back then my old L18 1200 coupe was in full swing. When I bought the 240K at the start of 2003 I was in the middle of fitting the flares to the 1200 to clear the fat 13" superlites, and fitting 240Z 1-2-3 gearset into my stumpy 5spd.



and later that year I got the roll cage done




Then at the end of the year we were swapping a mate's L18/20 stroker and close ratio gearbox into the car for the 2004 season. I was fully occupied with the 1200 track car project, so the 240K sat in the carport in the backyard for about 18months untouched. And like I said, back then they were not considered in the least bit desirable. I've always been into the less popular Datsuns though.

The V8 was leant over so the extractors cleared the steering box. That was one of the things I planned to change... I hate to think what it would be worth now! lol Even in that condition, let alone if I had painted it and thrown some fat wheels on it and stuff. It was definitely the one that got away.
