Fingers crossed. Maquarie pass? Nearly been killed twice there in a normal car. On hearing you risked that through there I muttered "Geez mate you're keen" and then with the car near falling off it was "fuchin hell". But happy days anyway passing the engineering, relief, and a job well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZ930 Posted 26May, 2019 Report Share Posted 26May, 2019 What’s this “finally get onto the Alpha” bit ? There’s an engine to build ! Understand what you have planned Jeff. Somebody had to sound outraged. Got one of these yet ? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Hotwheels-Car-Culture-Eurospeed-Alpha-Romeo-Giulia-Sprint-GTA/183816550049?hash=item2acc51f6a1:g:q7oAAOSwt-xc4Kvv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 13July, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 13July, 2019 It was a long build, but my Datsun 240z affectionately know as the 680g is done. Here is the whole build from start to finish. firstone and Harvs11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 13July, 2019 Report Share Posted 13July, 2019 I wasn’t sure where you were headed with this build but you've won me over with a great result. Well done Now you know what your priority has to be now. 🍊 MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 4September, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 4September, 2019 Yes, the 680G is officially For Sale. After 2 years building it, I unfortunately need to move it on to keep plowing ahead with the Alfarrari and 911 builds. In this video I do the final few touches to finish it off.

dan_189 Posted 22October, 2019 Report Share Posted 22October, 2019 Good luck Jeff - speed yellow FTW! I'd just remove the rear wiper and get some GT3 MK1 wheels you're two steps closer to real GT3 spec! Wonder what that VF supercharger is like!

People as crazy for them as for air cooled 911's. Forget the 2+2's, they are basically the cab' of the Z world. The cheapest RHD one I can currently find that is running and on the road is an auto for $34k, and that is 'in great original condition for it's age' and has 'very little rust' 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are any cheap RHD 2 seaters around I know a bunch of guys who would snap them up. That $34k car is the cheapest, shittiest registered Z I can currently find. My car is not even in the same ballpark Dalai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
