External Restoring of a 73 240Z

uaedude · November 17th, 2009, 03:56 AM

I bought my 240Z from Phlebmaster last week, and i decided to restore it's outside to the stock silver, that is for now.

Sadly a neighbor decided that the 240Z needed a screw in the wheel and put it there for me this morning !

Progress....

How ever i was thinking of rhino lining the bottom have of the car with black rhino line and not painting over it (keeping that part black) what do you guys think ? and i was thinking of the 09 911 dark charcoal color isntead of the light silver !

I think either of the colors you mentioned would look great. What are your plans for it otherwise?

BRAAP · November 17th, 2009, 01:05 PM

Oh yeah! Glad to see the car is still here on this forum...

so far it's going for stock silver, and then an RB26DETT.

You always say that........ just because you peed on the dip stick.

It has sort of had a special funk ever since.

Yeah...that motor rocks! So be sure to let Skib know and I will help him haul it away with my truck.

Rusted dent in drivers door !

And there was a bad dented rust spot on the passanger side and assuming driver side ! the painter decided to jack up the price by $450 to work on those spots !!!! this is after we already agreed to a price.

Great pic! Actually it shows the first two cars I ever owned. Z first and then replaced with the rx7 (bad move

)

uaedude · November 23rd, 2009, 03:19 AM

Thanks norstar, here's the update on the 240Z.

I welded a piece of metal over the antana hole, then grinded and covered it.

I was offered a 2005 350z rear end for free about an hour ago. Do anyone know if will bolt on with little to no mods ?

No it will not bolt up at all. Not even close.

as far as bolt in goes you can use R180's (whats in there now, also in S12 200sx's with 4:11 gears) and R200's (280z, 280zx, certain Z31 for the vlsd) just need the 280z mustache bar for the R200 swap.

uaedude · November 23rd, 2009, 10:34 PM

Thanks.

I'll take it anyway just incase i'll use it for something else. So i am going to fish around for a z31 VLSD ;-D

i'll post more pics tomorrow.
