After a good 6 months looking I finally found a 240k that is in a reasonable but requiring resto condition.

During the search I was offered a 180b sss coupe with only 2 previous owners. As I cant say no I ended up buying it, then up came a 200b sss coupe in pieces for a small amount of money and I bought that. Then up came the 240k so now I have 3 cars all requiring resto works to various levels.

Plans for the 240k are to fit the GTR style front and rear spoliers and flares. the front grille is a bit expensive with the funds I currently have so that may have to wait. May keep the engine as standard but with the 200b came a manual 240k box so may use this unless I go for a complete powerplant change and go for later skyline running gear.

Looking for a bit of advice as I may keep the 240k with a reasonably year related engine setup but not sure yet. What is the best way to go regarding engines.

The 240k will be a sunday driver but the 180b will be set up to do a few track days etc so maybe looking at a 4 cylinder turbo setup.

Will post up some pics at the weekend.

do what I did. buy the 1600 but keep looking for the car you really want. before you know it you will have 5 cars and wont sell any!!

Well I didn't buy the 1600 but I've just agreed to buy a 1976 260C Coupe.

Just need to find a 260 forum for advice :-)

I think they look pretty cool. Any pics?

Here are a couple

Looks good. Maybe because of the style of car and the people that owned them there seems to be some really clean examples around in the c body shape.

Was that on gumtree in Victoria?

Yes it was Adam

There were 2 cars but I just bought one due to shipping cost.

Why, have you seen it or know about it?

Saw the ad when it was posted but I didn't have the cash. You bought the $1500 or $3000 one??

$3000 one

I used CEVA transport to get my 240 from melb to bris. Cost me $750 for running car (only just) door to door.

Ah good buy mate. Well done
