Hey everyone, I have finally decided to join this forum. I'm currently restoring my 72 240z and will create a thread soon detailing my build. I bought my 240z late June in 2017 in South Carolina and started an extensive restoration. Like most people, I thought it was a much easier task and had no idea the amount of work and time needed. Having said that, I absolutely do not regret that decision and can't wait to finish it. I believe this forum will help me answer all my questions and concerns.

I would like to give a big thank you to grannyknot as he has been a crucial figure helping me through out this build and I'm fortunate to live close to him ?

Welcome to the site!  Sounds like you have a great project and would love to see your build process.  Take lots of photos because you'll look back and remember the 'dirty days' when you're driving around in your restored beauty.  Most of us have been there...  ?

Welcome aboard, Electrolabs!  Enjoy your 240Z resto project. ?

@Electrolabs, Alex, is that you?  Just trying to save you from making all the mistakes that I have made.

Where in South Carolina did you buy it?

Yes,  It's Alex! I know and I really appreciate it! the Z is getting high build primer tomorrow and should be painted late next week.

Greenville, but I believe the car was originally from Virginia.

I don't live far from there. Post up some pictures of what you started with

This is how the car was when the previous owner purchased it in 2013 I believe. I was told it sat under a carport from 1991 to 2013, in fact the proof of insurance slip I found in the glove compartment confirmed it was last insured in 1991.

I'll post more pictures tomorrow of how it looked when it was purchased back in June 2017.

That looks like a solid base to start with
