Well i'm off on a 2 week vacation. See ya guys soon. Can't wait to start working on the Datsun.

I do not want to keep my originial dampers and springs. So i want te car to be low on the ground. I have some questions, as i am still new to Datsun. What is the original spring height front and rear? How low can i go while stil using 15 inch rims with not that fat tires, say 215/50/15 I want the front to be lower on the ground than the rear but just a bit.

I got lot's of critique to, but who cares.. i don't see them doeing such a project.

New update will be soon, today i worked on the battery tray part. Made it a bit my own style so that a 74 amp battery will fit. And... i got a automotive repair manual from haynes for 240,260 and 280z models. Many thanks to the tip on this forum that lead me to this manual.

Naah.. they don't liked the project at all. The had something about the floor boards, the the beem "under" the boards isn't supporting the structure enough. And that you have to make patterns in the floor boards to make them stronger. There just jealous i think. But don't care about that Mull. Tjek out my project 240z if you like.

It's not my style that fenders..they are to big! I love the rims but make the fenders around it a bit smaller. I think it messes up the cars detail. But nice work again Mull! I showed some of your project pictures from welding on my dutch vauxhall forum. People wheren't satisfied about your welds? I think they are nuts or something. But I and many here know your doing a great job. I love to see the finished product, can't wait to finish mine! I'm going for 15 inch american racing vector rims, with a not to fat tire.

What is the original rim size 15 inch?

Welcome here Patrick.

Nice work.

Thank you. It's a lot of work to be done..

Here are some pics of the passenger floorside that ( reconstructed ) and the other still rotted one on driver side. And some other picture. The hatchplated was made a mess by the previous owner. He just welded some new plate over old rust holes. That's not the way..so that has to go off al the way.

Hehe..good choice!

Is my car imported form Arizona you think? The owner from which i bought the car lived in the states and was not there in the Netherlands.

Welcome here, Great choise for getting a 240Z ! You will have fun with it. Gr, Bart.

Holy $^!#, i had to cut away the entire corner passengerside including battery part and piece of engine bay underside it was al rotten. That's alot of sheet metal work dammit.

Bright colors okay, then i will stick to pp1 red i think

Black and chrome is also a killer combination, always loved that color.

I know what you mean, but i don't want to see old metal back again hehe. It all has to go out. But it's a good way to do it.. remember the a-team ?

Charger my second dream car, only the 68 model :rambo:

Hey thank you very much for the information! About the car above, i don't know where it's from found it on google.

Okay i will look. Thanks, Tom

New update will be soon, the new floor on passenger side is already in! Will be working on the other side this weekend.

Can somebody sent me pictures of the underside please? I need to know how it was connected etc

No worry, i started the same way! :paranoid:

No i'm from the netherlands!
