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!

im thinking holden tungsten..

similar colour between the silver and gold 240K's released. but bit cleaner more modern colour

painted that colour a few times, looks good fresh.

yeah should go well with the chrome!

Thought this works as a good door piece

Gave the crossmember a quick sand

Crossmember and control arms painted

Hey who knows what drum brakes are the same as 240k. Rear disk conversion isn't complete on this and would rather just put drums on for now

zeds?

260z should work quite simply and be a decent upgrade. Fins on/in the drums I believe??

yeh alloy fined

The other silver looked cheap n yuck so trying something different. Turned out more of a navy ship grey

I'm about to get big shelves welded up in the shed so I'll be able to sort all my stuff out. Like my 5 tail light panels and 15 door trims n maybe sell some stuff

I've been distracted by buying trail bike and my bike license, so I'll get back into it!!
