hls30.com Posted July 3, 2004 Share #13 Posted July 3, 2004 Cut the car at the front of the door openings, and again behind the front shock towers, (so you get the firewall,dash, and everything attatched to it) get the console,and fender vin plate, and you will have everything that would be hard to find! Then use the pieces to put one back together with a more sound car-maybe. Let the rest go to the rust god!Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hls30.com Posted July 4, 2004 Share #15 Posted July 4, 2004 Carl,My reign is improving! I am still passing gravel(anyone with a fish-tank in need?), and feeling cranky, but I hope to be mostly up and around by Monday-I have a rotisserie, a car, some stuff from Zedd Findings, and they all need to get intimate this week! The car must be pretty damn close to through by November!Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nota280 Posted July 4, 2004 Share #16 Posted July 4, 2004 This Fairlady has been on ebay before. The bid started at $999 and of course there were no takers. Seeing the outside makes you wonder about the condition of the frame rails. It would be pointless to cut off the front end not knowing how much is left.I'd be interested in knowing how they came up with 10 of these in the United States. I have one sitting in my garage.

I've never had the experience before, but I can imagine that it's zero fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hls30.com Posted July 4, 2004 Share #18 Posted July 4, 2004 Thanks Carl, but I'm not sure "normal" and I belong in the same room, much less the same sentance! The frame rails are the same rh and lh drive, the important stuf is on the firewall, the dash, the pedal mounts, the streeling mounts, the master cyl... I have hardly ever seen a Z with a completely rotten firewall-and it is the main difference between the rh and lh cars. Even if the floor and rails are gone, replacements can be found. the firewall,and a decent donor car is all that is needed to do a changeover! As to 10 in the states-probably just to hype the sale!

Mr Camouflage Posted July 4, 2004 Share #19 Posted July 4, 2004 10 in the Us huh? Apart from beinf RHD is just a 280z 2+2. You are better off with the bigger engine of the 280z. There are lots of 2+2's in Australia. I cut one up into little pieces a few weeks ago. Just doing my bit to reduce the number of rusty z hunchbacks around. The only good 2+2 is one that been striped for parts to save a 2 seater. Just kidding. I've seen 2 really nice 2+2's. Not all of them deserve the crusher.

Are you going to take the part needing blasting behind the woodshed, and uh, "blast it"? LOL :tapemouth j/k:classic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hls30.com Posted July 4, 2004 Share #21 Posted July 4, 2004 Fluid blasting! Ed, I hadn't thought of that, but even though I have a good supply of "media". I am not sure I could drink enough fast enough to keep a "steady Stream" let alone keep enough pressure behind it! Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
