Diseazd Posted April 15, 2007 Share #1 Posted April 15, 2007 This thread will be dedicated to the restoration of my fathers 71 240z. He bought the car last month, but we have been trying to buy this very car for 13 years. It has been sitting un-driven since 1979. I take a lot of pix, so by the end of this I am sure there will be hundreds of photos if not thousands. We are attempting to replace as many bolts as possible as well as removing all undercarriage components, blasting and or cleaning and reassembling with new components or at least painting the old with semi gloss black Poly-urethane through a detail gun. The interior is almost perfect except for the seats which will be re-upholstered. 1 very small crack in the dash. The console, heater control panel, diamond vinyl, headliner etc are like new. We are starting under the car first. The paint is a dark olive green which is as close as the original factory rust prevention spray color as we could get.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460289856/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/177/460289856_a4b850a3cd_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0826" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460289884/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/187/460289884_fdbf4bf7d5_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0827" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460289886/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/218/460289886_78ce5e3679_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0830" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460289888/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/226/460289888_1055c33c68_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0858" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460289902/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/216/460289902_9a69f9cb7c_o.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="IMG_0886" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460289936/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/190/460289936_bbc7e7a2ce_o.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="IMG_0889" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460301181/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/198/460301181_262b700d6d_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_1058" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460301191/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/223/460301191_eb78c1521e_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_1059" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460301195/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/243/460301195_6b9c60df2f_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_1060" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460301197/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/246/460301197_690ac801e0_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_1063" /></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblake01 Posted April 15, 2007 Share #5 Posted April 15, 2007 This thread will be dedicated to the restoration of my fathers 71 240z............I am sure there will be hundreds of photos if not thousands. Nice work but you really should consider putting this info in a journal since a thread with 'hundreds or thousands of photos would be somewhat tedious.
