WOW the trims look really good ! Can you give an idea on how much it cost you. Happy for you to PM me if thats better. Your build is looking fantastic, great job mate.

Hi Adzmax this is the same car, sorry my first post was a bit of a 'feeler', trying to see what the car in that state would be worth. The car still needs some body work, but as part of the deal I will take delivery of a complete 240k which has had all the rust removed and just requiring finishing and some paint. I've seen the guys work and his fabrication skills are amazing, im really looking forward to seeing the car evolve. The car is in Adelaide (just south of the city) today when i checked the glove box i found the original purchase reciept and service books.. stoked !

Hi Guys, i decided on getting the car today. The fella who i'm buying it off does restorations and is a star when it comes to metal fabrication. He'll be finishing off the body for me as part of the deal so it will be ready for paint when he's done. At this stage the car should be ready for me to pickup in about 4 - 6 months. I'll take some pics when the car is out in the open, i'm very happy with my purchase and the timeframe.. Gives me a chance to collect some parts that i'll be needing for completion. Cheers for all your input..

No flares haven't been fitted yet. I know the work involved in fitting them to the 240z.. I assumed it would be similar? I've got a bit to think about.. There is no doubt this will sit in the shed until the z is finished.. Which I'm hoping by the end of the year .. (but I said that last year too !)

Yeah this is the smart decision.. I'm just not sure if I can let it go. I fear if I miss this one then another one may not come up for some time .

Hi, thanks guys! Very helpful. I should be able to get a pedal box etc no probs. I'm pretty keen to get it.. So the pics I post up are likely to be of it being loaded onto a trailer.. It's not an ideal time for me as I've got a 240z project car right now too. I'll be pretty happy to have the pair.. My 2 most favorite cars! Thanks again fellas !

Ok cool i'll get some pics next time i'm looking at it. Interior is complete.. but has been sitting around for about 5 years.. the dash pad is cracked. Seats could benefit from a retrim and some new carpets.. All the chrome trim is straight.. but just needing some polish. Bars are straight, rear garninsh and front grill are in good nick. I want to convert it to manual.. i've got a good 5 speed box in my shed from an L28.. so would just need the pedal box.. cylinders etc... Will the centre console be structurally different? will i need to source a manual centre console for the conversion?

Hi Guys, I’m new to the forum.. I’ve been browsing through the 240k content and there is some good stuff Looking for some advice / opinions on 240k Coupes.. I’m a Datsun fanatic and I’ve wanted one for a long time now… and I’ve found one.. Just not sure how much money is too much.. It will be around the 7k mark.. and has had all the rust cut out and replaced with new steel. Body is almost perfectly straight… will just require some final finishing on the body and then some paint. Its got the standard 2.4ltr engine with matching numbers & an auto trans.. apparently running but surely needing an overhaul. Interior is all there.. trims are good, seats need retrimming, dash pad cracked. My plan is to make it look like a GTR.. with the guards, grill, mirrors, wantanabe’s, triple webers etc… Is it too much for a car that still needs this much work?

Car looks sweet !. I'm on the hunt for a 240k (preferebly 2 door) Hope to find something as nice as yours!
