MPD47

Some new pics from today, unloaded it from the trailer, started looking at things to see what's there, what's rusty, and what not. So I climbed under the car while pulling it off the trailer and to my pleasant surprise the frame rails are in good shape, not rusted at all just a couple dents from improper jackstand placement. The floors seem to be almost entirely intact from below might just be a bit "soft" gonna see when I pull the carpet out. Strut towers (front and rear are perfect, rockers are perfect from the side and below. Overall an incredible buy, I'm EXTREMELY happy. Can't wait to start working on it, will probably pull the spare parts out of the interior and start pulling seats/carpet today or tomorrow.

Like October last year.... lol..... I cant believe it hasnt snowed anything substantial yet. I remember a good few feet of snow by Halloween most years when I was a small child. Might be a bit of an exaggeration though

The F1 is the only car ever to drive away (normall) from a 45mph full frontal crash test. They literally drove it out of there.

Yasin, I dont remember but I dont take nearly anything personal online. Probably just a difference of opinion Cant wait to work on it tomorrow.

Yep, same one as from ebay, I guess he forgot to end the auction, it was also listed locally.

Yep, I'm on bimmerforums and rennlist among way to many other time wasting forums,

I need to stop spending money. I've only posted on here a few times (twice?) But have been actively reading the forums for years. The 240z and Austin Healey 3000 are what originally got me interested in cars and I've considered one for a long time. Formerly a california car, sold to a man in Hamburg. Spent 4 months in Hamburg driven by a young girl (guy's daughter) who blew the transmission out. It was then sold to the PO who bought it with the intention of making a pro street drag car. It sat in his yard and he never worked on it though for the past 7 years. It was put away running so I'm gonna see if I can get the stock engine running to atleast tool around with it until I can put the swap together I want to do. I'm HOPING to do Paint/Interior/Suspension this winter and drive it on the stock engine with a new trans in the spring. We'll see. Overall the chassis is very clean, front frame rails are solid, inner fender wells and 1/4 panels and rockers are solid. Roof has a bit of surface rust, it needs a hatch, and like all 240's the floorboards under the pedals appear to be trash (thankfully they make weld in replacements that are of thicker steel). Anyway, yeah, I finally have gone down the Japanese car path, I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, just didnt really expect it now. I blame driving/drifting doffitt's 350z all year, and then going out with the S1DC guys and Bing at Dunnville. More pics tomorrow and this weekend.

Hey, this guy's site was posted on Rennlist (A Porsche forum i read). Thought you guys would appreciate it. http://www.linkclub.or.jp/~ak-model/archives/gdist5th/diary/dry_zcar.htm

In my lowly Mazda 626 i pulled 120mph chacing two Vipers on the local highway. I stayed with them for about 2 miles until they saw me and downshifted. That was the end of that.
