The issue with a pick 'n pull is that 240Zs are notorious for rust. Therefore, a lot of parts would be useless.

Check out Motorsport Auto for parts, get their printed catalog. It's great. Oh, and keep us posted on progress

Plus they all got raped years ago.

Motorsport Auto is a great source for restoration parts, and start checking eBay and AutoTrader for parts cars. Less than a grand should get you what you need plus plenty of spares.

I'll ask my father-in-law where he gets his parts. He just completly rebuilt his '72 240z from the ground up. It looks so purty. The only thing not stock is the engine parts because he wanted a brand new inline-6 race engine from Nissan.

There's going to be a Z meet out in Vacaville this month. You may want to see if those guys have anything, or know someone local who's parting out.
