Thanks for all of the replies guys. Yeh, I completely agree with everything everyone has said. I know $1500 is an extremely small budget but its all I have to start with at this point. I really want this car to be nice, even if that means investing more money later down the road, which is a given. I've rethought about the whole project and plan on stretching it out. I don't really want to drive this thing until it is almost complete. But $1500 will get me started on the right track. And I have actually thought about using the car for parts and have been looking for another one in better shape. But, just gonna play it by ear for now. Thanks again.

Thanks 1970datsun.

Just like the title says. I bought a Datsun 240z for $160 bucks. Car is in decent shape I guess. Complete, would be a better term. I'm also new here. You guys seem very knowlegable, so here I am, ready to absorb some of it. I will post pics also but haven't taken any yet. When I bought the car the engine bay is complete, nothing has been removed there, but the transmission has been removed and was in the trunk. The guy I bought it from bought it like that and don't know why it was ever removed so hopefully just needs a clutch kit. hummm, some body damage, large rust holes in floor boards, cracked windshield, etc. I know it is very salvageable. I love the body style on this little car. I really wanna do the L28et swap but can't afford to this year. My main focus will be get the existing engine running well, body work, paint and interior. I would also like to a few body kit pieces later, eg. ducktail and front valence maybe even the fender flare kit. If any of you experienced z guys could point me in the right direction for parts that would be a start. I have about $1500 to invest, I should be able to have a nice looking and running stocker for that. Starting project soon. Also, I'm will be trying to invest in some decent looking wheels, what is the largest size i can use without rubbing. I found some sharp 16x7's on ebay only $325 for the set. Long post, I know, sorry, just getting it all out. Thanks in advance. Excited to get this baby started.
