Z Kid

Isn't the X-type built on a Taurus floorpan, or frame or whatever its called?

Asessing all options, don't suppose you have a full front on shot?

Either way, the guy with the porsche is still a whole heap better off than this bloke. Ahh Only in America, and maybe a few other small lesser developed coutries.

That equates to about 4000 dollars US for a supposedly fully restored Z and a rare one at that.

No association with this car, but thought it may interest some people: DATSUN 240Z 1969, No. 00068, NIS240 plate, restored, original blue, triple Webbers, roadworthy certificate, lowered, CD player, Koni suspension, ONO -$8000 Petrie Terrace (0422) 233 780

I'll see how the whole melbourne idea turns out as my brother has to go over there in early january, and take a boat, so there should be space for a door on the way back.

Try Ashley Maclurkin" <zr240@hotmail.com> i think he has the moulds to make them and they are resonably priced

It only took them a bit over a month to get back to me.

http://www.allzparts.com.au/special.htm they are selling them on special for 240z, 260x, 280z Headlight covers $125 Not sure if its cheap or not, but they are in australia so it may be of some help

Hello, here's the problem I need a 240 Door (Passenger side), and in must be cheapish/reasonably priced, I'm more than willing, to get one with rust along the bottom etc, as i can fix it, but not a total write off. If its cheap enough, freight wouldn't be a problem, but on a student's budget, everything's diffiult.

You mean a Zed that's spent its whole life surrounded on four sides by salty water? I think not, it'd have more rust than mine

I too was told that all Aussie spec 260's 2+2 came out with an R200 rear diff, but i'm still not sure what the hell is lying on my shed floor taking up space.

Been there, seen it and done it and have a shabby car as a result, by all means do the prep work, but for christs sake get someone to put on the top coat. Its not as easy as it looks, and two pac has isocyinates in it (bad).

Its pretty impossible to determine the cost of a decent paint job, but somewhere about 5-7 thousand seems about right for a good 2-pac paint with minor bodywork etc thrown in. However you can buy the 260, but who is to say what's underneath the paint, other than the guy who is trying to offload it. When it comes to shifty paint jobs, its not that hard to cover up rust etc with bog, newspaper etc etc. THe list of potential bodges is amazing, and unless the guy will guarentee the quality, or you can "fix" him at a later date if he was lying, it may be best to steer away from a fresh repeaint. 2000 for a 260 shell seems a bit over the top to me, but i may be wrong.
