randylwjr Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Right now I am in the process of tearing my 72 240Z down to the chassis. Overall the body is in good condition, all things considering. There is a small hole in the floor and normal rear wheel well rust, nothing too bad. I'm going to fix these issues then rebuild the car. This is how I am planning on rebuilding it, any input is always welcome. The car came with a 5 speed, which I have heard is rare in the States, I don't know if thats true. What I'm going to do L28ET Restore the fuel tank Racing seats G-nose body kit (I seen this and I know I will not be happy with anything else) Replace the rotors Rebuild the calipers Replace the pads Replace the rear brake drums and possibly shoes and cylinders (I have to check them out) Megasquirt 3 Replace the brake lines with SS Replace the fuel lines Classic style mirrors New interior fabric (carpet, vinyl, and padding) All new weather stripping Rear main seal Engine rebuild kit for the winter I am planning on using an external fuel pump New bolts, nuts, screws, and washers All new hoses I believe I'm going to use Megaspark but I must read up on it more I have priced this all out and it is roughly $6500 and double it for other stuff and misc. That puts me right around 13000, my goal is to build it for under $15000. Does anyone have any good suggestions for an aftermarket radiator? Should I do anything to the suspension? I don't plan on putting the heater core back in, I will only drive it in the sun during warm months. Any other ideas as to what else I can delete?
