TABrinn Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Yesterday me and a buddy went up to San Antonio and trailered back my new car. It's a '71 240Z and from what I can see is perfectly straight and rust free. Most of the major parts are all there but being a project car and having little parts in a half dozen boxes, things are easily overlooked. Along with the car I also got a set of tripple sidedraft webers, 5 slotted mag wheels, and a MSA body kit with a wing. The way I see it, the parts alone tally up to over the $2K sale price and the car was basically free! Pics are comming soon (gotta get a camera first). I dropped it off straight away at the paint shop. Tomarrow the body man and myself are giving it a thorough sorting through to see what's missing and what needs work/ replaced. I live close to the beach so getting a good coat of paint is top priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJLamberson Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 sounds like a great deal, and you sure do jump right into things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TABrinn Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 The body kit that came with the car is the MSA Type 2 with a California Style rear wing. I'm not really feeling the Type 2 kit and the Cali wing is not me either. If anyone is interested in the kit, wing, or a pair of headlight covers, make me an offer. I'll also post them in the "For Sale" section as well. Does any one have any pics of the MSA Type 1 kit? It uses the stock bumpers right? On the website they only show a front quarter view.

TABrinn Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 I just wanted to give a little update on my progress. The new paint job is nearly ready! It's going to be Nissan Storm Grey (paint code K-27) with white racing stripes down the center. Its the same dark grey as the new Altimas and Frontier pickup. I also got a urethane air dam and BRE spoiler that are getting matching paint and all new gaskets and weather stripping throughout. The bumpers are STILL out getting re-chromed, and I'm hunting for a place to re-chrome my taillights. Untill I get some pics up of the new paint here are some "before" shots for you. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk246/TABrinn/img009.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk246/TABrinn/img010.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TABrinn Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 I've been procrastinating like crazy with the updated pics but here are a few. The weather sucked so the lighting wasn't the best but I still think you can get an idea of how kick ass the paint scheme turned out. Got my mags polished up and bolted on too! Still waiting on some 3 wing knock off center caps though. Let me know what you guys think. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk246/TABrinn/img026.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk246/TABrinn/img025.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk246/TABrinn/img024.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
