Needs some work but it wil be allright in the end.
 
Welcome, keep us updated on your progress.

New parts available from MJP Auto, Mr. F on this site.

Check the classifieds also.
 
I can see you need a Z badge for the rear quarter and I think I have a spare.

Good luck and welcome to the site.
 
Hello Eric, you like a challenge then :bow:

Nice wheels.

That car will be a LOT of work Eric and the problem is it will cost a few bob too.

900SS mentioned a shell and to be honest it may be worth thinking about that route i.e. converting a LHD US import.
 
Welcome Eric,
Blimey.....I hope you can weld/or have deeeppp pockets. A fair few parts of the body are going to have to be made, let alone replacement panels. Good luck, keep us posted
 
Hello!!

And, well.... Good luck!!

Regardless of cost, my hope is these cars work out all worth it in the end! It's what I cling to anyhow!!
 
hi there..looks like a lot of work there.ive got loads to do on my 260 as well..finding that the rust lurks in all the hidden places as well..
 
looks like that is already a lhd 260Z.that will keep you busy.good luck with your project !!!!!!!!1
 
Thank you all for the kind words :)

The wheels on the car are brand new ATS classics, i love them!

As far as welding and stuff, i just gonna take the time and i am sure it will come out nice, i have been welding before so i am pretty sure i still can do this.
Parts seem to be a little harder to find then i expected but i am in no hurry.
The car is a LHD car indeed but that is because i live in the Netherlands and we all drive LHD cars :)

Importing stuff from the USA will cost about 5000 euro's, i bought this car for 200 euro's so i guess i have 4800 euro's to play with now and when i am done i know everything will be done properly and there are no hidden surprises anymore.

I am not aiming for a showroom car, just want it to look tidy and drive as it should.

Will be picking up the first parts this weekend so thats the start for this project!
