antimanifesto09 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Here's the deal... guy's selling this 240z and I talked him down to $2000. He said he cut out and replaced the ledge on the back hatch due to rust.... the guy's tack welded some floor pans in as a temporary fix but says he's sanded the rust off and primered over it before tacking in the sheet metal. I've already figured I'd have to replace the floor pans. The interior is sparse, but he says he has all the panels and a new driver's side window. I still need to check the frame rails underneath. I hope to drive as is and making some improvements then doing an engine swap to the 280zxt with the usual upgrades. The sketchy part is it's recently been given a sweet cheap paint job (note the overspray on the radiator). Red Flag? Wanting to just get more money cause it looks decent? Here you go... Deal or No Deal? http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/antimanifesto09/01011001150801030720071101598365b3b.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/antimanifesto09/0101020102030103022007110142145a3fb.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/antimanifesto09/011513010212010306200711013025ebd9e.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/antimanifesto09/01020601030401041120071101ba0bde116.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/antimanifesto09/Picture370.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/antimanifesto09/Picture369.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/antimanifesto09/Picture336.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/antimanifesto09/Picture333.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/antimanifesto09/Picture332.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/antimanifesto09/Picture331.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/antimanifesto09/Picture330.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/antimanifesto09/Picture329.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/antimanifesto09/Picture328.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/antimanifesto09/Picture327.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirk.240 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I think it looks pretty good. Less rusty than my fairlady. They make paint meter to actually read the depth between where you place the meter and the metal underneath. Not sure how much they are but it'd be handy if you could tag one.

joker72z Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 If you live in Cali, keep looking. I've scoured Craigslist and found countless cars for decent money. This would be a car to chop up and make a long long term project. If you want to drive it and work on it at the same time....save your dollars and look for a better candidate. Just my humble opinion but I hate wasting hard earned dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 poke around the floor boards with a screw drive. and ask to see if you can pop off a fender to check for frame straightness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antimanifesto09 Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 When I said drive and work on it at the same time, it's not crucial to do that. I do have another car to get me to work and back. It was just a thought that I'd be nice to drive and work on it on weekends until I undertake the big projects. then again, it's the small projects that tend to turn into big ones, huh? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
