"Another 2 years in the body shop" WTH? get that bodyman some caffeine STAT.

This car looks like it has 123,000 miles. I hope the bidders aren't thinking thats the true mileage. Rockers look like they're caked with bondo and rusting underneath. Solid california car otherwise. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-Series-DATSUN-RARE-240-Z-SURVIVOR-CALIFORNIA-CAR-ORIGINAL-/381560716417?forcerrptr=true&hash=item58d6ca7c81:g:gc0AAOSwZ8ZW2Mxz&item=381560716417 YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1972 DATSUN 240Z WITH ONLY 23K ORIGINAL MILES NUMBERS MATCHING ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION 2ND OWNER

Good to hear. A 2 year ground up resto only deserves the best parts. Glad to have helped. I'de like to see pictures of the car if you've got em. Sooner or later the repro guys will figure out their error and start building correct door cards for the 260. Edit: For future reference if anyone is buying repro's from the the usa to oz.. It cost 2oo usd to send 2 door cards to OZ using the usps. but that was using a 20 lb wooden box. You could do it for probably half that if you used cardboard but would risk damage.

I googled ford pinto gas tank fire and wow tons of burning pinto photo's "tyres" ??? you're not from around here are you?

overseas buyer i think. He is making it convenient to get it to a shipping port.

Well Gavin, do the nissan factory door panels I sent fit his car better than the reproductions?

It sold for $1076.00 with only 2 bids. I thought for sure such a rare item would have sold for at least $1500

Do you want to sell yours? Someone should take a silicone mould of that faceplate so that others can be made.

This is the later style hitachi 8 track and they even made a hitachi cassette that i've seen in the s31. I will keep an eye out for the older 8 track. Back in the day they even had adapters for 8 tracks that let you play cassette tapes

Very had to find what you're looking for. I've got a later am/fm unit thats aftermarket. You have a 70 240 ? You might be interested in this one on ebay. You might just be able to put a new faceplate on it to fit a 240z http://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-Datsun-510-8-Track-Player-and-Radio-/231849189127?vxp=mtr I do believe the "stock hitachi" 8 track for the s30 was only available in markets outside the usa and will be difficult to find. This is a video of the one kats put in his 70 z432. https://youtu.be/dp3rXgBE7pU

I've enlarged that photo and I see gravesites all over that yard!

Got a rusty gas tank? Got a rusty suspension? Get that por15 on all tha body rust asap.

Here is the holy grail. Behold... a brand new one. Edit: location secret until after Gav240z refinances house and buys new radio

You've got a rally clock and that wasn't original equip to OZ s30's. To be authentic, you will just have to get rid of that thing. I'll take it off your hands. Thanks for the link to new faceplates

Oh heck yea. Those are nice. Why are you asking for used faceplates when they make new? You want the antenna switch too right? I do believe they all used the same antenna switches. This is a shot of my last signal seeker.

well the last 2 signal seekers i've had were good at receiving static. Their sensitivity is poor and sound quality even poorer. I turned it on and let it tune and listened to it for 10 minutes. Yea, thats cool and never turned it on again. The earlier faceplate will adapt it to the earlier dash with the 2 screw holes on the bottom corners. I'm not sure about the mounts however. I've not tried it myself. But as you know many things datsun had made or made are interchangeable I've got a couple faceplates that need work. I think it would be easier 3d printing new ones. The plastic is very brittle from old age. I can measure the holes in mine and tell you if your fairlady radio is the same just out of curiosity sake. Thats too bad on the damaged console that was shipped. Was it shipped from JP to OZ? Edit: The shaft hole size of the signal seeker is the same as the newer am/fm and i'de bet your fairlady radio is the same too. The difference is in the mounts and the owners perception.

You can pick up one of the cheap(er) fairlady L AM radio's and put a signal seeker faceplate on it and nobody will know the difference.

It was the 2 GALLONS of "plastibond" that set off red flags for me. Sounds like he wants you to fund other projects in his shop. He's getting sandpaper from another customer because 1/2 yard of sandpaper aint gonna go far. and.. i hope that roll of wire is for a wire feed welder. If not, then 2 gallons of bondo and baling wire sends shivers up my spine You can get por-15 in mexico and have it shipped to you. With all the maritime shipping traffic in panama i find it hard to believe you can't find it locally. I think you just have to look harder. http://www.por15.com/International_ep_42.html

I would stay away from shops that ask ME to buy the materials for them.
