Hi all,
I've done a fair bit of research and have decided that I would like the 240z (series) as my first project car.
I'm looking for basically a rolling chassis, but with minimal rust. As I've seen on the forums its hard to come by one with minimal rust, and if you do, its likely been done up and restored already (costing £30/40k).
I'd like to do mechanical work myself, so a non-starter/poorly running engine, worn clutch, missing/damaged panels, rough interior etc would be perfectly wanted, but any subframe/metal damage wouldn't, as I'm not looking to get overly involved with fabrication. I'm also not looking to drop a whole new engine in, as I don't have the sort of equipment needed for that type of work.
I've seen a few online between 5-10k in decent condition with various issues, and would be alright to spend that sort of money as long as the chassis was good.
Regarding LHD/RHD, I'm not too fussed, but an RHD would obviously be preferred as I'm in the UK.
This is my first post on the site, so I'm keen to hear back from the community, any tips/advice would be more than welcome!
