donZo240 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 When i realized my 240z project was too rusty under all the bondo to bother i was bummed out. When my 300zx motor started to sound like a washing machine full of rocks i was ready to give up on life. When my boss told me i needed to get my junk cars out of the shop, I completely lost my mind and offered him $2000 for "everything i need to make it move" out of the various salt water flooded mustangs in the shop. We restored flooded cars and shipped them over seas btw. Note the giant pile of wires! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donZo240 Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) I sat in the shop after work on a friday drinking a few beers and attempting to talk sense into myself. Itll never fit! I couldnt seem to figure out the steering clearance and whatnot and the frame rails where a bit narrow so i said eff it and cut the rails from a mustang and slapped them in. The hunk of Mustang I used I have no idea if this car is safe... Jk in pretty sure its more solid then a hell if a lot of rusty cars ive had inspected in PA Probably not straight... Fill it up! The steering and subframe and whatnot all got pushed wayyy more forward and I thought so i decided to slap my worthless 240z front on it! Hmmm might as well go all out with the self tappers eh?

donZo240 Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Keep in mind this was a month project or so... Time to learn some actual body work stuff. Edited October 30, 2017 by donZo240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverdone Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 You definitely have the only one of those in the world. How much wider is your front track width then the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donZo240 Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 About 4in. The different wheels in the one pick made it look like a whole foot. Next step is z32 rear everything which will even it right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Better off with a S14 rear if the track suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

260DET Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 S14 has much better geometry than either the S13 or Z32. But I race so that's where I'm coming from, for cruising it would not matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
