toolman Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 (edited) A Chinese Metal Fabrication Company is planning to unveil a Brand New complete Early Model 240Z body at the 2025 SEMA SHOW in Las Vegas on Nov 4-7. They are looking for Distributors in North America. Just consider, even if you do not need the whole body assembly, they have to created every sheet metal body stamping of the 240Z. So almost any 240Z, no matter how corroded or damaged could be bought back to life. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOxdQynjijn/?igsh=MWk4N280Nm1zOXI= I will be attending the SEMA SHOW and will post pictures and more information when I return from the show.

calZ Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 There's a shop near me that has been advertising pre-buys for these bodies(and others). I get the impression that they're working with the manufacturer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolman Posted yesterday at 07:10 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 07:10 AM (edited) SEMA SHOW-Complete Early Model 240z and All Aluminum Body Panel 240z This After Show will give you details about the latest news of Early Model 240z Body Panels. The First will a Complete Assembled Sheet Metal 240Z manufactured in China. Jiansu Juncheng Vehicle Industry Company makes Toyota La Madzand Cruiser 40,60 and 70 series,Land Rover 90/110 series, Ford Bronco1966-1977 Nissan 70-74 240Z, Volswagen T1, MadzaRX-3,and ToyotaAE86. Individual Body Parts(Doors, Hood, Fenders, Grilles,etc besides complete Body Assemblies. 240z Engine Compartment Pic 240z Front Wheel Well 240Z Right Inside Door × 240Z Interior Compartment Toyota A86 Interior Compartment These pics taken of their brochures. This is a page from their catalog. It shows the individual 240Z Body parts which are available. My opinion is they should try to sell the body parts that other than what is presently available. Parts like inner body panels, whole floor pans, inner fuel compartment, etc should be sold. Parts that are commonly needed to fix corrosion prone areas. After all, they already made the panel molds. Also, I have another comment about their body parts. Their Firewall does not have a Vehicle identification Number stamped on it. Without a manufacturer identification number, vehicle registration maybe difficult in most states Their Price List shows the Full Assembled 240Z costs $1500 arrived at Port of Los Angeles. Let me tell you my Automotive Background -I was a ASE Certified Automotive Mechanic and also ASE Certified Automotive Collision Repairman and Painter before I give you my opinion about these Chinese Body Parts. I gave this 240Z a good inspection and asked a lot of questions concerning the manufacturing of these parts. Their Sales Team was not very informed about the actual process of manufacturing of the body parts. So I had to go with what I could see and feel for this opinion. The parts seen to fit together ok but without a Frame Measuring Gauge( Tram Gauge I could not determine the Frame Squareness and Length. The biggest problem with these parts is their Corrosion Control Methods were lacking. They should be at least be coated Epoxy Primer before welding the car together. Nissan factory cars are completely immersed in tank of primer. This method insures primer covers even boxed sections of the vehicle. This a pic of the Storage Compartment behind both seats in the car. No Primer-Corrosion already on surface Maybe the Manufacturer was rushing to get the 240z into the Sema Show or maybe this is normal. This company was still looking for someone to distribute their parts in North America so we have wait and see.
