1972 240z Restoration (lots of rust)

3 years ago my uncle sent me pics of a 240z that's been sitting in a carport for 15 years, I wanted it from the moment I first saw it! The guy wanted 2500$ for it but I couldn't afford it, I asked my parents nearly every day for it. Two years later I gave up trying and bought a '51 Ford for 500$, but it wasn't what I really wanted! I still wanted this little Datsun. So back in October of 2015 the guy put the 240z online forsale and Dad was the first caller, her remembered the kid who wanted it 3 years ago (me) and agreed to sell me it for 1300$! But there was one problem.. A 14 year old doesn't have 1300$ to buy a car... So my dad made me a deal that he'd but me the car but I have to give him my truck to sell! And I did! However there were ALOT of people trying to get this (even had a guy get mad at me because he was going to buy it) anyways I went to school the next day and I assumed someone else got it because dad never sent me any pics of it home or updated me. Little did I know he was at the guys house waiting to buy it all morning (Big thanks to him) and when I walked in the garage when I got home I nearly cried, I was so damn happy. The car I wanted for 3 years I finally owned. The previous owner had it for 23 years, and for the last 15 years the 240z sat in a carport near the road. So it was super dusty and pretty dirty, and the interior was filthy. But I wasn't worried about the khakis I ruined, I jumped in and sat in my dream car. It's currently June 15th, 2016 and I'm still shocked that I own it. Everytime I see it I smile. It's only been in the corner of the garage waiting it's turn for a restoration but I already have over 300 photos of it haha. I a bit obsessed with it. To most people it's just this rusted out 240z that needs more money put into it than it will ever be worth... But to me it's this beautiful dream car and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. Who cares if it needs lots of work, who cares if I dump lots of money in it. It's my dream car and is priceless to me. I love it. This is a blog of the long build! Probably won't be updated for a while because i need to save up some money before I start. Floor is solid but isn't done right.. Some dumbass put tar over the floors... So that's all getting cut out. Along with the bottoms of the fenders, bottoms of the doors, rockers, from chassis rails, from floor by the pedal area and that area of the firewall, the driver side rear wheel arch, front hood lip and I'm sure there's much more hidden under the old bodywork... I'm sure I'll uncover some rough areas that were covered with bondo! Feel free to leave comments or suggestions. Also I'm looking for the passenger side corner trim for the windshield. The part that connects the rest of the trim!
