View Advert 1973 240z L24 with 4 speed MT, SU Carbs, 6-1 header, E88 heads I've had this drivetrain sitting in my garage since I drove it in ... (in 2014 LOL). It's an L24 from a 73 240z. It turns over easily by hand. Notables: 4 speed MT, early SU carbs, 6-1 Header, E88 heads. I think I probably have the matching air filter box here somewhere as well. Can anyone use any of this before it goes to Kijiji? Just let me know. Located in Calgary. Advertiser ConVerTT Date 07/15/2022 Price $12,345 Category Parts for Sale  

Been there Ryan... My thoughts - cut it out and replace it while you are still on the jig. Check out my old thread - start from the bottom of page 5... Look at the bright side...your metal fab skills are about to go through the roof 😉 https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61483-240z-fabbing-new-front-rails/?&page=5#comments

Nice work Ryan! Way to stick with it! So i would cut out all the rust on the jig, fix the floor and rockers and then go to the rotisserie personally. The jig holds everything straight. I did each rocker and the front rails separately, but I am certain I could have cut more away at once. The floors basically attach to the trans tunnel and the inner rocker. I had patched my inner rockers but once I got it on the jig I actually cut it all the way out and replaced it. The frame didn't budge. Same thing when I did the front rails. Have fun!!!!

Go Ryan go! Super Glad that post helped somebody! 😉🙏

Fantastic - glad to help ...

Haha - thanks a bunch. The pivot is at 41 inches when the rig is on 5 inch casters. Cheers

No kidding. You'd think it was a British car ....

The non-vented hood is of course correct on an original 240z. But if the car is a going to be a resto-mod, then do whichever you prefer. I have both hoods for my 72 project. I haven't decided either - I might paint them both before deciding ....

Agreed @Namerow! But I have to admit that my first thought was "what the hell is Flexible Texture Material? Cheese Whiz?"

Not sure! That would require me to sort through said mad stacks ...?

Looks great! I don't know if I should tell you this now but ... (...I have stacks of those panels....mad stacks yo ....) because "garage sale"

Haha - Thanks! No I am just an amateur. I basically bought the same unit as the guy who showed me how to weld. It's a Miller 141 - relatively cheap, 120 V but best to run on a 20A circuit, MIGs sheet metal through 3/16 plate (would be fine on 1/4" too). Uses 0.024 or 0.030 wires.

Pulled all the fuel and brake lines and finally got to flip it all the way upside down. It will be so luxurious to finish up the rust repair and seam welding like this …???

A lot of truths in this thread ?
