Hey.. I live west of Denver by 30 miles... Near Nederland.... The kids (16 to 18) are building snow jumps of the side of the driveway at the moment... we have drifts 5 to 7 feet tall. The wind has benn a bit nuts in the last few days. Hope to have the 240Z back from the body shop in April. Jay

My 72 240 was almost as bad... I hope t0 have her back on the rad this spring.... sic

Painting the grill brown shore screws up the pictures of the front. Jay aka zdisease

April will be one year for my 72Z

You go me laughing on this one... I ran a 1941 Power Wagon for a snow plow for a lot of years. During the summer this beast would just rest down by the creek. One fall I climbed into the beast and it stunk bad. Opened the hood... A golden Mantled Marmot had decided the top of the flathead was home and died there. I got the truck running but the smell of dead animal was over powering me even though I had no door windows or floor. FIX: I got a case of tomato juice and a bunch of tomato paste. Mixed up the batch.... Warmed up the powerwagon. Shut down the beast and dumped the mixture over the top of the flat head... I let it sit for a couple of week. Power washed the engine for the first time ever.... From then on the powerwagon smelled like pizza when it was at operating temp. Kinda strange but much better that rotten marmot.

Man.... Your are a real resource. Were you a engine rebuilder ? Jay

I am pretty sure my truck says grrrr and spits on the ground when I plowing too much snow.....

If you go the restoration route make sure both supply lines still work when you get it back. I "assumed" my tank was correct.... drove me nuts.. deinstalled tank again only to find the gas supply line was sealed closed inside the tank. Aircraft paint remover carefully applied fixed my tank.

What do the plugs look like ? Are the front cylinders black ? zdisease

My very mangled valence off the 240z is original... It has a lip that is about and inche deep.

I need a Center Valence for my 1972 240Z as well.

Too much light can be a bad thing too. My Replay Sirius receiver is ok in the day but way distracting at night. Jay AKA zdisease

I am interested in the headlight cowls if they are metal. Jay

How about a 5 Speed Transmission for my 72 240 (82 Z maybe) ?

I emailed the body shop that's working on my 72 240Z today. I was wondering if April 2007 was too optomistic for completion (one year). To my delight I got back a reply.... "We are working on it right now, expected completion in January"

I didn't want to drop the tank in my 240..... When I finally got around to it it was easier than I thought...

Sounds like me in the 71 GTX..440 back in the day.

Based on too much experience my inspection would have the following steps: 1. Rear wheel arches 2. Rocker panel under the Door - dog leg near rear wheel to base of front fender 3. Bottom of doors 4. Floor pan where you feet go + behind seat 5. under car... floor pan + frame rail 6. Battery pan 7. Inside the front wheel wells along the frame rail 8. Rear hatch Jay

Did this problem exist before the ditributor was replaced ?

I am restoring a 1972 240Z. What is the best advice on Seat upgrades ? I am looking for sport seats that are confortable for long hauls. 3 point harness is the plan. Thanks, Jay :bandit:

The "Real" question: Is it possible to own a 240Z and not wrench on it ? signed... Too much time in the garage
