Could be interesting...

Looks to be OK but has clearly had a lot of welding and some of that may be questionable. One to see in person I think..!

Worth it in panels to be cut off alone !

That would be an awful waste of a potentially reasonable RHD shell no?

He seems quite clear that it needs lots of work? you can see lots of joints rusting through in strange places?

Are you looking at the same advert? He’s says it’s completely solid with no rust. No pictures of the underneath which is a shame. The floor to inner sill on the passenger side looks a bit odd, doesn’t look like it’s been welded in right at all.

Really ?

How many RHD shells were cut up to convert imported LHD shells ?

How many 280ZXs have been cut-up for merely mechanical parts ?

No pity, no mercy.

i noticed this also.. and the drivers side chassis rail below where the washer bottle would normally be located looks odd... looks odd all up that inner a panel too.

IMO it's worth a good look however we don't know what the reserve is.

I did ask the seller...
Reserve is 4k... but he’d like more

This is the sort of car I would be interested in but a bit too far away to take a look. Needs a lot of panels and parts but I’d agree that it looks too good to cut up in today’s market.

Totally agree with that last point - most definitely too good to chop up.

That kink in the RH chassis rail looks vaguely similar to the repair I need to do on Dixie. In Dixie’s case, there is a slight twist in the rail behind the tension/compression rod bracket, suggesting it ran over some object/high curb at speed and the shock through the suspension tweaked it a bit. There’s no other damage though. This shell looks like something a bit more drastic was involved. Note there’s a line of seam sealer curving across the inner wing in front of the bulkhead and the vertical part looks rather wavy. The seller has been honest though about suspecting it’s had a prang that will needing looking at.

So get together and make a 'club-car' : stuff Nissans' yellow jobbie, maker a tastefully improved fast-road Z and get the press in !
