My 260z

[axelr8]

Hey, this is my first zed..its a 1975 2seater 260z, i bought it about a month and a half ago, it has an L28, the body isnt in such a bad condition but there are signs that bog has been used because there are cracks in certain areas. The chassis is straight and perfect, the interior isnt perfect with bad cracks on the dash, centre console etc in okay condition, seats are ok, in need of new carpets, ive already started stripping the car down and getting her ready for a restoration. I will probably get the car sandblasted and taken to a panelbeater to get all the rust fixed and any dents etc, im still having trouble what colour to paint her im thinking maybe metallic orange, metallic red with a bit of orange in it or a canary yellow. I will most likely take out the L28 and replace it with an RB26DETT. I will upload progress pics so keep an eye out.

Not to bad mate, based on what is visible in the photo. Looks like you've got a sun roof as well! Are those down-under override bumpers on the front end??? Well, I guess you've got your work cut out for you now with a restoration. Good luck and stay focused.

What rust - looks pretty good.

Out of curiosity, can you tell us how much you paid for this?

If you get rid of the L28, you might be able to make up some cash by selling it off. The L28 is becoming pretty popular.

Am I telling you how to suck eggs???

Sorry

You've got a fair bit of work ahead of you by the sounds of it... for your own sake I hope you WANT the sunroof!!!

Maybe if you're after an orangy colour you might like to look at the Lamborghini yellow/orange/red metallic they've got. I think the two below are two different colours..........

Yellow... Ferarri yellow.

Oh I forgot to mention, no 240ZX, those are not Aussie overriders, they're just on upside down :stupid: :stupid: :stupid:

[240ZX]

Your so gullable, it's just a little humor Alphadog. Anyone knows they are upside down....that's the funny part mate!!!

[biker]

We call them under riders down here not over riders. :classic:

Confusious say -- If they were on upside down, down under, would that not make them right way up.

ROFL

I got the car with the bumpers that way ... it looks like a set of fangs. Yeah im keeping the sunroof, theres not much rust just superficial, i payed $5600 for it.. i like that colour on the top lamborghini so i think i might just go with the metallic orange, ive been through the process of restoring a car with my dad (Datsun 120Y) so this is a second. Heres a pic of the 120Y.

That's an awesome 120Y !!!
