make a Ferrari

[Z-point]

This is a chance to make a Ferrari out of your Datsun. It will take a little bit time :stupid: but then you have a kit car and belong to none of the named branches.

Can't quite tell, are you taking the micky at these kits or are you in awe?

[Z-point]

This price isn’t expensive. Normally these kits cost around $3000!!!!

Have a look at…..

Stable Autoworks: http://www.zcarkits.com/

Thunder Ranch: http://www.thunderranch.com/gto.html

Reaction Research: http://www.reactionresearch.com/automotive.html

I’m not involved with this auction, neither have one. I like the car, that’s all.

Ivan, hopefully this an answer to replay?

:sleepy: This had me all set. I was ready to just go with the buy now. Then I saw this :mad: "Will arrange for local pickup only (no shipping)." :sleepy:

I have been looking for one of these body kits @ a good price for along time. I have always wanted to play around with one on a 260 or maybe my parts 240. I dont think I could take a good Z and do it but there are more then enough so so Zeds out there for one of these.

Jeff,

If you are really interested there is always a way to pick this up. I live about 3hours drive from this place. If you pay me the gasoline I’ll pick it up.

Then we have to find a company who can ship this to the states. Probably the best, stored in a container. I live aslo nearby the shipsport Rotterdam..

It’s up to you!!

Z-point you have a PM :beard:

There was a reason that I chose a Datsun, IT"S METAL.

If I wanted a Corvette (or a Ferarri), I would have purchased one.

The problem of repair and/or trapped moisture eating the car from underneith could be a problem as well.

This kit is an insult to both a Ferarri and a Datsun, IMHO.

[lordbiotree]

I COMPLETELY AGREE 100%

Cant stand kits.

Nothing wrong with setteling with second best every once and a while.

There is only 39 real ones, one went for $14M USD to a Japanese businessman once. I believe they hold the worlds most expensive car title.

I like those kits and support anyone who does them.

Z-point:

as you can see there is a fine line between z owners who like or dislike these kits that's why I was unsure with you original post.

Here is a guy who has done a good job on his kit:

I dunno. It just seems like an "art car" that they have in parades. The cars where things are glued to the outside to make it look better or make a statement . Or more precisely like the 1980's glue-on hood scoops that every one knew were fake but the High School kids loved 'em.

Speaking as one who's done a full kit car (Bradley) in the past, the pictures always end up way better looking than what the car actually is to drive or maintain. Just a reality check.

This body kit looks like it's been busted up pretty good. Serious repair is gonna be needed on that left fender before it gets installed.

HMMMM

I have always wanted to play around with one on a 260 or maybe my parts 240. I dont think I could take a good Z and do it but there are more then enough so so Zeds out there for one of these.

I would NEVER take a GOOD RUST FREE 240Z and cut it up for this. Maybe thats why I said my parts car ?

The (kit) part of what I want has NOTHING to do with wanting a Ferrari or a wanabe Ferrari. There is no reason why someone must go with what the kit was made as. Why think inside the box? THINK OUTSIDE the box!!!! The parts that come with that dont all need to be used. Think about the one of a kind wide body kit that rear clip is the start of. Now take and use the wide body Porsche style front fender flare with the stock Z hood & front. :devious: For me it would be the start of a CUSTOM Z not a kit car or wanabe Ferrari. This is why I am looking into the one on e-bay I DONT WANT A KIT CAR just parts of a kit and at that price why not.

[TKR514]

My mistake....

I guess the title of the thread "Make A Ferrari" had me assuming that what people wanted to do.

Its fibreglass, and that is not busted up too bad, grind back from the top, chuck on a few layers, grind from the bottom, few layers, fill fair and she will be as good as new, that damage is really very minor.
