Just to clarify we're actually talking about tie-down hooks here. They were used to secure the cars on ships. On the front of the car is a solid ring that would be more appropriate for towing.

True, but they come from the other direction. The ignition wires come from the harness after it crosses under the radiator. The wires for the washer pump and brake warning light come across the firewall.

Sorry to be so pointed but, after reading a number of your posts I suggest you take your car to someone who knows how to work on it!!! Or, if this is like your condensation problem you already know what to do! Right? Tom

Only 1.6 or 1.8 but an Sr20 would fit in there Mikey he he he Very very rare now, but still not worth too much really. I think they're very cool.

Yesterday, I was 'off the scale' and now I'm an 'unknown quantity at this point'?

It seems as though he was trying to be helpful. Sometimes the date can go unseen, even though the intent was good. AND, maybe the starter of the thread still needs this information. Also, it doesn't seem as though he has a question, so you can rest a little easier tonight without straining anything vital.

Hi Bob: Maybe the seller didn't lie. Could be he was simply using a different context in making his remarks, as opposed to the context in which you took it. Rare - well compared to the number of Red Mustangs sold in 1970... A Safari Gold 240-Z was a rare color. Rare - true, go to a Z Car Show and Safari Gold Z's aren't really all that common today... all to many have been repainted Red or Silver... In the context of the color mix of 240-Z's received by the Dealers in 1970 - Safari Gold was among, if not the, most common color. The thing is - when people see a "mustard" colored 240-Z with it's 30 year old, badly faded paint they go ... uck... In turn they don't repaint the car that mustard color... On the other hand when they see a fully restored Safari Gold car at a car show - with it's bright and shinny Safari Gold color - they usually like it a lot. Looks "Period Correct"... When people make very general statements... like "its a rare color"... you always have to ask them for further elaboration on that statement. Just a thought.... FWIW, Carl B.

Depends on the level of quality you want out of it. Some cut-rate shops can probably do it for around $300, but you probably have to mask everything yourself, and they probably won't paint anything but the surface without opening the doors or hatch. And that price is probably just a cover coat with no prep work or clearcoat. Your best bet is to ask around at local paintshops and collision centers. I'd figure on budgeting at least a grand if you want a paint job that's worth doing.

Last time i got a can of paint made for me it cost $100 for 10L but it was concentrated so with some thinner i turned it into 1000L its a lot more than you need for one car

lather, rinse, repeat. i wonder about my rear sway bar. i know the PO before my PO did a lot of work to the car. i'm going to have to check it out and see what sway bar it is.
