240Z: What’s up?
Well hello there 😀 People keep asking me what’s going on and you might have noticed i’m currently working hard on finishing my EK9 project. But anyway, this is what happend with the 240Z’s lately:
First a friend told me about a great retored 240Z body in germany. took ma a while to get in touch with the owner:
what looked to be a great deal first turned out to be an US-imported model with a weird badly executed widebody conversion with modifaight taillights (even worse than my white shell). so it’s useless to me. Too sad.
Then found another car for a reasonable price which was sold in germany but then i figured out the ad on Autoscout was a scam and some people tried to trick me sending them some money. i’m happy i was smar enough and didn’t get fooled 🙂
So why am im telling you this? I thought having a cheap good shell istead of restoring mine would make everything faster and cheaper. but turned out this option seemed to be a bit of a dream. so i think i’ll just proceed with my initial project after this little dream-break 😀 Watch out for news soon 😀

Hi Nils. I also tried to contact the owner of the sheel in Germany. I was curious about the price and what that might include. The widebody does seem at least out of place. But on paper seemed like a good deal.
About the other, what do you mean? I was thinking that the scams are with other more popular cars at unbeleivable prices. Are the scamers trying now with calsssics?

Well yeah the sh ell is partially restored but if you check the pictures the welds suck, it’s an US import with german registration and the complete rear half is messed up with this widebody conversion. At the end it would need the same efford to get it to original condition than my other shells. so i let it bee 🙂
Haha yeah thought the same about the scam but definitly was a scam! The account was disabled after i notified the guys on Autoscout.
