Hi Guys and Girls!!
Another long time "perve" (and now brand new member) of this site, have recently been lucky enough to purchase locally (Gold Coast) a 1976 260Z 2 seater (it made your Cars for Sale section at the time…). Is a nice runner but the paint job isn't great (and I don't want it to get rusty) and the interior is, hmmmm, the only way I can describe it is BROWN!! Not to my taste but very 70's so everyone who has seen it assures me…..
Love reading about your builds, while I don't have to skills (today) to do what a lot of you do, it is incredibly motivating to see and read what is possible. Not sure about long term plans for her, isn't strictly original (was a bronze auto, now a red manual), 240Z round tops, but is matching numbers engine / chassis, so I'm not sure I want to mess with this one too badly. Maybe down the track a nice rorty triple carb L28 build, but until then…. Just enjoy the driving!! And maybe keep an eye out for more of a project type build….
Will ad some pics when I have some nice ones (Haha, has there ever been a not nice pic of Z Car??), look forward to chatting / meeting / picking the great minds that inhabit this community… And to continue laughing at the brutal honesty of a majority of the responses (and while I'm sure at some stage I will be on the receiving end), it is refreshing to see (and hopefully become part of) a group of people who so willingly share knowledge and experience and passion….
