i just bought a 240z
 

i just bought the car of my dreams but it needs some work nothing big except for the fuel pump and the choke other than that all it needs is paint and some body work

Cool!! Any pics?

no not yet it broke down before i got home

hahaha.... sounds like the car of your dreams alright ;) breaks down on the ride home. hope you towed it and didnt leave it.

it's near my house a block away but i want to drive it already(there goes my college fund)

i have been looking at a 240z 260z or 280z to buy to drop my 1982 280zx turbo engine into i think u should find a good running 280zx turbo car and drop the hole engine etc into the 240z. Just a thought. ! Nismo619 !

Not a bad start

Damn! Is that bondo all over the car? I hate it when people slap on some body filler and think it solves all problems. :wasted:

nice z....make sure u get all those bondo spots and bare metal covered.

i will i just need to find a good mechanic

Overall not too bad. Did you check the frame rails and floor boards for rust?

why edit your 4 photo but then not your 3rd??:111: (plate)

Did you get the bumpers?

i bet if i would cut all the rust out of my car i would gain a whole second on weight reduction.
nice z though.

yes i got the bumpers and my girlfriend forgot to edit it

i donno... kinda look s good without.

I'm starting to feel the same way...I bought carbon fiber bumpers several months ago, but they're just sitting in my garage...

told ya ill take em!!!!

Make me an offer? Nah....I'm undecided right now with what I'm gonna do with them...

haha... did you get the 72 mounts also out of curiosity?

Yeah they're the mounts from the earlier Zs...

can the car be registered without the bumpers? and im going to have my mechanic work on it tomorrow and if not im going to take it to the z doctor

depends on you're local laws.

I had no problem registering mine plus I've been pulled over by cops twice (no front plate/ speeding, illegal U-turn) and neither time did the cop even mention the bumpers. So if you can get away with it here in the Peoples Republic of Illinois, you can probably get away with it anywhere....
