Introduction

[AaronP]

I feel its about time that i introduced myself, i have been a member for over a year but only acquired a 240z a few months back off a forum member. the 240z i ended up with was number 351 a accident damaged shell that i plan on restoring with my father, its had a nice hit to the side a couple of times judging on the body filler, but is pretty rust free. included a couple of unflattering pictures as it sits these pictures were taken just after i got it.(bit of wood was so water would run off the tarp, shed roof was leaking)

Welcome, good on you for taking this on and bringing back to life an early Z.

[Brabham]

Welcome, planning on putting it back to Safari Gold?

[AaronP]

don't know what it will be painted in yet, would be nice to take it back to original but i am missing a lot that would make it original as i don't have the original motor and the amount of repairs made from previous accidents make it a little less original +early parts cost a arm and a leg

[ScottyD]

Yeah but they look so good in Safari Gold...

I would recommend importing a complete but rusty early 240z from the US and then just transfer the majority of components over. Save a lot in the long run that way..

if i imported one from America i don't think i would be able to strip it, i would end up with 2 project cars , besides at the moment i have a vast majority of the car there just missing a few things even though some parts are from later years, e.g my seats, engine and a few other small parts.
