260Z 2 Seater Road/Track Car Build

[260Z Road Track Build]

Hi all, I thought I would introduce our new build.  We have just picked up a very sound 260Z 2 seater shell and parts and intend to build a road track car for targa events, hill climbs and track days. 

So a bit of background, my son Matt was quite an accomplished driver through karting and then Formula Ford.  On our many trips across to Victoria from Adelaide, we would often talk about one day building his dream car.  One that we could both share the build, and also enjoy driving it after.  We looked off and on for a 240/260 2 seater for some years, and eventually this one popped up, and after road trip to Arrarat, it's ours.

The basic plan is a stock LS3, 4 speed T10+, roll cage, and upgraded suspension, brakes etc.  It will in the restomod theme, where it will remain cosmetically sympathetic to the original, but then upgraded for competition use underneath.

I have a couple of builds under my belt now, having just finished a 1960 Split Window Kombi, and prior to that a 750HP LSx454 into a 93 HSV Senator.  The idea of this build is for me to teach Matt as much as possible, as he really wants to be  very involved with the build.

We wont get started on it for some time, but at least we have the car.
