First things first, (and Enrique said same), steering, brakes, and suspension FIRST, for safety reasons. If the car runs fairly sound, your priority should be the one that keeps you motivated... -If you're more inclined to do mechanical work on a car that you love the looks of, do cosmetic first. -Conversely, if you're more inclined to doll up a beast, then get busy on the mechanical side. If you keep that in mind, the odds are high that you won't quit on the project before you're done! ...my opinion. Good Luck!

more like a Mercury Montego in a carnival mirror. Just joking !

just wondering!

I can't believe it! A Z pic on the classic Z site!!! Now THIS is refreshing. I've been worried. -
Like the green... looks good. Plans? -
Mike, I wasn't aware (and really still don't know why) there would be any difference in the seal kits from the earliest 240's through 78 280's. The areas being sealed (windows, doors, etc) were identical on all early Z's....I thought. Perhaps some flanges or lips or something else that is not visible were changed.

My kit was mfg'd by (for?) Precision Replacement Parts; purchased from Classic Datsun Motorsports. I haven't installed yet, as my car is still pre-paint. If I recall, Les at Classic stated that the kits that are available now (whether his, VicBrit's, or Motorsports') all fit and seal quite well in the late 260's and 280's. 240's and early 260's require some extra effort with all of the kits that are currently available. FWIW

Very Nice... I love the paint. Your site looks great; it's scary seeing the parts list. What's the tally to-date???

I've seen that same scene about 20 times! -

I have that exact wheel (if the "hamburger" says "Nissan" and not "Datsun"). It came off of my 73 parts car. It's a GREAT feeling wheel. -
I didn't think you needed backspacing on MiniLites or Panasports... That's why I like them (a deeper look, unlike all the crap you see on racerboys' cars) -
Z drivers are known for their good taste... there probably IS one behind you -
The compressor is probably manufactured by Sanden, near Dallas. They're a big Tier 1 automotive supplier... Ford, Saturn, Mazda, Honda. (They use a shitpot load of our CNC drilling and tapping machines.) Just watching the thread, and had to chime in. I'm pulling for you Mushu! I need to do the same to my 4-wheeled convection oven.

Very nice ZX -
I must say that I like the shape of the hood, the windshield, the headlight buckets, and windshield wipers. -
you have a private message
-
You earn a 10 by virtue of the sparkle on the headlight bucket!! Well done! -
I confiscated what I could from it. Only good items left are front air dam and half-dash cover.
-
Are there more? Where'd you get it? -
What can I say? My wife loves cars... -

What are the handles behind the quarter window for? -
Les took care of you. They're perfect. -
Same wheels as in the B/W photo? (these look like 5-spoke, others look like 4-) I like these wheels... what type?
