Right then, as promised this is the start of my quest for perfect Z ownership. After my 2+2 260z garage find turned out to be the most monumentally f***ed motor I'd ever come across I was determined to find one that could be restored.
With the chaps at Retropower already lined up to do the difficult work I set about sourcing a rolling shell for the madness to commence. My criteria were simple: 2 seater, all steel, very few previous repairs, lots of the original metal (need good patterns for replacement metal), cheap as possible and any additional spares would be nice.
So on the 20th April I collected this rather shabby looking 1974 260z rolling shell together with replacement tailgate, replacement bonnet, a bunch of repair panels and a replacement roof and carted the lot over to Retropower for work to begin.
