few more to go

next

i'm abotu to buy another 240z a '72 i believe i have not personally seen the car but the guy has sent me pictures it's got a few body damage dents and such but i don't see anything major and he says that he has checked for rust in all the regular places and has found none or very little... here is waht he sent to me via email i was wondering if these damages are "quick fixes" i do have access to a "parts" car but owud liek some advice on the seriousnes of the damage(s) he also says the frame has no damage which i will try to see..he's selling for $500 below are some pics

If anyone is in the surrounding area of Lakewood/Del Amo a '89 Nissan 240 SX was stolen between the times of 10:30pm Thursday and 8:00am Friday , The cars color is burgundy and the plates are 3WJN773 if anyone has any info please contact the Lakewood Sherrif Department or you can give us a call 310-435-7129

thanks for the encouragement kmack! i found another shell i could use for a good price but it looks like from wht the guy told me and the pics he sent me it got hit a few times i'm gonan take a look at the car this weekend and see if hte body is straight or not and if hte damage is only cosmetic, looks like i'll be using hte otehr car as a parts car well atleast i'll also have a car to practice stuff on i.e welding sandblasting etc...

hey cuong i've been reading some of the post on the swap and i read that teh ecu and wiring harness are not usable as far as that goes how did you wire the car? i guess ecu is no problem sds haltech motec are available, but how did you do the wiring? or am i jsu tno reading the posts right? can you enlighten me on this subject before i invest gobs of $$ in this project

oh yea and i'm getting the RB for free so that's no problem either

i'm actaully thinking fo doing most fo the work myself since i have most of the tools, and i have some friends with welding equipment that can help me..as far as money is concerned i don't have much but i get by that i can afford contracting some fo the work out..and as for time...i'm in no rush i have 2 other cars i can use this car is just for my pleasure to build up for a street/race use i'm only 21 so i think i have all the time i need i would have resold the car and bought a better one but i already started stripping her so i don't like starting something and not finishing it...

yea i was thinking of jsut using the car for parts and looking for another shell but i decided to stip the car first and see waht i come up with, i'm having a body shop that does vintage cars and such for an estimate(when i'm done stripping the car), should be farely cheap since i'm going to supply most of the parts that they'll need...

can non members come by?

ok here's my problem i bought my z from a guy not too long ago(i m strippng it right now for rus inspection) well to make a long story short i had to break/pry off most of the locks because i didn't have a key, also he lost the key for the wheels:cry: now how do i take the wheel locks out?, i've never done anything like that before.. also where can i get a new set of locks/ key i know victoria british sells a key/lock combo for the ignition(which i need too) but i don't see anything in their catalog for the door/hatch? any input would help
