Great job so far

Seems like a mostly original survivor here. Prices for early 240z's have gone up. I'd go with motorman that's a 15k car. Maybe a bit more for a serious investor/collector.

Yeah I'm curious how it's going to work out for you ! Yes Netherlands.. a village near Arnhem, close to the German border. Don't have facebook, I am just here on this international site Yeah I guess it's Tim, don't remember his name, but saw his topic on this forum here to, and remember he came from or near Stuttgart.

Nice find ! If you keep going this way she will be done soon for next summer Another neighbour ! Welcome to the international datsun club.. I believe there was another guy on here from Stuttgart...

Best way is to put it in a container or something with somebody else, who is shipping parts or a car. Air freight is very expensive. One thing I don't understand is that they charge ALOT when shipping from the US > EU, but when I send the same package EU > US, I pay alot less here... I find it strange. Are they over charging us Europeans, to make an extra buck on shipping ?

Looking great ! Love that orange color to.

Yeah. He's working on it haha, but progess is going slow. Last sunday... ( the 240Z is going into a winter sleep mid october/november )

I came across a classic car dealer here, and saw a 240Z I thought I saw earlier on Ebay a year ago with a story of an eldery couple ? http://www.classiccarsvandewouw.nl/index.php/nl/verkoop Previous ebay picture:

Nice pictures ! Some nice 240Z's there..

Koyo has them to, and it's Japanese, but I ordered with a local supplier. You will have to look up the parts number interchange with skf

- Make an anchor point in concrete, and put a heavy grade anti theft chain over the front suspension crossmember to lock it. - 2 Pits on a chain sleeping next to the car - A good theft Insurance

I am just back from a road trip through Germany, Austria and Czech Republic. This year was with the 1970 Mustang, but next year will be 2 weeks and with the 240z ! ( Swiss, Italy, Monaco and Spain for 2017 roadtrip ! ) Gas $$ was really to much with the Mustang hehe, I've burned close to a 1000 euro on fuel.. Here's a few nice pictures We visited the Speyer Museum this time, and again the US car meeting in Sinsheim ( over 700 cars !, next year they will hold it 2 days ! ) I've also visited " the Kehlsteinhaus " which is on the Obersalzberg, which is the late house of the dictator Adolf Hitler. It's almost 2 km up. Very nice views !

Well that sounds fair then. But most 240z's ive seen here that where for sale in the range of 15k, all need a complete resto, and then that price is really to much, even though it's a collectible. But maybe this is what the market demands ? Would you buy a rotten 2000gt for 500k just because the market says so ? Maybe.. if you are a millionaire.. but not with common sense.

Yes Mart, it's crazy they ask 15k euro here for a 240z that needs to be restored. Alot of people think they can ask big bucks just because it's a classic not looking at the state it is in... A while ago I saw a totally rotten 67 Shelby Mustang on Ebay, and the guy wanted 60k or something, totally nuts !

That one is shot, please leave it there, it's rotten all over. It's a good one for parts. But the million dollar question here is what in your opinion is the right one for the right price ?! Good ones ( for restoration ) start between 10/15k these days.

To bad ! That looks like a really nice survivor indeed.

If it's leaking wih the electrical connections, better get a new sender, or replace it with a used one that doesn't leak. Yeah the lock ring is supposed to pass the notches. ( New sender comes with a new o-ring, or else like said above, get an o-ring that is fuel resistant

I think back in the day a production car of 1970 could have used some 69 parts, even a 72 could have used 70 parts laying around in the factory. I see that evidence on many 240z's.. The small features on the cars change slowly over the years they where build, but some later models still used some early parts.

Enjoy it ! You will see there are plenty of things to do, you won't get bored

Great results ! Puts the 240z ever further in the spotlight of classic cars..

I believe the 240z never had a manual antenna ?

Man that sucks ! Lucky that you have just minor injuries ! I know the feeling.. I to just came back from a car wash last year when some idiot parked his van in the front of my z.. doing 10k damage. I sure hope for you that guy in the explorer has some kind of an Insurance...

Second that ! Great work man !

Great ! Live it man ! About the gas tank leak.. when you have the time drop it down, and replace all the hoses, that's the problem.
