Another coupe with some damage http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/rare-datsun-240k-2-door-few-spares-/320892633075?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item4ab6b0fff3#ht_500wt_1413

The LPG filler was there unfortunately. I have a piece cut ready to weld in there so it should be fixed soon.

Swarf, is the car staying in SA? or going interstate or even overseas?

Degruch - Those adverts are cool but it's lacking Flares, lowness and watanabe's Adz - I was the same as you, should i pull them apart and re plate them or get new ones. In the end I chose new ones from YJ because they required less effort haha. Sandblasting door Hinges-

hmm maybe i'm wrong

Front bumper should but rear bumper won't, guards should fit too.

Bit of a update - I machined the rough cast finish off the alloy bearing carriers for the diff centre and gave them a little polish. And i'm slowly putting every nut, bolt, washer, bracket etc. that was zink plated from factory into this tub ready to be redone.

I like the look of flares with wide rims but don't like the fact that the bodywork gets cut up to fit them.

No progress Adzmax, I just sat the jdm lights in there to see how it would look and fitted new reflectors to the rear bar so I sat it on for a look too.

Yeah boganville UPI

You are such a perfectionist!, keep up the awesome work.

I spotted this tidy looking 240k in a wreaking yard car park this morning. the last time a spotted it was a couple of years ago when it passed me on the road and it sounded like it was turbo, anyone on here the owner? I think it may have been for sale a couple of years ago too?

The plan is a mild L28 with triples and coilovers with a Brake upgrade.

It definitely wasn't mine but It's good to hear that there's another one around and it's being driven, hopefully the owner joins up here and posts pics and info for us. When I talked to you last I was going to just respray the engine bay but after taking out the LPG it left holes in the body work that needed fixing and I found some rust in the bootlid under the trim so I've decided to strip the whole car and give it a ground up rotisserie rebuild.

Very nice car!

I think the Interior is probably blue but otherwise looks pretty good. It's begging for a GTR Build.....

And some people say there hard to find. haha

Great looking K and nice rims, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the pics swarf, I forgot my camera so didn't get any:( I was only near my car for about 10 mins for the whole day so you would have been lucky to catch me. I spent most of the morning looking at the cars and I went for a walk up the beach with some friends after lunch. I walked past your 31 a few times but you had heaps of people looking at it so i didn't interrupt, it seemed to be quite popular!. I might go to stadium drift at Tailem bend on march 12 but i'm not %100 sure yet, if i go i will take the datsun so if your there come over for a chat. Adrian, i took the front GL badge off because i took the mesh out of the grill to clean it. after wearing out 2 tooth brushes they came up pretty well but when i sat the badge back in there it looked crap with half the blue paint missing so i left it off for the show. I actually don't mind the look of it with out the badge.

Bonzi Lon - The wheels are Bathurst Globes and are made in Australia, I cant see why they wouldn't fit a Z. swarf. It would definitely be the standard colour if it gets a respray.

No plans for the car in the immediate future really, for the moment it will stay as is. I'm not happy with the paint and panel on it and would like to give it a ground up restoration one day but that wont be for a few years. A worked motor with Triple Webers would be nice as well. It has been entered into AJD so you can check it out there.
