260z 2+2, what have I gotten myself in to!!?

[Glen]

I might have to do mine now

Nice and simple how all z's should be. Before you all pipe up i mean the cars, not the people.

[DoctorZ]

Yep, I like the clean and simple look. Hate tarted up cars with wings and flares that aren't smooth and proportionate. Nothing against the guys who have them but it's just not my taste.

No one wants to live with the girl that wears fish nets and a mini skirt 24/7 (or do they?)

Your 2+2 is going to be amazing i wish i could come thing like that with mine.. but mine belonged to my pop and he wanted it to be original.. how it's up to me to restore... what engine does yours have?

[DoctorZ]

It's an L28, twin SU's with 5speed. F54 Block, N42 head. I don't know if the internals are stock yet as I haven' taken anything apart.

Don't know when it will end up looking something like the photo I posted but you've got to set goals right!?

Well, after sticking a screwdriver through some of the subframe and the floor like it was cardboard, I have a feeling they tried to cover up some serious structural rust before sale. I was discouraged when I first discovered it but after seeing what others have done to fix their rust problems I'm not shaking in my boots quite so much.

I think I'm just scared to get started. I can drive it at the moment and ejoy it, but when I begin this project the car will likely be out of action for 12 months or more. 

 

 

Maybe you should just drive it and enjoy for a while, work on the interior and obtaining other bits and pieces, and then when you feel motivated get stuck into the rust repairs.

[DoctorZ]

Holy Crap!!! did I just read it right in the SA section that you guys we're in Tanunda yesterday??

I live in Tanunda!!

I'm still working this forum stuff out.

[RBZ 260]

try not to miss the next one THIS SUNDAY.

[Mick280zx]

Zeds on your doorstep Doctor z....

 

I'd much prefer that to a procession of modern 4 bangers- but that's all that Wagga's got! 

[DoctorZ]

Yeah I really feel like a tool now  :'(

Tanunda is bigger than you think, but where I live it's likely I heard the cars yesterday. I don't usually pay a lot of attention as there seems to be enthusiast car clubs here almost every week of the year.

Hot Rods we're a couple of weeks ago, they rally's all come through here, Classic Adelaide, even the stupid tour downunder...........I think this means I'm a spoiled little brat!

I had previously joined the R31 Skyline Club Forum's also (I've got a crappy R31 GXE), and I always missed them when they came through.

I will try to make it to this Sunday's meet but I've got to scrape together enough cash to register the old girl which could result in a headlock from my wife See what I can do, I've never driven her that far either due to carby problems. I think it's only half sorted but I'll try to work on it this week.

[RBZ 260]

ive uploaded some pics and link to youtube of the day check the SA section.

 

if u only signed up to the forum 2 days earlier. 

 

o well get the beast running asap should be a good turn out for this sunday.
