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??
