So I've been working in the shadows on the reanimation of an early 240Z. This is not so much a restoration, but more of a reanimation project. Reanimation of an lifeless vehicle with a focus on originality.

The OG 240Z:

This car hasn't been on the road for decades. Many decades. And in the end, he won't be pretty, but he'll be back on the road.

So let's start with the immediate... My intention is to drive this Z to the upcoming ZCON in Nashville and there are a couple things I need advice on before the trip:

First, I need to carry a fire extinguisher and I know nothing about them (other than they are supposed to put out fires). Anyone know the system and have a recommendation for which type would be best for automotive related incidents?

Second, I've got the original seat belts in the car, but they are the early non-adjustable style. I'd like to install something newer, safer, better, easier to use before the trip. I might swap the originals back in once I get there, but for almost 1000 miles on the road, I think I want newer technology. Is there an easy to drop in system for the 240Z cars?

ZCON or BUST!!!

I did these "Roadster" seatbelts in black from Wesco in my 12/70 car. I also needed the hardware accessory kit for the angle floor pieces. The retractor piece goes on the roof place where the stock shoulder strap attached. And I've been very happy with these!

I drive a 56 Beetle, it didn't come with seat belts. You just have to drive it like you're riding a motorcycle.
