Jason89 Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Hi, im new to the forum, well ive been looking around for a few weeks and decided to register. I dont own a Z and never have, but im on the hunt for a project car at the moment. Im in SA, if youve got a 240 or 260 2 seater let me know. Cheers, Jason Quote
zzzzed Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 hey mate welcome.There have been a lot of south ozzys lately Quote
luvemfast Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 There have been a lot of south ozzys lately Yeah, you seem to be breeding...... most likely with a relative We should get some kind of beetle or toad or bush, with thorns to try and control you're expansion. But that would be silly, maybe just some killer bee's or hounds............ or hounds that have bee's come out of their mouths when they bark. Yeah, that ought to do it! Welcome Jason and good luck with finding a project Z Quote
MaygZ Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Welcome Jason. gee Simon, you got on the turps (or some flamable lawn cuttings) early yesterday Quote
RBZ 260 Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 welcome mate and good luck on the hunt. Quote
Jason89 Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 Thanks guys, im going to need all the help i can get to find a Z, but the more i read on this forum the better it gets! Quote
Jason89 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Ive got myself a 240z, ill start a project thread once it arrives. Quote
peter t Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Welcome mate. Where did you get the 240 from. Quote
Jason89 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Its this one, 1http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DATSUN-240Z-COUPE-RACE-RALLY-TARGA-Z-RESTORE-PROJECT-/370472451882?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item5641e0ff2a The guy selling it said someone from Ballina came and had a look at it, just wondering if its anyone from here? It needs some loving. Salty, ill see if i can make it, would be good to meet some forum members. Quote
C.A.R. Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Congrats on the purchase I wish you luck as restoring such an early 240Z is not an easy process - especially for someone (I'm guessing) in their early twenties? What are your plans for it? I REALLY hope your going to restore it close to Original Factory Condition... Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted January 16, 2011 Moderators Posted January 16, 2011 It would be great to see another early number 240 being restored; hopefully with the original L24 in it! Keep us posted. Quote

What are your plans for it? I REALLY hope your going to restore it close to Original Factory Condition... Yeah im 21, My original plan was to add flares and wide wheels, but because its suck a low build number and the original engine is still with it, i kind of have to keep it original. Ill wait until i get it and have a good look before i can say whats going to happen. Quote

Yeah, that ought to do it! Simpsons did it! Lol.

I REALLY hope your going to restore it close to Original Factory Condition... I'm surprised not to see the Michael Jackson picture again here Lurch, as you say it looks like it might be a big project.

Ill wait until i get it and have a good look before i can say whats going to happen. Good to hear you seem to be seriously considering keeping it original, that early a car deserves it. If you think you'd rather perhaps steer back towards your original plan, might I suggest putting that car up on here, and see if anyone who has a later project car (maybe even a 260 2 seater) and is after originality, will swap you? Good luck with the project, whichever path you end up on. Quote
benny Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Hey Jason, Its your car ultimately so just do what you want... with taste of course!! You can still do flares and wide wheels if thats your cup of tea, just make it so you can return it to stock later if you choose!! If you're anything like myself (turn 21 this year) you want something that looks hot and performs reasonably well!! Quote
Jason89 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 The 240z arrived this weekend, ill put some pics up later because they might describe it a bit better than words. There is alot missing, i think im gunna need another one for parts. The body isnt too bad, but its had a few dodgy resprays and theres heaps of bog, so as i strip it, it might get worse. My main concern at the moment is the lack of parts, no lights at all, rear garnish, quarter window, seats, front gaurd, bonnet hinges, boot vents, brake calipers, most interior bits, front lower panel, fuel filler lid, radiator. Thats the main stuff Quote
