question, could i keep my front discs that are on my 240z and just swap the drums for these ones, im a newb

Pictures, 40 of them Okay so I am planning on doing a v8 swap, but that is aside from the point, I picked this car up for 900 dollars Canadian, Most of the interior is Mint. Alot of the parts are in excellent condition. Nothing is really staying stock except for the shell, aside from flaring the rear and front again. So here's the plan, I want to keep this car, most of the frame and body is in pretty decent condition, but there is some rust which concerns me. The floor boards are gone, but rust has not spread to the drive tunnel. There is a little bit of rust in the engine bay on the frame, but not that much, as you can see in the pics. There is no rust anywhere else other than what is circled in the pictures I took. So my question is, should I keep this car, or scrap it and pick up something with even less rust. My budget is 25000. Here are a few things I'm planning to do.. Rebuilt Lt1 out of a vette, t56 tranny, r200 and or r230 lsd rear end, 9/10 point cage. I'm not really worried about anything show things, stereo etc. Although, a nice paint job is in order . I'll buy all other things accordingly to what I need, I've looked into this quite abit and am pretty sure of everything I want to do, aside from picking exhaust, rims, tires etc etc.. There is a layer of bondo over the roof, I pretty much want to revert the body back to stock, then get bolt on fender flares, front lip, I'll pick suspension and all accordingly.. anyways.. how much does one think a lot of good body work would cost, along with removing any and all rust in the car, seeing as I have no experience with body work, and although I do have a 230amp arc welder and some welding training, I'd rather it be perfect. I want all the bondo cut out.. and the body mint.. clean cut and ready for paint. Everything else I will be doing myself. Everything should be straightened out.. bleh. The guy who owned this car before me kinda butchered the body, and the Maaco paintjob makes me ill to my stomache. Like some of the door hinges are binding, and all things need to be straigtened out. Thankyou in advance for any help, I hope this is the right forum to post this thread.

1972 240z with a 280z engine, just did an oil change, alot of the wiring isnt hooked up, but when i start the car, it idles great, runs just as good so far, but it spits out some damn thick exhaust, there is no cat on this car ;p, but even for a car with no cat, but there is even to much exhaust for no cat, any ideas on how to tune it so it doesnt do this, or as bad? thanks, james

Bought it a few days ago for 900 canadian, almost no rust, some body work needed but its worth it, it runs, and runs great.. just got it on the street today, boy is it fun, only took it up and down the street as no brake lights car1 car2
