooked on the Z's. My friend showed me Red '74 260z 2+2 that his friend had for sale at the time. The drivetrain was in good condition, but the body had a lot of rust, and the chassis rails had some nice "weight reduction" holes, plus I didn't have enough money at the time, my wife and I were organising our wedding (I'm doomed). From this, I was continuously looking for a Z, up until we got married in March this year, and went on our honeymoon. As soon as we came back (I managed to save money while we were away, maybe because no wedding expenses), I started looking again. Well last weekend I finally bought my own Z from another member, and drove her home. Red '76 260z 2+2. Good enough condition for me, not a lot of rust, needs some work to get her on the road, legally, but a good base. Thank you for the help and advice so far from the members on here, Gav, Groundhog and gilltech. Will definitely have questions to come. Cheers, Ned potter260, George and gav240z 3 Quote

OdinZ Posted June 22, 2017 Author Posted June 22, 2017 Thanks guys. Haha yeah family car......one day. Fix up the car first, and yes before kids. Luckily the wife is in no rush and wants to travel first. Also the wife knows what we are in for with it. Is it this car? http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/16213-for-sale-1976-260z-22-hastings-vic/ It looks clean and solid. Hey Gav, yep. Thats the one. Has some rust spots and dents. But im happy with her. I'm not going to make a show car. Quote
gilltech Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Congrats, the fun starts now! Looks nice, if I lived in VIC I'd have been interested in that one. Edited June 23, 2017 by gilltech OdinZ 1 Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted July 20, 2017 Moderators Posted July 20, 2017 Congrats on the purchase Ned. Look forward to seeing the fun you have it getting her how you want her. Personally I think building to a drivable (not show) standard is a great idea, these cars are too much fun to not to use as often as possible. Cheers PB OdinZ 1 Quote

I am already confused with what i want to do with her. other than keep her period correct, i am not sure. and i think i am going to have fun finding the couple of small things i need to get her fixed. plus the age old thing of time at the moment, football (soccer) takes up a lot my spare time. but yeah, i bought a z to drive to drive on weekends, never been a fan of owning a show car.
