hey guys

Last weekend i bought a 76' 240k, (posted it in my ride section)

Just got a few questions about some things i will get started on, as im new to the datto scene!

now i know parts are going to be hard to come by, but so far from what i can see..

-2 front doors would be good to get hold of as these are rusted out. no big deal as im replacing other rusted out areas with new metal

-the rear seat is badly torn at the top as well as front seats are ripped. (reupholstered?)

-rear garnish left hand side chrome strip is needing to be replaced

-i have got a set of twin SU's off what i beleive a 240z. are these worthy of putting on as the motor will be coming out and freshened up

-grille is a bit rusted.. maybe a replacement

-Both front and rear bumpers are dented

-Dash is cracked, but the dash mat has been completly glued on! :ogre:

-drivers door panel has been cracked- but both have GT badges, as well as grille

Good points on the car is:

-All wood around guages and center console is perfect

-All guages and dash lights work

-fan works

-all lights work

-has a/c

-5 speed

-car is drivable and drives not too bad

-has original steering wheel, radio and tape player

The story goes i was told it was a gt. but compliance plates do not have gt stamped on it. so im unsure. doesnt bother me too much. and information on these cars is so hard to come by. Doesnt seem to be definitive answers.

but im going to drive it around for a couple more weeks, then its coming home to be stripped apart, full panel work, spray job, engine bay, motor freshened, interior, etc etc..

what are your experiences and suggestions with the fun i have to come??

Cheers!

You can get black ones too. I think it was for different models.

My c210 badges are f****d but the GT badges are actually Black GL badges

I haven't seen these for sale so ill use red GT ones instead

Look at this on eBay:

~ GT CAR BADGE Chrome Emblem *NEW* Datsun C110 ? Nissan ? 240K ? *NEW*

yes thats the ones i bought.. and i compared it with the gt badge that was on the car... odd..

Ahh I see its a fair whack smaller. But when it's on the car with the skyline script would the size difference be that noticeable?

Could always restore the original ones

could be a 210 gt badge or just a crap copy. The G isn't the same as the original where as this one looks the same

????GT???*???????*????*GC110 - Yahoo!?????? - ????!

I vote crap copy....doesn't look to different. Enought to notice

Linked one looks nice

Can you PM the part numbers / or where you got all the rear bushes?

Sorry man they were on the car when I bought it

sad panda.

The K has been pushed to the side lately because Ive sold my Suzuki and buying a brand new ktm 350exc next week!

But these rolled up from Japan

so trying to get motivation to get stuck into the k again. my heater box was removed by the previous owner for whatever reason, so got one out of a wreck out and cleaned it all up and realised one of the clips is broken that controls the circulation. not only that im thinking theres going to be lots missing. what a pain. anyone have spare controls, clips or the likes?

my parts are motivation

broken clip

Looking at all those parts...... i have a certain hatred against you haha jks mate.

If i may ask how much where the skyline badges?

Also Blue GT = N/A Red GT = Turbo.
