Howzit to all my brothers (and sisters) in Datsunland.
I am based in South Africa, but will be returning to the UK with my 240z. Over the last 10 years it has been pushed around my garage over and over, while receiving a number of updates while keeping it's mainly stock appearance. (Subtle upgrades such as coil-overs, 4 wheel disc brakes and ITBs).
A few years back I ordered a set of 17" Rota RBRs (Staggered -11, -19 if memory serves me) and a set of fender flairs.
I've now reached a crossroad.... bearing in mind I want to bring the car to the UK, do I cut the body and go for a JDM look or stick with a more "Resto Mod" look (upgraded mechanicals).
The car is totally stock inside. Right down to the original radio. No sunroof, or speaker holes in door cards. Just gone around the clock at 100 000km. (62 000 miles).
With the 240Z prices going through the roof (especially for RHD) I now need to think with my head. The last thing I need is to be told that the car would have been worth xxxx more if I hadn't chopped the arches for flares.
Asking for advice from any of the UK brethren. I may be wrong, but my gut feeling is that a stock looking car might be worth more especially when coming to let it go?
