My plan is to try and keep it with the original patina for a while. It'll be garaged of course but I think it'd be cool to get it running mechanically well whilst looking like a survivor that hasn't driven since 1989. I can't believe I've been chasing it this long; I found out about this when I was in year 11 high school.

Hi Guys, Just a quick update; I'm still working on trying to buy it off the old guy. Every year I go to him and say I want to buy it and we're basically down to the point that when he dies his wife will let me buy it haha! I haven't been able to get close to it since I posted on the forum all those years ago it’s still sitting under the car cover under the carport. I've still got my 1982 Celica as a daily driver too!

Well guys I've been to uni, got myself a good job and now I'm going to make him an offer for it at Xmas. I've still got my 82 Celica fully restored it etc and I've got a fully enclosed garage to work on the car. I'm not going to change the engine; will keep it original.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I currently have just finished restoring a 1982 celica 2.0XT liftback and I'm looking for a new project and I've got one the old bloke next door has this 240z under a car cover in a covered carport with uv protecting mesh things around it. He does'nt plan on restoring it because he has'nt got the money. I'd like to know how much I should offer him for it in this condition and if anyone here thinks it's worth restoring it I've got some pics here: The space were it's located it's hard to get side on shots but the paint does'nt seem to be bubbeling anywhere. This car was last registered in 1989. Can you guys please give me some pointers where to look and what to look for before under the car before I part with my cash?
