I just wanted to thank all of you who replied to my thread. Your comments and advice really helped me out.

I just got a new job, and with it I will be able to purchase the poor 240Z that needs so much TLC.

I decided I want to pursue the project as long as the guy doesn't sell the car before I can buy it.

so thanks to: laffeaux, 2ManyZs, Marty Rogan, and Ed

If I get the car I will be doing all the work myself and I will post many updates to show her progress. I also wouldn't mind a few extra hands, so if anyone is interested and they live in the North Illinois Suburbs, leave me a message. Thanks Again.

You never mentioned what the interior looks like. Hope you have a good time with her!

Yep, and send some pictures of the car. Do you have a digital camera?

Hey Dragon-

may be too late, but there's a Z for sale on this forum for 1K and it looks like it's in good shape (exterior). No info about the engine or interior but pretty low mileage. This might be a good car to restore. Look for the post from SeattleM. Another member has shown interest but who knows. Good luck with it.
