Does anyone have pics of standard floor pan and chassis rails?

Thanks for the replies. Yes I think that is the Waggot that did the engine. I was surprised to hear that the chassis rails under the floor are not original. I will take some close up shots and re post. I must say the floor pans look very basic on these compared to a lot of cars. I am not sure what the colour is, will have to look further into it. It does not seem to have an ID plate anywhere. Chassis No is HS30-012919 The V8 is apparently lighter than the 6 as it is all alloy. If I did the car to keep I would probably keep the v8 in it. I would obviously not get rid of the original motor. The v8 uses the 240z gearbox and no body mods were done to fit it apart from the bonnet hump. On a side note, but still on the "introduction" side, Although I am in the automotive parts import/manufacture business I also do tours to Japan. I take people through the car factories, museums, cars shows etc. In January I was in the Nissan Heritage Collection Hall at the Nissan Factory and thought all would like these pics. I have also included a few pics from the Tokyo Auto Salon. Apologies if posted in wrong section or if they have been posted before.

Hi, Need a hatch for a 1972 240z. mine is beyond repair, but has the window. Prefer north queesnland

I used to own a brake business, and I think it was in about 2003 or 2004 that they banned the sale and fitterment of Asbestos brake pads. I still saw asbestos brake shoes and pads being sold after this time. Even without asbestos brake dust is not good for your health so better not to breath it.

Hi all, I saw my first 240z when I was about 13. My dads friend parked it at our house for about 2 weeks. I thought it was so cool. It was very sporty, and I loved the "race car" look basic interior. The car had triple webbers at the time with a waggot cam and waggot head work. I got to drive this same car when I was about 17 or 18, but it now had a p76 V8 Engine in it. Coupled with a button clutch it was fun to drive. That was in the late 80's. Now I finally have bought one. And not any old one, the actual car I first saw when I was 13. The car sat in a shed for 27 years. Unfortunately the shed needed some restoration, and the leaking roof and open front, has not been kind to this car. I am not sure if it is past it. I have seen cars that look worse on the internet being restored. As the say about every car on ebay. "this car has rust in all the usual places" e.g. any steel parts..... The hatch and the bonnet are absolutely buggered. throw away for sure. It has little rust in the hatch catch area on the body, and none in the spare wheel well, which I believe is unusual. It also has rust in the drivers plliar adjacent to the door hinges. It will need, dog legs, door skins, sills, bottom of gaurds, at least one floor pan, I have the original motor with the car including the triple webbers. So I would like to hear peoples opinions, can she be saved??
