Here's a pic evolution of my '73 240z. Had it since 2012. Originally green, a recent paint and body has it looking great again. Check out the day I brought it home.

Some steel wheel orignals and a hood that fits...

Another wheel upgrade and as clean as I could get it.

Back in the garage with no dents, fresh paint, all chrome blacked out and some plastidip on the wheels.

Still a lot more to do on the inside, brakes and engine. Very cool to be able to bring this one back to life.

Just a few months lag in the reply....anyway

Looks great, can you tell me about your wheels and tires?

Wheels are a Rota RB in 15 x 7. They were originally in silver and I plastidippped them black. Tires are Kenda Kinnetica 215/60/15. Cheapo stuff that looks ok.

Fiero! :)

Just seems to keep getting hotter!

Love it! Where did you get the lower valance? I'm having a hard time finding a nice one like that.

Valence happend to come with the car upon purchase. Just not attached at the time.

Where did you get your paint/body work done?

Paint and body came from Budget Auto Paint in Chamblee, GA. Happened to be worked on by a tech who also had a Z. Made me think he had a vested interest and experience

That is a thing of pure beauty!

Big thanks guys!

Here's a fresh pic!

Best deal I could find for my 280.  here's the 240 one, http://www.jegs.com/i/Xenon/456/3124/10002/-1?CAWELAID=1710853592&CAGPSPN=pla&catargetid=230006180000850493&cadevice=c&gclid=CjwKEAjwotmoBRCc6LWd2ZnkuBYSJACyt2qusia8RT1uX50mNzbupnSjO3PDbNCoJKWO4TE5qmr4jhoCwHvw_wcB

I bought the one for my 74 from Jegs. I think it improved handling at speed, but that's just the butt dyno talking.
