My new 240z

Thanks jumbobeck, I contacted the seller on CL and we had a chat for a bit and he sent me an email with that link...... needless to say I transfered $500 to him and flew out 2 days later :).

When I got there the car was everything I hoped it would be, after a rather spirted blast down the free way I stumpted up the cash, the brakes are better than on my s2000 !!!

It looks like a terrific buy. What shipping company are you using? Out of Longbeach? RoRo or container? RoRo sounds better to me, but you can't cram the car full of cheap spares!
I've been to see a couple of cars in Arizona, but have stopped the search temporarily due to other commitments. I love the look of your car. Good luck with it
 
Cheers Jumbobeck,

I'm using ship my car.com. I'm sort of happy with the service, I would like more updates than I'm getting to be honest, it is the holiday season so maybe I'm expecting too much. The car is coming over in a container and it is rammed full of parts :). The car is being shipped from the port of LA which is near long beach.
 
The gun ship is home

Happy days ,

Good to meet you tomZupra , lovely to see and hear you turbo 260z.

Bloody long day though .... 480mile round trip

Good to meet you too mate, glad you got it back OK, it's still light in that photo so can't have been too bad!

The car looked like it had all the right work done to it, great Base to start with. Get some photos up!
 
I know where you are coming from Rob, I think it looks pretty damn cool as it is. Although the paint has

faded badly from all that California sun and it has faded unevenly which sort of adds to the rat look.

Maybe just clear coat it?

I'm going to start a build thread so I will put all the new photos in there.
 
Looks great. Defiantly into this style more. Don't need he flares to look mean.
Check these out. Guy I follow on Instagram. Nice simple style
