I'm not to crazy about the lime green either. In person it looks good, but It isn't my type of color.
-
Yes sir. It's cracked along with a crack harmonic balancer. I needed more room to work.

Removed Intercooler Piping
Removed Radiator

Well here it is, my first build thread on this site.
I am looking forward to see what comes out of it. Coming from a 350z, building a 240z is totally different. This is my first time working on a turbo car!
I wanted to find a nice platform I can build upon.

Yes I think you did. Thanks!

I am looking for a battery tray that has minimal rust. Surface rust is okay. I just bought a 240z and the original owner cut the original tray. I'd like to find an OEM one or an after market one to bolt it right in.
-
I am also interested!
-
I wish it was the original. It's a 73. It's dodge sublime green. But I plan to paint a different color eventually.
-
Well I decided to pick up this car. It has pass threads on it build.
The current owner fixed all the kinks and it is running a rebuilt L28ET with IC, Wideband, and t3/t4 Turbo, and megasquirt. All it needs hopefully is a full tune for base timing and then a dyno tune.

375118_4794545305284_287224186_n[1] by rodknee_ty2003, on FlickrIt's a great starter car because it has everything under the hood I wanted anyway and body is pretty solid. Excited to start the project, coming from a 350z classics are new to me!
-
Great advice, I understand that there are always underlying costs especially something this old. I will keep this in mind! But I think I will be ready to put some money into it if I have too. Like everyone just starting, I don't want to buy a car that is dying from rust cancer. I am definitely reading every thread about rust right now!
-
Great, that makes sense, If I decide to purchase I will make sure to bring my jack!
-
Great I will take a look further into it. Thanks for the advice. As the for battery tray it looks good to me. Hatch has very minor bubbling in paint. Also how do you pull the Oem carpet so I can check the driver side and passenger side underbody rust. I couldn't see it from under the body. Frame rails also look good.

I am a 350z owner looking for an older project car.
I came about a 1978 280Z locally and this one caught my eye.
The Z has 150,000 miles, and everything is original. It has been garaged from day one. Interior is decent, dashed is cracked and the carpet is okay might need changing. Test drove the car and seemed to run pretty strong.
I couldn't see any rust anywhere except surface rust on the fender. There is one big dent on the door but nothing PDR can't fix. I talked this guy down to 3500. Is this a good price for a car in this condition.
Any expert advice would be great!

I am looking for a 240z or 280z with L28ET running, in great condition. Also must have very little to no rust. I am looking to find a starter car, that I can focus on with exterior more than building the engine. I am looking to spend around 5000-6000. Located in Los Angeles!

I am looking for bumpers in decent shape both front in rear. More than likely they will be refinished, nothing with excessive rust or dents
