Tossing this up here since its a great project and cheap

Located in Rochester and would need to be picked up.

You bastard! I woulda bought it in a heartbeat!

I love 240Z’s if i had the time/money for a big project such as one I would have started building one of these, someday I will…

My friend is in the process of completely restoring a 1970 Fairlady Z from japan…

Although right now its on hold as he is in japan for at least another year…

Thing is acctualy in quite good condition considering it was a DD for its whole life…

Rockers were the only serios rust, and the interior neeeds a minor overhaul which he already has everything, its just waiting to go back together when he gets back
