    i wish my 240z was that solid...looks like youre making good progress too. i think ill go with carbon ZG's now. thanks.

    since youre in minnesota, i say 240sx. i would never want an S30 for a DD anywhere but CA or AZ. i would expect the 240sx to be more reliable too. also, not all bmws are expensive. an E30 318 can be had for <$2500, and even higher mileage E36 M3s can be had for <$10000

    240z's made up to 12/71 should have the hatch with vertical defroster lines. my '72 does. if it is indeed a '70 hatch, it should have the hatch vents, which it doesnt seem to have, so id guess its a '71 hatch. source of info: http://zhome.com/History/DesignChanges.htm

    why not a 1975 280z? it should still be smog exempt, no?
  5. rturbo 930
    i thought this one was pretty good
  6. rturbo 930
    do you have any high res pics?
  7. rturbo 930
    agreed, silver.

    i could be way off, but the first person that comes to mind for me is olderthanme. i dont know where he posted it though. sorry i cant be of more help.

    it looks good except the wheels. i dont like chrome wheels on most cars. very clean car though.
  10. rturbo 930
    i think its an improvement. ive never liked the vents between the door glass and side rear windows.

    just my two z's and school. i like relaxing.

    a guy around here with a 30's buick or something had tires like that, and i think he said the front end just goes up when you step on it. of course, he puts a hemi into everything he owns which may have something to do with it...
  13. rturbo 930
    it actually looks pretty solid from what i can see...i guess the rust is hiding.
  14. rturbo 930
    sure did. and i just bought a 240z that only needed floor pans and subframes...NOT! do yourself a favor and get one from CA or AZ thats rust free or close to it.
  15. rturbo 930
    there is a piece seperate from the dash that the steering column and pedals bolt to. you cant really see it in the pics.
  16. rturbo 930
    really? everyone ive met thought my z was cool.

    i use photobucket.com for hosting images. since your frame rail was twisted, was your front end bent as well? if so, did you just bend it back? my 240z has a bent frame rail, so im trying to see what other people did to fix it.
  18. rturbo 930
    ive heard that too. i *think* i heard theres about an inch difference.
  19. rturbo 930
    when we took the engine out of my 280z, we left the transmission on and had no problems taking it out.
  20. rturbo 930
    i cant answer your question, but i would also like to have some sort of bolt guide. i no longer remember what went where.
  21. rturbo 930
    doglegs, drivers side rocket, sheet metal for the floors, rear lower quarters, and a bunch of square tubing for a rotisserie. the z should be pleased.
  22. rturbo 930
    mine did... patch panels from tabco, some sheet metal for new floors and various other things, and some metal to build a rotisserie...and a fire extinguisher so my grandmas barn doesnt burn down in case of a fire.
  23. rturbo 930
    i've spent $800 on my 240z, which was just how much i paid for it, and $2500 on my 280z, again, just how much i paid for it. i can see each of them costing more than $20,000 easily to get them how i want them, though.

    i think this is by far my favorite stock 240z color picture taken from here: http://zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/index.html
