Hypnotictortoise Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Hi all, I have recently set my heart on getting a 71 240z. Like many of youi want to get something in very average condition and start from the ground up with a complete restoration in white with a rigorous engine blueprint. Anyway, for the moment I will sit and watch from the sidelines, learning what I can and saving the money for a running wreck. Cheers, Will. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted February 3, 2011 Moderators Posted February 3, 2011 Welcome Will....not sure if you have read much in other threads, but unless you are a panel beater/mechanic/spray painter/autoelec/machinist etc sometimes its a good idea to save the $$$ and buy a good stock example and go from there..Usually un-finished resto's (with photo logs etc) are a good thing..Save the cash and heartache and just enjoy the driving! Unless you like a challenge Quote
Hypnotictortoise Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 Thanks for the advice Redman, I think I shall follow it. Spectacular car by the way. Quote

Moderators Zedman240® Posted February 8, 2011 Moderators Posted February 8, 2011 I don't really mind... we have seen a million of these restorations start then within a few months come up for sale...just wanted to give my 2c worth... you can either pickup the coin or just walk on by! Quote

Wasn't about the advice, that was valid. More that he called you Redman, and you hate it when people spell your name rong Quote
