That is a really nice survivor!! Love the color too.

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful car. Nice job on both counts!!

Yes it is. I knew Don back in the day when he was featured in a magazine article following his racing career. I believe he was a member of this site back then as well.

I think that car belongs to a guy I used to work with many years ago. He was a racer and lived in the Rockford area.

I know pricing on these cars has changed a lot of over the last 2-3 years or so, but $8K sounds like a lot for a car with that much rust. If it was driven for 8 years before being taken off the road, that could be 158K on it. He mentioned that he picked it up a year ago, so it is really a 2 owner car. I did a rusty Z once. I am not sure I want to do it again, unless I got an unbelievable deal on it.

That is a couple of hours away from me. We don't see many 240Z's for sale around here. For all you bodywork guys, how bad does that rust look to you? Are the quarter repair panels even available anymore? How about the rocker and dogleg panels? I actually have a rocker replacement panel on the shelf. I don't do bodywork myself, so I would have to hire that out and a paint job. But hey, for the price of a dresser, it might be worth it!

Those fixtures should light it up pretty well, and you have natural light from the windows too. I have 24 fixtures at 3810 lumens each. My wife said' "what, do you want it bright enough for surgery in there?" I said "Exactly!!!" I don't think you can go too bright. I have my lights on 3 zones, so I can turn some of them off if I want to. Mine is about perfect.

Looks like it is moving along nicely. What kind of lighting are you putting in?

I believe I found them on Ebay, but that was many years ago.

I have had 2 cars with the series 1 transmissions. You can replace the rubber shifter bushing with an aluminum or delrin bushing and it takes the slop right out of it.

Ok, the suspense is killing me. What kind of power did you get? It sounds really good.

It certainly is in great shape. I remember the Levis interior from back in the day.

Welcome Tom. That is a really nice Z, in one of the best colors. I am a little partial since my car started life in 903 blue, with a blue interior. That is an impressive collection you have there. The one that intrigues me is the Gremlin. There must be a story behind that one. Marty

Looks like you are making good progress. You are doing a lot of the right stuff. High ceilings are a must have.

Thanks. Old #74 is a real hoot to drive at the track. It is hiding a Coyote motor, built to Illumintor specs.
