thanks for the kind words I get to see the car this weekend and really figure out what I have got myself into it is going to e a lengthy project and most likely an expensive one but I love it as much as anyone. I just hope the chassis is not too far gone.

thanks! already been reading so much and have gathered alot of useful information for my restoration

Hello, I am new to the forum and new to the Z community. I recently purchased a 1971 240z with an L24 and 4 speed manual, however the car is in poor condition as it has been sitting for years in a tarped off tent and never properly maintained and neglected. The moisture and heat of being in a closed off tent has wrecked thin metal and there is some holes in the floor from what I could see but the frame rails etc are still intact just need a good media blast/sandblast. So I am getting the car for a bargain and I am going to take it on as a project/restoration of sorts. Being as young as I am it may not be as nice as some of the members cars or as period correct but I am going to do the best I can with what I have and the funds I can muster. from what I have been told the L24 was a great engine and ran before the previous owner stored it so I am going to try and get it running once again, he has also supplied me with a bunch of spare parts including a spare head some body parts and the rest of the interior that is missing like the carpet and door panels. Here are some pictures of what it looks like right now the body is in decent shape just alittle dirty from sitting (ipod camera sorry) The fenders and rear quarters have been changed for fibreglass replacements and a paint job was done some years ago. any advice is welcome http://imageshack.us/a/img577/3496/img0659dq.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img528/1526/img0651k.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img854/4217/img0653uk.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img823/4879/img0667nwc.jpg
