My 240c coupe build
Posted: Sat Jun 14, 2014 11:53 am
Hey guys Andrew here, Just starting my build post, Ok to start I use to have a mk3 ma70 supra, i was allways having problems with the S,O,B she wasnt running for god knows how long, until one day i went round to my mates house and saw this "little" gem, I fell in love with it the first time i saw it and really wanted to sort out some sort of deal, after a few failed bets at buying the 240c i ended up swaping my supra for her, she wasn't much to look at with quite a bit of rust around the bonnet and boot, It would have put most people off this rare piece of datsun history, but i was thinking on the finished look and i couldn't get it out of my head, so i did the swap and tbh i regretted it as soon as i started taking it apart just finding more and more things that i wasnt happy with, but never aless, ive committed so much allready to her i cant really just say nah shes fucked, so atm the windscreens out to fix rust in both A pillars the boot is stripped ready for plates to be welded in along with the bonnet and the drivers side guard, im currently doing a recon on all four corners with the brakes shocks and springs, Im in two minds wither to keep the car original or keep it as much original and just keep the parts to swap them back in, to my amazement all the bushes and steering components are pretty much like new just a bit dirty engine and gearbox to diff are all in mint condition along with the factory black embroidered seats, theres not one crack in the dash door cards and seats with 63k/miles on the dash and on carjam id say this thing has alot to look forward to in the next few months. I will have pictures up in the next couple of days,
