My first 300ZX

[zeeman1972]

Just got hold of my first 300ZX, I think she's truly beautiful. The guy who sold it to me said that he was the only careful owner and the car had never been used in the rain or parked outside.

Seems to only need some minor cosmetic bits to restore her back to perfect condition.


Pics below, what do you think???

Oh has anybody got any 300ZX Z31 Turbo wheels, the ones on mine seem to have been borrowed?

A small amount of corrosion

Looks good!

Nothing that a good T Cut can't cope with.

 

[Arkwright]

probably need a hot iron and a damp cloth too

I've taken worse to the MOT station!!

 

[zedhead260]

Stop farting about with old Z31's and get that S30 built !!!!!

 

[zeeman1972]

Ah Rob, I bet you can guess what bits I bought it for though!

 

[300zxmarcus]

probally worth what ever you paid just for the reg plate

 

[zeeman1972]

I think getting an MOT on the car to transfer it would be quiet a challenge LOL!

The white one looks better

Are you dumping them in the 280ZX ????

Better than what Status?

I have heard that these cars have very stout halfshafts and diff coolery type things, could be useful on me S30!

Wow... nice Z! I hope mine will look like that one day... inspirational!

What field did that one come out of Steve?

I hope it was free to a good home!

George, you wouldn't beleive how acurate you are with that comment, it did indeed come out of a field and I'm pretty sure most of the dents where made by farm machinery. Also the amount of dead vine, bramble and rat crap gives you a big clue. I wouldn't be surprised to find one of the little bugggers in there.

I hope it was free to a good home!

Sadly not, however, I beleive it is more than worth what I paid for it

Engine fired up straight away last night (after fitting my 280zx fuel pump in can of petrol fuel tank replacement system) sounds as sweet as, turbo whistles away nicely

Was going to ask if the engine ran, perhaps you could pop over here of you don't have other plans for it:

I have the shell and most of the running gear of an 86 turbo going for grabs. I do need to keep a few things off it though (ie the targa tops, engine, gearbox, and rear diff) the wheels are not in the best of condition but are better than nothing . If you want we could come to a deal. All I need is to remove the parts I want.
