I am wrecking a 1977 Datsun 260Z 2+2 Engine, gearbox, exterior panels, lights, interior trim, stock seats, wheels etc. all for sale. See this thread for parts list and asking prices: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,12276.0.html

I have a 5 speed manual gearbox out of a '77 260Z 2+2 up on eBay ATM. Located in Western Sydney (St Marys). Starting price $100 no reserve. Item # 181067829079 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/5-speed-manual-gearbox-out-of-Datsun-260z-2-2-/181067829079?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a287bcf57 I also have another gearbox and 2x L26 motors that I'll put up for auction hopefully over the weekend. Also a whole bunch of bits from a rusty 1977 Datsun 260Z 2+2 parts car which hasn't been sold, and will now be pulled apart. I will get back to anyone who PM'd, text msg'd or called me about buying parts from it (there were a lot of enquiries) and let you know what I want for them (I will try and base prices on what I find ppl have sold stuff for here or on eBay, rather than picking a random number out of the sky).

Hey there. I have been thinking about reviving my '76 260Z 2+2, which has been sitting in the shed for around 5 years. Over that time I've taken parts off and done a bit of paint stripping (to reveal copious amounts of bog and rust), but the process has been slow and I never labelled the bits or kept the bolts and nuts in any kind of order. Hence, I'm a little apprehensive about picking it up and trying to put things back together. I have very limited mechanical knowledge, but I'm thinking of rebuilding an engine (I have three L26 engines, all of which have been sitting around for 5 years or more) and re-assembling the car to help me learn. I also have a 'parts zed' (don't cringe, it was in shocking condition when I got it and the shell is pretty much beyond help). My basic idea is that I'd like to strip it down, labelling and storing all the salvageable bits and pieces as I go, so that re-assembling my original zed will be a little less daunting. I have a Haynes repair manual, which has some pretty detailed diagrams & photos of engine components, suspension bits, interior etc., so I'm happy that I'm off to a good start. I was thinking of making it all the more difficult by making a few changes... air conditioning, power steering, and possibly power windows. I haven't looked into the logistics of any of these additions yet, but I'm sure they would be bound to cause me more than a few headaches. Advice from anyone with experience performing any of these mods would be much appreciated. For now, I will wander the forum and read old threads in search of knowledge. Thanks!
