To buy or not to buy...that is the question

Got the POR-15 finished last Tuesday. Undercoating sprayed on Thursday. Most of the fuel and brake lines on Saturday and front suspension put in yesterday.  Moving right along here.  Hope to have rear suspension in on Tuesday.  E-brake and smaller lines in on Thursday.  Then complete engine and drive train installed this coming weekend.  The more I get on the car, the more it opens up space in the garage.   Here's a few pics.

Got the rear suspension in last night.  Looking forward to getting the drive train in this weekend.

Moving along well here.   Got the motor and complete drive-line installed.  Added some more brake components and a few engine bay parts.  Planning on putting in the exhaust and intake manifold assembly tonight.  Might even get to install the carbs.

Got the manifolds and heat shield on.  Started attaching the carbs and balance tube items.

Excellent progress!

Thanks!  Got the engine harness tabs painted and engine harness installed.  Also painted front of radiator support the hood hinge tension rods.  Started installing glass.  My son stopped by to wash his 350Z, so it was nice to have a bit of company while doing the assembly.  Here are the latest pics.

Thank you for all the pics and showing your progress on this 240Z. Looking foward to see more pics as you continue with this restoration.

Made a little more progress.  Waiting now for a new headliner and vintage dash.  Looks like it will be several weeks before those come in.  Still plenty to do while I wait.

Still a lot of work and detail to do.  unfortunately, I need to paint all the pretty gold fender bolts.  Also need to get the air cleaner powedercoated and a number of other things.  Hoping to have this up and running in a month or so.  Perhaps have it ready for JCCS if the show is on.
