Hi All, I bought this almost 2 weeks ago from another member on this site and have finally had the time to drag the car out for a couple of photos. Its a 1972 240z running an L26 with SU Carbs. Nothing too flash but I intend on using it for a daily driver for some time before I start doing any major work. The best part is that the car is mainly rust free - some evidence of repairs in a couple of spots and some very small surface rust here and there. The only problem ive had so far is installing a stereo and a coolant hose leak, but Ill post in the technical forum shortly. Here are some pics, note the car is unwashed sorry and will hopefully look better with a wash and polish...

Cheers, apsilon. I was that lucky buyer When I get some time ill take some photos and post them in the introductions section. I was going to use this as a daily for about 12 months but ive got that feeling it may end up in the members projects section before long... Apsilon - hopefully one day you can get back into Z cars! Good luck with your other priorities and interests

Cant say im keen on the rb25 but im super keen to see your build posts when you drop the rb30/26 in! Very good choice of engine

Hey guys, Cheers for the replies. Sorry Lurch (and George) i have filled in my location RBZ 260, cheers for that, ill make the call and see how I go. Sorry to hear about your mate. acf321, i have a pretty good idea of what im getting myself into (i think!) I owned a datsun 1600 a while back which i intended to restore but had other priorities at the time so got rid of it after about 6 months (I also found rust in the firewall which didnt inspire me). Probably lucky because if i still had the 1600 i wouldnt be looking for a 240 I have an ok knowledge of cars and mechanics, but Im fully aware of how much a restoration is worth and i know ill be outsourcing for at least part of the job...

Hi guys, been lurking as a guest on this forum for a while, decided id try to get my act together and join in the fun... Looking for a 240z in average to poor condition (to be restored) and can be running or not. Happy to travel for the right car (have access to a car trailer) but would love it if i found a car in SA (Adelaide). I dont have a fixed budget per se, but willing to negotiate a fair price based on condition, amount of rust, etc If you know someone who is selling or you would like to sell, send me a PM or simply reply post here and ill get back to you
