Z Kid Posted November 15, 2005 Share #1 Posted November 15, 2005 It is with a heavy heart that I am offering my Z for sale. I will become one of those people who took on a restoration and ran out of steam before they finished it. The way I see it is as a student working part time and owning 4 cars, I cant afford the money or the time to do the car justice. What you get; 1973 240Z Car is totally stripped down to all components. Has been to bare metal with new floors and under floor rails Still needs a bit of rust work, but most of the pain in the arse stuff done. Car was an auto, but will come with manual pedal box and bits, plus two good 5 speed gearboxes. Parts All plastic interior panels present most in good condition 2 sets of tail lights (one excellent set one good set) Reskinned Dash Working clock plus three sets of gauges 2 240Z motors complete 1 260Z motor 1 Spare E88 Head 2 complete sets of 240Z suspension Some 2+2 suspension bits 4 diffs, 3.54, 3.7, 3.9 I think G nose 5 piece from japan G nose bonnet hinges new in box ZG style flares from japan New in box fender mirrors All hinging panels excellent except for the LHS guard. (All bare metal with a single coat of etch primer, so you know what youa re getting) 2 Windscreens Spare side windows Extractors Spare excellent loom King LOW Springs Rotiesserie Tub is alright nick, needs a bit of panel work, but pretty alright really. I am sure there is more but that will do for a start I DO NOT WANT TO PART IT OUT, You take one piece you take the whole damn lot. Alternately you could buy either a 59 Landrover, or 62 Mini 850 with 998 Donk (both in excellent nick) and I can keep the Z. I am after 5500 for the whole lots of Z stuff. If you are going to be a tool and make an inappropriate comment about the price, feel free to do so in your own thread. (rough breakdown, 1500ish purchase price, 1400 paint removal, 250 Floors, 300 dash, 1500 nose and shipping etc, 80 frame rails, rear patch panel repair bits 50, 150 Etch primer, boxes 300 each (600), spare suspension 300, 260 motor 150, diffs 100 each (500 bucks worth), mirrors, hinges etc not cheap) The list goes on. ONCE AGAIN FOR THE PEANUT GALLERY, take all smart arsed comments and put them in your own thread. THe problem with idiots posting thier unneeded comments here is that you will drag me down to your idiot level then beat me with experience. Pictures of most stuff in Gallery, will take more of anything you want to see. Email or PM me with any specific questions, or I can be called on 0422504004.

Gav240z Posted November 16, 2005 Share #4 Posted November 16, 2005 I'm very interested in the ZG gear if you decide to part anything out. I'm sorry to hear your going this way, I was once a student and understand how you feel but there will be a time when your working and money that you used to struggle to put together is right there for you. Try to hold out and not sell it, personally I'd rather see you sell the other cars to keep the Zed.best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s130 Posted November 16, 2005 Share #5 Posted November 16, 2005 If I was you, I would do what I could to keep a hold of that car. You have obsiviously put in time and money into it already so keep it and wait until you finish your studies. It will be worth the wait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenz240z Posted November 16, 2005 Share #6 Posted November 16, 2005 Please, don't sell it! You'll end up kicking yourself later on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z Kid Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share #7 Posted November 16, 2005 I know if I sell it I am going to regret it. However that said, there is limited storage space at home, and bsaically all of it, plus my bedroom is full of bits and pieces, and the last few times I have been down to the shed to work on cars, its no longer been fun, but rather made me angry. And when it comes to that, its just not worth owning the old cars anymore. I'll keep one, so it just depends on which two sell first, but I think the one I will end up with will be the least desirable of the lot (the Landy).Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Camouflage Posted November 16, 2005 Share #8 Posted November 16, 2005 When it stops being fun, take a break from it. Sell the Mini and the Landy. The Z is far more desirable. Enjoy the summer.Get back into it when you feel like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
