Nice job on the '77. It looks great! There is a guy in Arizona that might be interested in the 240. His user name is Flamenco and he posted earlier today with the title Newbie 240Z Wannabe.

Wow, it's gonna be a monster. Hopefully you bulked up the frame a bit, that much torque will give the body a good twist, and that's beyond a pain in the a$$ to fix.
Looking forward to hearing more about it.

I will do coilover next and change wheels,I am now working on the adjustable rear arms.The interior needs to be done and it should turn out very nice too.I plan on having a great audio system and in a future thinking of adding some sort of boost,I'm considering magana charger or procharger, whatever fits best. |

That was his last post, 08-18-2006, so I rather doubt he'll receive your compliment. But I'll tell you what, since I now own a 2005 GTO and I know how it runs, that Z would be hella-fast since it's much lighter than a GTO!

I'll second that.
You know, now that I think about it I haven't seen a running Fiesta in nearly 20 years... That would be considered a "special" collectible.

That's a Festiva. I used to autocross with a guy who ran a Fiesta. It was made by the German arm of Ford if I recall. Pretty cool little car when stripped out and made a race only machine. His was painted beige just to complete the "crappy econobox just blew your doors off" look. We did go to a track day once and I passed him on the front straight. He was going so slow I thought his car was broken. It hauled ass at the autox though...
