Hey all,
I signed up for hints and tips with the other 240z project but a few asked about mine so thought I'd put a thread together.
It's a 1970 Datsun 240z, 4 speed manual, US import from California.
The paintwork is horrendous and it needs the carb re-jetted and set up properly as ran like a dog but it still got me 600 miles from Guildford to Aberdeen with only a few roadside bodges
Plans are not to everyones liking in terms of low and wide but it's what i've bought the car for so it'll be happening!
Immediate Plans
Re-jet carbs and get running perfect
Seats/Harnesses/Cage
Lowered
Wide Ass Wheels
Carbon bolt on arches
Carbon duck tail spoiler
Front AirDam lip
Future Plans
Engine swap - LS1 or 2JZ
Full Respray - Dark gunmetal of some sort
Re-trimmed Interior
Anyway time for photos
A few jobs completed over the last few weeks.
De-bumpered the rear
Bought a new set of wheels ready for when the cars a little lower. You'll see from the photos that it doesn't sit quite right being higher.
Removed all the AC as it wasn't working or even connected! More room now for a new rad and electric fan kit.
Next - Fit the seats and harnesses, get some coilovers made and get the fuel tank welded up
