Out of hibernation! Needs a wash, some interior work, tires, etc. The list goes on...

Super happy with the braking performance! #somethinglurks

Test fit of rear rotors. More pics to come. Will be looking in to proportioning valve. Hoping it all works!

The brake refresh continues...

Out of hibernation, step son slightly alarmed with all the 'whooshing'. Guess you cant please everybody!

Still socially distanced...still getting stopped at gas stations.🤩

Taking social distancing very seriously......?

Socially distanced,

In an ongoing effort to improve the brakes, had a heat shield and 280ZX brake booster installed a couple nights ago. Massive improvement! Pedal feels effortless now with no 'Flintstones style' braking attempts. Got a feeling the rotors are a little warped, so will be taking a look at those next. ?

Out of hibernation, still kicking down the road. Dash is cracking up, but no biggie, ?

Made good use of the weather with a run up to Ramona. Miles and smiles.

Not mine, nor affiliated, but for the money.... https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/cto/d/la-puente-1971-datsun-240z-series/6842222293.html

Let the sanding begin! Need new seals all round. Taillight, door, hood, etc. Kit recommendations?

Its been awhile, however the refreshtoration continues! The PO had jammed a lot of bondo in the back end of the dog legs, so new panels were in order on both sides. Also new spindles, bushings, paint and seals for the glass. More pics coming shortly. :)

Thanks W3! She made it out of hibernation today for a beer run. Cool weather = Easy driving ?

I ended up using some Chrysler minivan door seals instead, which are a terrific fit! First wash in awhile! The progress continues. ?

Rubber'n it up with some new door seals. For whatever reason the passenger side is in worse shape than the drivers side. Hoping these do the trick.

Not mine, nor affiliated. Strictly for the benefit of the group! -Car number 795 has a little rust but runs and drives https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/d/1970-datsun-240z-series-1-low/6714000848.html

New valve cover gasket installed, then a run to Karl Strauss. A good Saturday!

Trying life with one of my vented hoods. Hoping to keep the engine temp a little cooler in traffic, etc.

She made it out to her first mini car show last Sunday! Felt great to see others appreciating the car.

Lots of small projects on the horizon. Going to start digging around for some door seals to help the doors close a little better. Passenger seat belt receiver also needs some love. Things are coming along. (: 20180414_103325.mp4

Its been a four year journey, but the red devil is running and driving under her own steam!! Can't recall the tb type, came out of my parts stash and had lots of work done to make it work. Car hasn't been registered since 1989 so am pretty proud to be the one to put the car back on the road. Still lots of work to do (: Will get video clip posted shortly.

Custom intake made at the shop. Running MS2 for engine management that we pulled from my 240 running the turbo setup. Saves a bunch of time because all the MS wiring is all setup. Hoping to set the ECU inside the glove box so it doesn't get kicked in the foot well.... See how we go.
