Hello,
I'm Bart, 20 years old and i'm from the Netherlands.
My occupation is a car mechanic and bikes also.
I did alot whit cars at home, and was specialised in Vauxhall/Opel Nova/Corsa engine swaps and so on, i still do that today...
I didn't know anything about Datsun or it's Z cars.. I saw a picture from my dad who told me he had a 240z in his early years. I thought wow, what a design! That brought me in to this cars... and the love for Datsun.
After looking on the internet on further details of the models from Datsun... i knew for sure.. i wanted one!!
So i looked good on the internet and found one not so far from home.. They are very hard and rare to find here. Most of em are in the states. I went to it and had a look at it.. It was al rusty floors were down, wheelbracket in the rear., and holes everywhere.. thats part because of the climate here...
He still asked a 1000 euros for it , it's alot but there where only like 5 or so here in the country that i found. So i took it home. And know i'm starting the long way of restauration.
I'm taking it slow, everything must be perfect. The engine isn't original it's a 2.8 non turbo. I think from the 280Z ? :surprised
See my project page for foto's of the 1971? 240z i don't know for sure..maybe you guys know?
I hope someone can help me on a book of the car and where all the parts are located?
Gr, Bart.
