Hi all
Have been lurking around for a bit. A bit of a story but had a good friend up in Japan on business who drove past a 240Z on the side of the road outside Tokyo. Long story short he stopped and spoke to the owner, gave me a call and before we knew it I owned a 73 240Z and he had a 1600 2 door coupe!
Luckily we bought them several months ago when the dollar value was really good and we imported them at Christmas time. So now I am the proud owner of a little red 240Z with a L28 EFI motor, LSD, Nice lumpy Cam, bride race seat, gussetted and struts for body stability, watanabe rims, 3.5 inch exhaust from the headers and a few other nice engine modifications.
All this for AUD 8K which made my day BIG TIME (especially as it has only 45000 on the clock and has been stored for a very long time)
However it needs a little work. I have ordered new BRE front air dam, rear spoiler, all new bushes, slotted rotors and all rubbers for the car plus a complete new interior and most other things I can get my hands on. the door skins need to be redone but there is no cancer in it other than a few surface paint chip type issues which will be easily rectified. I hope to have the complete rebuild and respray done within the next 3 months (parts permitting)
to say I am stoked and well and truly hooked is an understatement. Once it's on the road I will use it as my Sunday driver and also racing with the Vintage and Classic Car Club in perth.
