DiscoPotatoe Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Well i finnally managed to buy my first Z car it was a 74 260z with a few things done to it. First things i plan on doing with it... Striping the g-nose off and selling it. Karmotion carbon fiber hatch... replacing the rusted out hatch caused by the whale tail... definitely not my taste. looks like a big spoon. Empty fuel since car has been sitting for 6 months ran like a champ but can tell the oil and gas is bad. so im going to work on that to fix that up a bit. plan on selling the engine set. minus tranny Strip the car bare and sandblast and paint since floors are rust free and everything else on the car is bassically rust free minus where a few rock chips hit the car and caused the paint to bubble it looks pretty good. Picked this bad boy up for 600 bucks tomorow i am going to buy the parts car/ drift car. heres the pictures i have when i picked it up. ill have more tomorow before i start the tear down right now i threw some bug bombs in it because i saw 2 spiders in the car and i can work with worms and roaches before i can work with spiders... so they have to be dead car really has minimal rust with 82k original miles... bought it from a car collector had all kinds of old planes tons of cars and an amazing house leme know what you guys think so far im going to be selling alot of what this car has possibly even seats and more as i go threw it i want this car to be pretty empty want to completly modernize the interior and build a custom center console mabe dash but i kind of like the layout of the dash so i might just look into getting a CF peice made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoPotatoe Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 This is what i started out with yesterday morning I stared the break down and this is what i started discovering passenger side ended up just grinding it down and primering to try and give myself time to think about what i want to do with these area's Next im going to inventory the 280z to see which one id rather tackle first as the daily driver...

DiscoPotatoe Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Well ive decided to work on the 260z and get it driving within a month with temporary patch panels. I was hoping i wasn't going to get a car this bad but now to test my skills i guess i have one bad and one HORRIBLE. But hey everyone has to start somewhere right? Ill be trying to pick up a 240sx some time within 3 months or so when i manage to find a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
