Willing to ship? 01532

Small update: Got the gas tank R200 (3.9) egr block offs for the lt-1 power steering pump bypass pully All still need to be installed. Still need to get my surge tank and high pressure pump.

new shoes

Let the fun begin!

Haven't had a lot of time to work on the car itself but it now has a home to live in for the time being I plan on getting crates for the base and putting plywood on those to allow for a dry, flat surface to work on. More updates soon!

Its now home!

wet sanding is happening.. Bringing it home by the end of the month.

Some updates: started on the engine bay. Did a test spray on the roof to see how many coats it needs. Currently:

so the project begins....again! Just picked this thing up and plan on swapping all of the fun stuff out of it and into the new shell

Supplies to repair the body ordered and delivered. Hoping to see some updates soon. As far as reinforcements go, I will need to see what kind of space we have in the engine bay for the strut tower bar after the v8 is in place. The rear will most likely get one as well, but the car is getting the bad dog parts full length frame rail kit as well as the roll bar/cage kit installed as well. It should be quite stiff when all is said and done.

Thanks! it might be a little while. We are focusing on the body first then the drivetrain.

Update: We decided to go with another shell. Just picked this one up today and it is officially a 240Z now (all of it) Still on the hunt for a manual trans for the LT1....

new (small) update!

Yep just checked that today. They match, but in Maine it wouldnt matter at this point with the cars age

Maybe one of these days we might see silver metal

we checked the stamp on the firewall..it starts with RLS...so I guess 260?

All of the stamps in the engine bay and engine indicate that the front section is a 72 240z. The doorjam indicated 74 260 and it obviously has a 260 rear section due to the hatch pistons and tail lights as well. I believe that they put the 260 bumpers on the front and the rear as well. The dash has a cover on it as well. I am looking for another shell but if I cant find one reasonably priced I think we may go the roll cage route.

Hey guys. I am the owner of the rustbucket. Thank you for the link. I emailed asking about shipping costs. Cross your fingers for me!
