MY 1ST project! 74 datsun 260z


Recommended Posts

For 2 years straight, 240sx's have been whizzing through my head. back in February, i realized that there were other Nissan 2 door, rwd, inline engined cars out there....a MANS car.. The Datsun Z:icon2:

 

ive caught that Z bug ever since.

 

and now i bring you my new project.

 

1974 Datsun 260Z

white.. was silver

 

the pro's:

700 dollars.

no rust.

all parts there besides starter...and battery

280z SU types

original wheels!

hood opens, hatch shocks hold pressure.

240Z rally lip.

suspension is solid

frame great.

pinch welds are not mashed in

4 speed

its a Z for gods sake:mrgreen:

 

the cons:

not ready to start..

no seats...

parts are there but not attached..

 

people ask me.... why did i buy a car that doesnt run...i tell them its a Z. thats why.:icon15:

 

what i plan to do...

get her running, STOCK. to drive A to B. then ka-t or l28et. my turboed buget is going to be 3-4 grand...later down the road of cource.
