Walkingpig,

Sorry, I dont have a shell for you, how bad is yours can you take some pictures and post them, it may not be as bad as you think.

Somebody may have a repair scheme or suggest someone cappable of doing the repair for you. I wish you luck finding the shell.

as a side issue could you tell me the production detail from you existing Zed

I would like to know your body number and original data plate engine number and maybe the compliance plate date so I can put it in the Zed Register.

Try Ian (idredge@iinet.net.au). He lives in Perth, owns about 15 Z-cars and may be able to help you. He regularly advertises on ozdat.com

what exactly do you need from my car?

its still got matching numbers right now

i've got a few pics, its the drip rails my usual panel and paint guy is worried about?

basicall the rear slam panel for the boot? its gone

both the drip rails are right through, in front of the drivers side guard is right through underneath for a good 6" by 2" and on top has a small hole through

And the drivers floor is pretty much all rust

so you can see why i want a new shell

has anyone got Ians account so ican PM him - he hasn't replied to emails!

Anyone else got shells

anyways Curtis let me know what you want and it'll be not a problem, i'm going to keep stripping her down tomorrow so i can take some photos then

Walkingpig,

the information I am after is the information from the manufacturers data plate " HS30-XXXXXX & L24 XXXXXX & from the ADR Compliance plate if fitted 3/71 or 9/73 to place the time of arrival.

To the corrosion problems with the existing shell, it sounds severe in some area's, the site's sound familiar as places where the shell does fail, I am sure that repair schemes are available for most of what you have identified. I think your pictures should draw some good comments.

I had some major repairs completed on my shell on both sides and the centre of the rear, last year in North Ipswich, the company specialised in rare and unique body repair.

cheers

Charles - fix it, unless it's un-recognisable as a 240Z it's fixable!!!!
