Cancel the sale and breathe some life into this baby. Tell the missus, its her or the car....that should sort out priorities. It is the only way

"Will take reasonable offers. Or any if you ask my wife " I had to laugh when I read this, seems like its a common theme, my wife feels exactly the same way about my Z. So far so good, after a few uncomfortable silences I have managed to hang on to 'the rust bucket' as she affectionately calls it....for now.....

Mate, that is beautiful Z. Well done. Sad that you have to sell. David

Thanks for your feedback Scoota G.

I am looking to breathe some more life into my 2+2 and checking the WEB for new/replacement bits, I have noticed it is hard to find readily available bits for this model. I am hoping I am wrong as I haven't spent too long looking and am looking forward to giving the car a birthday. Items like hatch seals, suspension bush kits, air cond condensers, appear hard to find. There seems to be more available for the more popular 2 doors models understandably, but not so much for the 2+2's. I was wondering if this is what other members have found. I am reluctant to do any further work on the car if I will be stuck not being able to replace key wear items. Also given the 2+2's are not that popular and don't sell for much I am hesitant to go down this path. Anyone have any thoughts or advice?

That is a work of art... I wish I had the cash!

Thanks to both of you for your feedback. Much appreciated. I will make sure I advertise this properly in future. Currently, I am putting a kit through the twin HD8 SU's at the moment to replace the diaphragms and float shutoffs as they were perished and leaky. Will put photos and further detail for the sale when this is done and car is running well. David

The market ain't wot it used to be! Is anyone restoring these cars anymore? I expected more interest.

For sale Datsun 260z 2+2 (1972) Has been garaged for the last 7 years. I got it out and started it last week, albeit F40 Black Widow alarm system installed - wiring needs to be sorted. F40 Alarm linked into installed AM central locking - needs re-wiring as currently not working. Work done in past to it prior to garaging inclues Engine reconditioned, Re-skinned dash, Twin British SU Carbies-reconditioned, other bibs and bobs. Usual rust is coming through on bonnett and some other areas. Structurally the car is ok , but feel free to come and inspect. Non standard aftermarket seats installed. Manual Transmission Some cracks on rear seat. Centreline style mags on car and comes with 4x alternative wheels (star shaped mags) Front Air Dam on car similar to Warren Gilbert's Blue Zed - also very similar metallic colour Could be a good parts car or if someone puts in the elbow grease, a good runner. I have kept it all this time with the intent to restore it to its former glory, but alas - with a mortgage and a wife, I am forced to face up to reality and abandon this pipe dream as I soon realize that I will never have the time or resources to get this done and can't hold the car any longer due to space its taking up. Wifey wants it gone Looking for around $3,400 AUD or near offer. Am happy for anyone local to inspect if they are interested and make me a resonable offer. Can send photos if you are interested. Let me know your email details. Thanks David
