Ive been working on this 240z frame up restoration for the past few months and havent posted here many photos. adding everything up to date.

Just incredible! So nice to see a resto done right. You have great skills….can’t wait to watch the progress.

got the 240z on the ground and off the rotisserie.. im waiting for Apex Engeneered parts which are taking forever.... at 5 weeks and still waiting for a shipping notification. but i think im moving on to epoxy priming the interior and exterior.

That’s strange, it shouldn’t take that long. I ordered some parts from them during black Friday and they arrived within 3 weeks, that’s including shipping to Europe. You can always try and contact them to ask about your order status. Looking at there social media account they do seem very busy at the moment.

Yea i dont know whats up. iv'e contacted them a few times and they said they are catching up from a big sale, i asked to pay for expedited shipping but we will see. . im not in a crazy rush but the longer i dont have the parts the longer i have to wait to measure and get fitment information for the wheels... ohwell.

I havent posted here in a bit, here are my updates, almost ready to paint. Did some updates, mods, etc.

All nice looking mods.

Whose suspension did you use?

i went with BC coil overs and the control arms are from Apex Engineered. I kept the original crossmembers as I had some that were already restored. If i decide to put a non L series motor in i may swap that out.

I’m currently installing almost the same setup except I’m keeping the stock suspension for now. I did get the crossmember along side the control arms (and frame rails) as it somehow saved me $400 on shipping to the EU.

If you are interested I’m keeping a build log with lots of pictures over on HybridZ (just started there before joining ClassicZcar).

1977 280z driving project from the Netherlands

Hello everyone and welcome to my 1977 280z project! I will be using this thread to document my journey with this car and all the little thing that will be done to it to ultimately restore and modify i

Another update - starting painting the car! some minor imperfectsions and will need to cut/buff but looks great right now. minor orange peel but for my first time doing a whole car im happy. Still need to paint the front fenders, doors and front valance.

Beyond excited - I've been trying to figure out what to do with the engine. I have a N42/N47 and wanted to turbo it. Randomly today I just picked up a 83" L28et with 45k miles or $500. Pistons and head look perfect inside. Going to go through it still but hell ya. No one I know gets it. Can't wait to get it into the 240z.... Now to decide which turbo and intake, management system, etc
