Are the guards and doors not repairable? Didn't look to bad from the pics

Im sure my doors are repairable

had my panel beater look at guards and valence today and
he said see what else i can find otherwise open checkbook

im not worried about a little rust as long as there straight

cheers

I can honestly say you will have to stick with what you have.

It would be a miracle to find someone with spare doors or guards in NZ.

Those stainless eyebrow trims of which you speak of fetch hundreds of dollars each, with just the stainless trim parts you need I would not expect you to get change from 2K. Demand exceeds supply 10 fold with these cars now.

I do wish you all the best with this car. I hope you look after it as you said you will and you are realistic as to how much it will cost to finish.

Unless you are a panel beater (or married to one) I don't expect you would see change from 20k for panel / paint.

Here is my old one, sold it last year and have regretted it ever since;

WHere did it end up going Flaus??

[Bartman]

I think Kane's cuzzies bought it?

Its in Gizzy but is with my cousins friend as they have a minter already. They sent me a pic of the 240k sedan so that is probably with another one of their mates.

thanks Flauski i was waiting for you to come
and lay the facts down hahaha ,every where
i read about the 240s there you are

im not shy on spending a bit of cash especially
if it end up looking half as decent as your old
one ,that thing is beautiful!!!

Having stripped two of these to almost nut+bolt and rebuilding the one above (myself) back to almost complete; I know a thing or two. I had to source parts for mine worldwide and also sold parts for 240Ks worldwide in Japan, UAE, UK, US, Australia. Mine was 100% complete, decent amount of spares, and had most of the Jap spec Skyline parts (of which I am yet to see any others of in NZ.)

Eg the stupid foam/stud mounts for the front eyebrow trims will have to be made (I got a dude in Ozzy who was making some for his make me some too)

And the spring steel clips that mount the stainless trim along the boot lid (which will be hiding rust along the rim) are available ex-Japan only as a remake and will cost around $150-$200.

I also spent HEAPS of time trying to research with little info on the net. Only one other owner I know of in NZ says anything at all on forums and I suspect he spends zero time on this one anymore.

I can recommend you look at this 240K sub-forum of Classic Z cars as it was the only active source of specific 240K info/parts (well it was a year ago.) http://www.classiczcars.com/forum/52-k-skyline-forum/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

All the best with the hunt!
