Sunroof or no sunroof most English Z's are fooked, stars & strips all the way for us lot that have been involved in the marque for in excess of 20 years I'm affraid my friend Ask anyone who has driven an import it is a totally different experience because the cars & chassis are straight & unmolested by bodgers
Short sighted opinion. it makes my skin crawl to see a 'joke' 240Z .. It wears the Union jack.. but pull up it's skirts and its still flaunting it's Stars and Stripes knickers.
Short sighted opinion. I have been involved for the last 30 years plus in the restoration of all marques of classic cars. I have restored them properly and never bodged. If you have 60% of a rusty UK 240Z then its not difficult to restore it. I have been doing mine now for about 18 months and have not come across one item that was beyond my capabilities. The best thing you can do is buy a crap 240z from the states and chop the bugger up and use all the parts on your UK 240Z. That way you will keep a UK car on the road, and keep the restoration cost down. You can sell the LH Drive bits to those that prefer their steering wheel to be on the Left.

Any 'build threads' on the work involved?
Thing is, all these cars are made in Japan, you can get rot boxes from the US as well but there is a good chance that a UK car will be hiding rust or bad old repair. If you can get a good US car you can convert it, sourcing bits is not easy
Check out Johnymd's threads - he's done a few conversions....
SacCyclone on here is the person who can source a car in the US for you, I've met him, he exists. Never get a workmate who thinks he knows cars to look at one for you! For my second attempt, I found a seller that sent pictures of exactly the areas of what was wrong with the first car. The second car is good required rear dogleg and inner arch as it had trapped water once, that's it, likely a little lucky the second time around
