Omg! How old is this car? It's my first question. Secondly, I'm curios to see what you are going to do with it.

Hey buddy, thanks for the interest.

The car is bonna be 43 years old in may, next month, same as me haha, that's the sentimental value addition to it.

The plan is to rebuild the shell, remove as much rot as possible, get a nissan 350z rear subframe, implenment it into the 242, then adjust the whole car to be able to use it, adapt some big brakes, make the car suit the big wheels i got in mind, as the brakes won't allow mostly any of the 17 inch wheels over them, then nuild a good old redblock, make it work with a 16v head i got for it, big turbo, management, complete rewire... Also, full interior, all the sound deadening... The idea is to make it into a proper street car with one or two creature comforts, as i hate it when people make a road car into a race car and complain about all the extras that come with it.

Also, i'll have to build some kinda widebody for it as thge wheels in question will be sticking out quite a bit as they are wide and bery little positive offset, so that will be another challenge, but oh well, if i didn't like challenges i wouldn't have even started doing anything to it lol

So yeah, anyway, we shall see. Firstly i need to find somewhere to work on it as i no longer have a garage at my place as i have been evicted from the house we were in...

There you go lol
