Hiya mate. Keep the bike (unless you want to sell it to me...). Welcome to the club. There's a guy on here who gets US import cars (if you wanted to start with a 'rust free' job, but they're left hookers and would need switching, another good project...). Enjoy it whatever you choose.

how much should i be looking to spend to get a usable 240z or 260z i want one thats solid but i don't mind if its untidy as i'll probably mod it any way. i don't mind if its a 2 seater or a 2+2

If you can find a decent car look at about 4-8k. Above that it would have to be in excellent condition. Some cheaper ones available, however you need to take advice from those in the know when considering a car that needs work as the cars can bite you and your wallet if you get it wrong.

yeah i know all about buying what looks like a good car n turns out to be a black hole for money. my last project was ment to be a quick easy rebuild £7k later and its still not done and thats just on a mini. Im lucky that betwwen me be a mechanic and my old man being very handy with a welder and a spray gun there isn't much we can't tackle ourselfs. if there any meets coming up any time soon down the south of england?
