Countdown continues. I'm still waiting for struts. Not ideal. I need to get more miles on this thing to see what else falls off before I drive 1000 miles!!!

What are you getting?

Nothing special. Just KYB gas.

The really silly part is that I HAVE a set of KYB's here already. The plan for them was to put them on my 77 280 as part of a project I have planned for that car. But since I was working on this 240 and running out of time, I figured I would use those KYBs on the 240 and then buy another new pair when I was ready to move forward with the 280 work.

So.......... I tear the 240 apart. Break one strut down and get the old cartridge out of it. Open the KYB box I have here, and.........

There inside the KYB box is a note. In my own handwriting. I sent the small gland nuts to another Z guy some couple of years ago because I wasn't going to be using them.

I need the big ones for the 280 and I didn't own a 240 at the time. The small gland nuts were surplus to me and someone else needed a pair. So I sent them away.

Aaaaaaarrrrrghh!!!!!

No good deed... ☹️
