Found an interesting 240 but it has a salvage title. Current owner says he bought it this way and the previous owner said "theft" recovery". What do you all think? It's about $1k and runs but needs a little work. Looks ok though.

'72 240Z with much rust...

Hi all. I am new to the Z community, as I have just purchased a 1972 240Z that is quite the basket case. It is all original, but has much rust, and a blown head gasket. At least I got a good deal... $300 for the whole thing, and it would still run, and even idle!!! I have the head off now, and am getting it machined smooth. I plan on just getting it running for now, and then tweaking it later. I can't wait to learn how to tune and set the round top SU carbs!!! Here is a question. What type of welder should I get? I would like one that is 110V, if it could handle body welding, and perhaps some frame welding... 208/230V would be ok if that is what it takes. I hav…

Control arm bushings

I'm looking to replace all my worn bushings on my car and I was looking thru a catalog that had an option for urethane control arm bushings (no adjustment) or a camber bushing set (adjustment of 1 1/2 degrees). I'm wondering if the camber bushing set is worth the trouble over upgrading the basic bushing set. It seems the camber set is good for more adjustment and also bad because its another thing to adjust on the vehicle. How much does tire size play in this decision? I'm sure use of the vehicle comes into play as well. I'm not racing just looking to have fun on the weekends. I have a similar question regarding tension/compression rod kits the aluminum socket and an…

Vehicle Scrappage Program

This was sent to me by Summit Racing. This would be a terrable thing to happen. Your hobby is in danger! Proposed U.S. government legislation, U.S. Senate Bill S.1766, would allocate federal funds for state scrappage programs for vehicles more than 15 years old. In the process, it could threaten the very existence of our hobby by: *Destroying 1960s and 70s era musclecars *Scrapping 1980s performance vehicles like Mustangs, Camaros, and Corvettes *Eliminating many non-performance vehicles which provide an invaluable parts source Take a stand for your rights--and your hobby--by letting your U.S. Senator know how this bill will directly affect you.
