Darren, they are dent and corrosion free fella

They are on ebay at the moment.

Darren are you sure that's the highest the crane goes?

Looks remarkably similar to mine

Also selling my chrome bumpers and overriders, wondering if you want first dibs on the overriders?

They look great, ..especially like the duck tail spoiler.

 

Are you going to put the black rear window louvers on again?

 

Not to everyone's tastes but I do like the look of those rear window louvers.

I'm going to run without for now and see how I like it. Then put it back on and make a decision

Well the Carbon parts arrived from California. Purchased on Monday arrived by Friday, fantastic service! Super happy with the parts and the look of the car. Now for low and wide

Parts Fitted

Carbon Duck Tail Spoiler

Carbon Front Bumper

Carbon Rear Bumper

Parts Still To Be Fitted

Carbon Bolt On Arches

Is your front bumper in good condition? free from dents? I might be interested if the price is right, although I am contemplating going for the euro spec bumpers, boot lip & front valence with mine

Yeah it's in great nick, I'll get you a photo. As for price I've no idea what it's worth. (Got the rear bumper as well)

Are you going to fill/smooth over where the nasty rear bumper used to mount?

 

 

Look's great and can't wait to see it develop further.

I've got carbon bumpers coming to replace the chrome ones

Well the Datsun got a full wet sand detail and came out STUNNING!

Dodgy US respray came out really well! It's no where near flawless but moves the respray down the list of jobs to do.

Great project fella, will follow with great interest.

 

Great seats too .

 

Just don't put parking sensors on it !!!

Not guilty, the only modification the supra had when I got it!

Looking forward to seeing this develop. I'm sure others are too

 

Did I see you post on another thread that your in Aberdeen? Don't think iv seen any in Scotland especially a modded one

 

What wheels you thinking of?

Yeah Aberdeen fella and wheel choice at the moment will be wide ass Watanabes

And as you've guessed my supra is my other toy!

Stock 6speed manual 2jz running bpu so around 400bhp. Owned it for the last 6 years and give it absolute death.

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

Clarkie (White Zed) sent me to this very thread to sign up. I've just bought a 240z and undertaking a very similar project!

 

I'll be watching with interest!
