stock color. New paint of coarse. It is our favorite color on the Z. Now there are 5 in the garages. 70, 71, 72, 90, 93

Here are some pix from the historic races at VIR a few weeks ago.

Just as stated. Want to buy 16x7 panasports in silver painted. PM me for details

It is the 6.1 Canon EOS rebel SLR. I picked it up with a $500 lens for $400!!!!!! I wasn't even looking, but couldn't pass it up. The Z's are my pops. I just help post for him since he isn't super computer savvy. I am a BMW guy (and an avid photographer), but am also looking for a 510. The pans are 16x7 w. 225's.

I took some pics of my pops Z today. Taken in RAW with a Canon EOS rebel. I am working on a gallery. Here are a few in the mean time.

Here is a link to pix of the others. http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/sets/72157600346077563/

Added yet another to the stable. That makes 5 total.

This thread will be dedicated to the restoration of my fathers 71 240z. He bought the car last month, but we have been trying to buy this very car for 13 years. It has been sitting un-driven since 1979. I take a lot of pix, so by the end of this I am sure there will be hundreds of photos if not thousands. We are attempting to replace as many bolts as possible as well as removing all undercarriage components, blasting and or cleaning and reassembling with new components or at least painting the old with semi gloss black Poly-urethane through a detail gun. The interior is almost perfect except for the seats which will be re-upholstered. 1 very small crack in the dash. The console, heater control panel, diamond vinyl, headliner etc are like new. We are starting under the car first. The paint is a dark olive green which is as close as the original factory rust prevention spray color as we could get. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460289856/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/177/460289856_a4b850a3cd_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0826" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460289884/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/187/460289884_fdbf4bf7d5_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0827" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460289886/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/218/460289886_78ce5e3679_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0830" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460289888/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/226/460289888_1055c33c68_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0858" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460289902/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/216/460289902_9a69f9cb7c_o.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="IMG_0886" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460289936/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/190/460289936_bbc7e7a2ce_o.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="IMG_0889" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460301181/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/198/460301181_262b700d6d_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_1058" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460301191/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/223/460301191_eb78c1521e_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_1059" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460301195/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/243/460301195_6b9c60df2f_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_1060" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/460301197/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/246/460301197_690ac801e0_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_1063" /></a>

html is what it's called. I did a google search to learn how to do it a year or two ago. Now I use flickr photo uploading site that generates the code for you. Just copy and paste.

Does anyone know where we can get a new OEM gas tank?

Just an update, The rear subframe/suspension has started going back in. We are pulling everything in the engine bay/ crossmember and front suspension this weekend and will be updating pics. Does anyone know of a source for new metal brake lines for the bay?

I just ran across this. When my pops and I lowered his car and put it all back together, it sat up higher. Like a truck. We used Eiback Progressive rate springs and it turns out we had installed them upside down. With the Eibachs, the writing on the coil should be right side up. When we realized we screwed up and then flipped them, the ride was finally lower

Thanks. BTW, we are working on getting the Username to Diseazd. Waiting on moderator approval. The car will be silver, but will be painted right, removing all the interior except the dash. The car will never be sold, so original color won't be an issue. This 71 will be lowered an inch, and upgraded with 4 piston discs in the front and a disc conversion for the back in the future as well as sway bars. Any suggestion as far as bushings. My pops got all Urethane. We don't want it to be too stiff. The adjustabel shocks will be set on soft. 5 speed, and possibly power steering upgrades are planned as well. For the exterior, there will be 16" panasports like the green car and the sating grey BRE front spoiler to match the rear tailingt panel and front grill. Full engine rebuild with triple carbs and a mild cam.

Updated pics of the restoration We cleaned up the bottom after removing the rear assembly. Sand blasted all the suspension and drivetrain and painted them black with Urethane and some flatener to get a semi gloss finish. We then painted the floor boards and under carriage an army green to resemble the color of the factory rust prevention. Also Urethane. New Eiback springs and Tokico adjustables as well as all the rear assembly with new bolts will be reinstalled this week. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/451279958/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/228/451279958_80a3e4bc9e_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_1122" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/451279962/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/219/451279962_110edbfbe8_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_1189" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/451279970/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/236/451279970_46a15a1b1a_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_1191" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/451279986/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/209/451279986_01c90396a6_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_1221" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14049800@N00/451279988/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/176/451279988_1c3f185138_o.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_1222" /></a>

So nada eh??? The options so far are Eibach, Tokico, or susp. tech. springs. Definately want adjustable shocks and would like to lower the car 1-1.5". With that said, we would like to keep the ride as comforatable as possible. The Eibach and tokico no adjustables ride pretty stiff with the 16" panasports. Other than using a spring/strut setup, what coilovers are the best and most comforatble? The car will never be raced
