Hey guys, Just wondering what the main differences are between the 260z 2+2 and the 240z.... Would like to hear form people who have dumped the guts of a 2+2 into a 240z. Cheers!

Anyone selling front panels rust free? Let us know thanks! In melbourne

Hey guys! Cheers for all the advice, I have decided to give it a go and see how I go, I have a couple of mates who are happy to help me out, and have a mig welder I can use for the project. I guess I just wanna finish this one off, cause other than those spots its still a pretty nice car, and I guess its gonna cost heaps more to get a shell that doesnt have the same issues.

Hey Scoota, Here are some pics of the rust. Let us know. Cheers

here is my inspiration

What I started with

Hey Guys! Cheers for all the feedback. More pics will be up, just havn't been able to do so cause my computer crashed! But so far I have started stripping the car down to bare metal, and have gutted the inside. I have found some nasty surprises, but nothing too serious (Hopefully). Next step for me will be getting all the rust fixed up, and then priming and painiting. Also scooter cheers for the offer to help with the rust! once the pictures are up hopefully you can give me a better idea of what needs to be done.

Hey guys, cheers for the responses! I'm in Victoria (Doncaster). I must have the wrong number then lurch. Woops! Cheers Scooter! I will take a whole heap of pics and put them up. Cheers guys, appreciate it.

Hey guys, I'm currently working on a 2+2 that is in need of some rust repairs, the car doesn’t have too much rust, just all in the normal places. If anyone could recommend an affordable (Student here) repairer, it would be much appreciated. Cheers guys

cheers guys for all your responses! The reason why I asked is because I am currently doing a 2+2 (Pappas in the build page) and was just entertaining the idea of just dumping the 2+2 (Plus some changes) into the 2 Seater. But I guess im being too cheap. I think ill just have to finish the car as a 2+2 Cheers guys for all your input! If anyone can reconmend someone good that does rust repairs ?? Ive had a look at lurchs but he is not answering my calls..... Probably because he is flat out. But Yeh just wanted to really fix up all the rust so i can get the shell up and ready!

Hey guys, Wondering if it would be realistic to pick up a 260z 2seater shell for around 1k?? Not really fussed on the condition within reason. Got everything else for the car, so literally just a basic shell.

Cheers Roberto! I must say tho that it feels weird, cause ive stalked your build so many times, and have all your pictures saved onto my phone! Cheers, unfortunatly its not quite, ive found heaps of stuff once ive started peeling off the paint... Amazing what a little bog and paint can hide! P.s HUGE FAN of your car! inspiration to my build!! love the colors and everything!

Hey Scoota, Pretty sure its not. However I may be wrong. Not totally confident with the nitty gritty engine knowledge. Wanting to change that But do you think its worth converting ?? Do tell me more !

And I welcome any thoughts and feedback! Im only a noob and it would be good to hear from all the pros on this site!

More Pics will be up soon !

Hey guys, Been reading all your treads and I must say, there is some serious work being done to many Z cars around the country, inspired me to start work on one of my own! Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had this massive fascination with Z-cars, and it’s weird cause no one in my family had ever owned or had driven one. All I’ve seen were pictures in magazines and that’s about it. So anyway, I start Uni this year, and figured I would have some spare time to finally start one of my dream cars. Towards the end of last year I purchased a 1974 Datsun 260z 2+2 from Leo in Sydney. I purchased it on Ebay for about $2,750 + $350 in transportation. I know what you guys are thinking, “why on earth did I purchase a bus” but there were two reasons for this, one is that I like the fact of having some seats in the back, just in case a couple of people need a life, and two because its heaps cheaper than a 240z and being a uni student there was no way of being able to spend that much $$. Once it arrived I had to change the fuel pump, as the old ones gasket was gone, and it drove AMAZINGLY!! Love the rawness of the car, and the sheer power. This was also the first car I’ve ever bought, so I had big plans for the beast! I drove it around for the next couple of months (on temp rego), till I decided to start work on it. After careful inspection of the car and talking to a couple of people, I have decided to take the car back to bare metal, and build it up from there. Two reasons for that, one is that I wanted to paint it another colour, and two is that I wanted to see what I was up against. The car has one major rust spot on the rear left door skirting and I believe that that is the cause of the bad rusting under the rear left seat as well. The car also has some pretty bad bog filling, where one of the previous owners have tried to fix the rust, however did it very poorly. Other than normal small rust spots here and there around the car, it seems to be pretty clean and straight. After taking the car back to bare metal, I’m hoping to sand out all the superficial rust, and then hoping to go with a dark midnight blue, with black rims and black flares. Once the body is done I will then move to the suspension where I’m going to go with a coil over system, and replace all the bushels. After that I’m going to put in the original engine, with a triple Webber system, as well as a manual conversion. All the above should keep me busy for the next couple of months, so I haven’t really considered the interior or anything else yet.
