Good luck with sale mate.

Depends - what is the scope you need done? Big difference from just pulling a trigger to doing prep also. The prep is the money and result. Prep is why so many home paint jobs look crap - not just painting skill.

I sorta like it but feel like I am bad for saying it.

Postage is free because it is pick up only??

Yep no drama. I will send you a message with my details.

Yeah saw them on Ebay, shame I can't get there weekdays They also have/had some side windows advertised on Ebay that looked in ok condition.

Shut up and take my money!!!!!!

Wow. Come have a holiday in QLD and spend 5 hours at my place!!!! Well done! I am dreading this job.

Yeah mate. I am home all weekend other than Saturday afternoon I will be out (after 2pm).

Hi mate. About 8 as is or 10 if I put everything back on and get running again. I am only home on weekends if you want to look.

Hi Hayden, I have one that I am toying of selling or swapping. Might not be what you are after as a build up with your son but take a look at the link below and drop me a message if interested. I am located in Caloundra. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/16046-240z-73-what-is-it-worth/

Hey guys, Looking for snot to do a auto to man conv on my 240. If you have anything to help please message me.

If you want to sell let me know as a mate of mine would look at it for sure.

I also agree provided the 'finished' car is done to a good standard and that can be verified. Guy in my street paid big money for a finished XA and time revealed that the workmanship was not so hot. I would add to your comment that money/time/effort should go into properly checking a car out before you buy it and that might mean paying someone some money and then, maybe, walking away from a car. Some people are blessed with time and mucking around with cars is better than anything they can think of. Some peoples skillset allows for them to restore a car at a reasonable price. BUT..... if we don't have people interested in the cars, restoring them, drawling over the finished ones etc etc etc, then the interest might not be what it is - my opinion anyway.

Yeah mate, to be honest the prices have just moved to much in recent years to get anything worth playing with for under 10K - maybe even more if I am honest. That said, you sometimes see a bargain (a friend got a Ok 260 2+2 very very cheap which I have been trying to buy off him haha). The best advice I received was to concentrate more on the cost to complete (even if you do most of the work yourself) when looking at the buy price of a car. I did up a very simple spreadsheet (which was well under priced when I review) of all things I could think of and what I though it would cost and I would just select the relevant ones when looking at each car - doing this really stopped me from buying a total POS. This paid off when we blasted the car as there was not so many surprises etc. I know of two 240s plus one of my own that are around that figure but no one is really trying to sell just thinking of it. My advice for what it is worth and pending your skillset would be to save a bit more and buy into something complete and in OKish condition - just try to save at a rate faster than the appreciation of these cars. Cheers Cliff

Yeah, I had asked him for a price to send to Australia and he gave me a 'quick price' of $80. Hmmmmm Maybe if a few..................

May all your beers be cold Peter. When I added those magic words to my Google search the world turned wonderful.

Welcome make. Once had a TD myself but they do actually bend around trees when you are young, dumb etc etc. What condition is the 280?

No plans. Photos attached from before removed.

Thanks ! Yeah I was sort of thinking it might not be a once off looking at the fit. The car looks to have been previously used in rally sport or something because it has a roll cage (removed yesterday), weathered race seats, on-board FE etc etc so I thought it might be something in that space - nothing on Dr Google. I just like to check before I chuck stuff over the right shoulder.

Any ideas on this?

I'd be keen on the following pending condition and price etc. - all for 240. Doors Centre console Drivers side fender (if it is better than trying to fix mine) My number is 0418106613

I will see you guys there! Looking forward to seeing all the cars. I just hope I don't purchase something.

As a bit of an update, I am considering buying a 260 thus if anyone wants to do a trade (+ money either way to round out value) send me a message. I am building another 240 atm and am away from home working most of the time so I am in no hurry if that helps anyone. If not I will prob just buy one when I pull my finger out and sell the 240. I am located in Caloundra. Cliff
