Meet Pepper...a spicy, rusty 1973 240z / Welding class thread

Recommended Posts

Sup gang. Recently acquired a z with the gf. The story goes like this,

I had made a deal to buy a 2dr 510. But, the seller sold it from under me. Like a bitch. So, I was pretty bummed about that the next day. The gf saw me all sad and on her own found a z on eBay that was a pretty good deal. So she bid on it, not really expecting to win, but she won! The only rub was that the car was in NY. And we are in CA. But we figured it out and finally have her in the garage.

I knew she was going to be rusty, coming from the east coast. But it's a bit worse than I thought. But, I will let you be the judge. On with pics.

Lol. Thanks for the compliments. Sincere and backhanded ones.

 

The shipping company we used was DAS. Pricey but dependable. The priceyness was from it not running. Otherwise, very competitive pricing.

 

Plans are to get the brakes working. We had an almost disaster getting her into the garage. Then fix the rot. Specifically the frame rails/floor pans. And then to the engine and tranny. But it will be a slow going project. With 3 Datsuns they're all fighting for attention. Lol

You being in California, might I ask what made you look to the East Coast for Z?

 

I always hear it being the other way around. A lot more early Z's were sold West Coast too.

 

I agree with the above advise of looking for another shell.

 

Wish you the best with it though.

Yes. She meant well. And just got caught up with the allure of winning. Had I known she was gonna bid I probly would have advised against it. But, what's done is done. And we can only look forward.

 

So now we will do what we can with this poor neglected z.
