Looking at buying a 71 240z, could use some advice

[26th-Z]

I'm in agreement with all of the advice you're getting. The blue '71 is toast for everyone except the most hardy with delusions of perversion. Probably the best bodywork pictorial currently on this site is: take432r Gallery - Classic Zcar Club Photo Gallery if you want to see what it could be like, but also, how smaller areas should be done.

I might have to look at that San Mateo car myself. My 280 is almost done so I need another project, my wife doesn't think so, but what does she know!

I suspect she knows you only too well!

Wow, the community here is really amazing. You are all a great group of people! Thanks again for everything guys. Hopefully I can post again soon with some pictures of purchased Z. Cheers!

That orange Z in San Mateo looks like a great deal, especially considering all the work that has been done. In the picture showing the hatch you can see a little rust off to the left. Still, definitely worth a look. Hopefully a member here buys it and reports back on it.

This thread just reminds me how cool place this forum is. Hope you get what you are looking for Actionape!
