It is actually just up the road from me. LOL. Gonna look at it on the weekend if it is still there.

As asked. :-) Bought with a blown headgasket, otherwise in mint condition, no rust or dents, just dirty as. And at the moment with life all she is collecting is dust as I am still on my P's. :-( Full engine rebuild, with two GT28's, aiming for a reliable 500 at the wheels, only mods visually from stock is rims and height. Interior will be stock too. So I just need something I can work on on the side that keeps my slow momentum going as I wait for the rest of the GTR parts to arrive.

/Restoring an R32 GTR - Time and effort is not a problem - In restoring the rule of thumb is you spend 60 - get back 20. I don't build my cars for any kind of resale. And I don't budget for the build. LOL. I KNOW shells themselves cannot be registered - the fact anyone thought I was implying that is ludicrous. I can do all the work myself, from the rust repairs right down to the Interior retrimming. (Sad part about having a bossy girlfriend - you learn to sew too) I don't build cars for any return in value at all.I build them to enjoy them - building them to sell them for a profit is like having a girlfriend, buying her a heap of nice clothes and then just getting rid of her for no good reason. You don't even get to have fun with it when you just build it, never drive it and just sell it - Or at least I don't anyway - there are those who do. The reason I am looking for a clean shell is because I have multiple sets of RB motors with gearboxes, several rear cradles, and enough other GTR parts to make the Nissan factory proud. I would like to build - in the long run - a GTR R32 into a classic Zed, ATTESSA, HICAS, the whole shebang, but I don't think I could have the patience to do it. Let alone the lunacy to bother. I just want one I can build as a project. If it isn't a two seater that is fine - but if it isn't - I ain't paying megabux for it unless the shell is completely rust free. 3-4k seemed reasonable for a decent nick 2+0 shell - but obviously I'm five years too late, and in the wrong country. LOL. Zeds are still cheap in the U.S Ironically - because we are closer to japan than they are. So - anyone here know of anyone with a clean VIN shell, 240,260,280z - coupe or 2+2?

That is exactly it. :-) The fact the above group of "handy man objects" couldn't figure that out when it was rather black and white amused me. Also the other "handy man objects" in the thread are humerous. Shows you that there are idiots everywhere you go. I'm SURE there is at least ONE half decent structurally OK 240 or 260 Coupe shell. Surface rust and rusted guard lips, booth pan and a bit in the gutters doesn't bother me. As long as it is not structural. Must have a clean VIN as it is intended to be a road car when done. If I wanted a full on race car - I wouldn't have needed to ask here. So - anyone know anyone in the sydney area with one? I am a bit chummy on the 2+2's - and wouldn't mind one as long as it was a relatively good shell, but I'm sure most of us want a 2 seater as that is what I see as cool - and what I grew up riding in once a week.

Uh. I said Rolling Shell that is registerable. Since when did rolling shell mean complete car? You laugh at me because you think I am asking for a complete vehicle for bugger all money. When I am laughing at you for not being able to comprehend that shell that is registerable = shell with wheels an diff at most, and some panels. Not complete car. With a clear title. So I ask again. Anyone have a 240/260coupe rolling shell with a clear VIN, for under four grand? There is a complete coupe going for five that isnt regoed an I assume is swiss cheese metal wise. An orange one. Cant remember which site I saw it on. I am looking for a project vehicle that can fill my boring ass weekends with something entertainig.

Anyone here wanna trade a registerable 260z shell (in OK nick) for an RB26DETT Long motor + Gearbox per chance? In sydney. If not - anyone have a 260 coupe shell (rolling preferably) under 4 K? Registerable.. Text on 0431045486. Thanks - Martin.
