Hi, I'm not actualy a new user but I've only posted once and I've never introduced myself properly. I purchased a 1970 240z (vin HLS30-01996) about five months ago as a project car. I owned a 280Z about six years ago and always regreted getting rid of it. My plan is to eventually do a total restoration, but for now I just want something I can drive to work a couple of times a week. What I am hoping to get most out of this forum, is advise from people that have done a restoration and can help me avoid mistakes. I've taken lots of picures so far and plan to get a gallery going soon. When my restoration is done I would like to have a car that is fairly original, so I would really appreciate pictures of a good original car (inside and out). Oh, one last thing, I live in the sacramento area (rancho cordova)and was wondering if anyone knows a good Z mechanic or would I be better off joining ZONC and getting advise from More experieced z owners. Thanx Jeff

Joining ZONC is good advice, no matter if you find a good shop or not.

What is ZONC. Sorry if it is a dumb question

Z Owners of Northern California

Seriously you live in Rancho Cordova I used to live there but that was when I was younger. I know I'm changing the subject sorry.

dont have my gallery yet, but will you consider a 280Z with changed fornt bumper adn cancelled rear as original? if so i can make my on gallery thogh!

Ya, lived in rancho for about four years now, I drove as far away as Merced looking at Z's and the one I ended up buying was in rancho also.
