Indeed it is and it does now have a nova title but has not yet been registered.Hi
is that the car from California connections ? I would start work on registering with DVLA as I don't think it had a title.
everyone on here has helped me loads so you are in the right place.

As the car is not in the best of condition I will be doing a resto-mod going for the Japanese wide-body look with a basic stripped (race car) interior.Sorry and meant to say hello and welcome. What is your plans for the car resto / race , concourse you have so many options with that car .
yeah, I went into this knowing full well i would need to find some part but hoping the lovely people here can help.Welcome to the club - looks like you need a few parts!
yeah, it's a mostly good shell, the floors and bulkhead/firewall need replacing along with new radiator support.welcome. It's a great shell, I've seen it.
Enjoy! I’m just coming to the end of my resto, bought as per attached 30 June last yearHey everyone,
new here as I've Just recently brought a 1973 240z to restore, any advice and help would be appreciated.
nice build and only took a year to complete?Enjoy! I’m just coming to the end of my resto, bought as per attached 30 June last year
Ah nice, my project will be self built with help from a few friendsYes, I project managed the build with the body shop, my local classic car garage and the restorer in Devon who did most of that build and rebuilt the engine after being in a crate for 40 years
Nice job Kieron, looks really clean. Did you do a full restoration on the interior too?Yes, I project managed the build with the body shop, my local classic car garage and the restorer in Devon who did most of that build and rebuilt the engine after being in a crate for 40 years
Looks much better than the majority of cars I’ve seen. Lovely shell. If the rear arches are original I would begrudge cutting them…! Though if you’d have asked me 10 years ago I’d have already cut them out ha.As the car is not in the best of condition I will be doing a resto-mod going for the Japanese wide-body look with a basic stripped (race car) interior.
Came with its original dashboard and trim however given the quality level I was aiming to achieve its had new NOS door cards, new kick boards, vinyl trim, carpets, mats, refurb seats, sill plates etc …. So yes it looks brand new as per all other parts of the car with exception of matching numbers engine and transmission.Nice job Kieron, looks really clean.

Speaking as someone who has already cut arches on my project car, I'm with Dan on this! If the rear arches are in good condition, I'd think hard about going that route, and if you do, do the neatest job you can do. Too many trimmed arches look positively "agricultural" in quality IMO. Yes, you can't see them when the overfenders are on, but it acts as an indicator of resto/mod quality to me. I took excessive care when I did them - see the Project Dixie build thread for the outcome!Looks much better than the majority of cars I’ve seen. Lovely shell.

I’ve got quite a bit you may need, drop me a pm if you like.
You're thinking along the same lines as me - I've done the exterior this year, so just the interior and a few mechanicals to do next (after the winter lockdown!!)Came with its original dashboard and trim however given the quality level I was aiming to achieve its had new NOS door cards, new kick boards, vinyl trim, carpets, mats, refurb seats, sill plates etc ….

It’s not been cheap but feel it has been worth it
Just waiting for rolling road test and few other tweaks before I get it back …. In time for winter and storage
