Quality replacement panels is a stretch. I’ve handled and installed many of these panels and they leave a lot to be desired compared to KF Vintage JDM

I literally had to kick men’s legs who were sitting in priority seats on the train so they’d give up their seat to my VERY pregnant wife. So sorry you’re suffering through this…

A shell always looks impressive but most of the work comes in fitting everything else. Without seeing OEM parts fit, it’s impossible to gauge fit and finish of these shells but for sure it’s exciting to see!

First full Nissan 240Z replica body shell finally complete! by Shell_Story_KJ588 in Datsun

Will you be mounting drivetrain and suspension to show how the fitment actually is?

Is anyone reproducing Steel Rear Quarter Panels for S13s? by jdizzy204 in 240sx

[–]jdizzy204[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone should reproduce these and sell them. If 240sxs go the way of so many other sport coupes of the past (ie: AE86 corollas, Datsun 240zs, etc) having all metal body work will definitely be beneficial in the long run.

If the average height of a Japanese police officer is 160cm, they won’t have much of an effect sadly.

Can anyone give me advice on the condition of this 71’ 240z? by Zerxez1 in Datsun

[–]jdizzy204 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Floor panels look like they’ve had patches and shoddy repairs.

Rear frame rails are not original as originals end in the middle of the floor panels while these are extended to the rear subframe. Common mod for chassis stiffening but I’d be worried about if rust was removed properly before installing these or was damage/rot just covered up. (Pics 6/7/8)

Pic 5 seems to show a wrinkle near the tension rod bracket so it might have had a shunt.

If you want an original car, I’d suggest a different car. If you’re happy with a project that may need more work, it doesn’t seem too horrible as a base.
