My Datsun 260z 2+2 Project

[k1ngtr]

Ok i see a few threads like this and i did one on my skyline GT-R on skylines Australia forums so thought i would do one on here as my project is about to go back into production.

 

 

 

For years i have wanted a Datsun 260z even when i was on my p's but somehow i ended up with a GT-R because i wanted massive power and traction!

 

In November 2007 i lost my license for 10 months and not because i was driving my GT-R i was in a Nissan pulsar.

 

Anyway one day my friend and i were taking the long way home along farm areas and my goal was to find and old Z that was in a farm somewhere or someone old owned it and me and my dad could work on in together. As we were driving i looked out my window and saw a 260z i was in shock it was there i had been searching and all along there was one at this farm, we stopped and checked it out and i called the guy he said $1,000 and its yours i looked at the interior and the seats looked like they just came out of the factory so i did not waste time and got my hands on it.

 

I drove the car home unregistered that week ran really rough it is auto and its a 2x2, First thing i did was spark plugs and engine oil and ran like a dream after that was really smooth but carbys needed a tune and i realized i would not be happy with no power.

 

I have been taking photos as i go but as i get more into it obviously i will  post as i go so you can see the build up.

 

Ok well i can only up load 4 pictures which is G*Y!!!

 

All these pics under are the project under way.

 

 

Lights etc all off.

Interior out as the carpet had water in it and it broke away after 5 years storage in a shed so that needs to be replaced.

Last photo for now this is about to get the engine out which is currently out of the car and the car was waiting for the skyline to finish getting sprayed so now my concentration can focus on my datsun!

Thanks guys over the next few months ill be on here allot trying to get bits and pieces to help finish my car.

 

Im really exited about this project every time i do a car me and dad get to work on it together and put late nights into it

 

 

I set a goal and this is what i want the car to look like. The only difference is that i want a black front lip other than that i want the car to be identical to this when im done.

Wow that is one of the hottest Z's i have seen!

 

Did he put an after market rear bar and mold it to the body ?

 

I hate standard rear of the Z i might have to do what he did looks more neat than having two big holes in the rear of the car.
