She's beautiful! But.... I wouldn't have that big ducktail on it...

But she's hot nonetheless!

Personally I love the look of the spoiler and the fender flares. Not very often you see a convertible with flares to begin with and I think the spoiler looks great since you took the time and did a nice job of blending it in.

Paul,

That's a real beauty!!! Did you do the body work yourself? I would be interested in seeing some pix of the interior and the trunk too. Does it have a soft top? That would be interesting to see also. Are those aftermarket seats, or transplants from a different make of car?

Nice work!

A sweet ride, i've seen other 240's with no top and they didn't look right to me but yours is killer.

thanks for the compliments marty. the seat s came out of a honda crx. i don't know what year. it was dark. i'll have to take more pictures of the interior for you. i have a pic of the trunk in picture gallery section. i did all the body work myself. if you were as close as i am you could tell. but i'll do better next time.

Paul,

I did see the pix of the outside of the trunk. It looks great. I was wondering what the inside of the trunk looked like. Did you finish the interior? Does it have much useable space?

The part I like best about Paul's car is that he made the trunk lid big enough to allow acess to the rear struts. Most of the kits and all the other home made trunklids I have seen have been to small to allow acess. Therefore they had to raise the panel behind the seats to allow you to get to the strut mounts which IMO doesn't look as good as Paul's. Great job!

I guess even if you put a panel across the strut towers to close off the "trunk" you would still have room for a couple small suitcases or a golf bag. Probably have as much room or more than a Miata or Honda S2000.

If you ever decide to sell, can I get my name near the top of the list??

what kind of side skirts are those?

[Mr Camouflage]

i have a pic of the trunk in picture gallery section.

That walking stick come standard with the boot lid or is it an optional extra?

[paul dinnell]

the side skirts came from msa. the walking stick came from a 90 year old hitch hiker.

had a nice sunny day last thurday so i had to race out and get some new pics. had to clean the snow out of the driveway but what the hay. its cold but not to cold. 5 c. thats about 42 f. the car is a 1972 240z 2.8L, tripple mikunis, cam headers, 280z 5 speed and a r200 3.9 rear end.

Nice. How much power are u putting out?

[paul dinnell]

Ive never had it on a dyno. If i had to guess id say about 200 rwh. Its fast enough for me. And she gets about 15mpg in town if i keep my foot out of her.
