Hey,

 

I've got a 73 240z with a 2000 LS1 and T56. I've had this car since 2004 and I've just stopped working on it. At one time it ran and drove but it needs a bit of TLC to finish/put back on the road.

 

Mods/Features:

• No EGR Valve.
• ECM edit to remove VATS and after CAT O2.
• 3"x2" 14Ga tubing from front sub-frame to rear sub-frame. 
• Q45 3.54 Viscous LSD
• Machined aluminum mustache bar bought from someone on hybridz.
• Fancy heat treated/cryo'd half shafts bought from someone on Hybridz some number of years ago.
• Q45 CV joints on half shafts.
• POR 15'd Fuel Tank
• JTR narrowed radiator.
• New Willwood Clutch master cylinder.
• New adjustable brake proportioning valve. Last time I took it for a test drive around the neighborhood I clipped a brake line. Someone who owned the car before me had gutted the proportional valve so I lost all brakes. That was excited. There is a little brake line work left to be done. All the work I did was with the Cunifer brake line. Enough line to finish included.
• 4-wheel disc brakes
• Dual exhaust. Crush bent but pretty darn good.
• i put the car on a rotisserie and undercoated it.
• Sandblasted down to bare metal. The rear wheel fenders have been replaced before I bought the car. I tried painted base/clear. I did something not right because the clear is coming off. There is a touch of rust in about two places. I included a picture of the worst spot.
• Professionally redone front bumper. It's a work of art.
• Deleted rear bumper.
• New tach and speedo

 

Overall the car is in great condition. Needs some work but I've got a baby on the way and I've not really touched the car in a few years. I calculated some number years ago that I have about $15-20k in materials in the car. I need someone who wants to finish it to take it. I'd like $8k for it but I'll negotiate.
