Did you replace the screens in the banjo bolts after rebuilding? They are important...

Don't know if this is posted somewhere here already or not. 8k 5 days left http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-datsun-240z-18/

There is fuel in the rear float bowl? Verify visually. If there is fuel in the float bowl then there is a blockage somewhere. Bowl outlet, connector hose or the base of the jet tube...

I agree, I tend to splurge on good materials because the labor is free and I don't have a lot of spare time. I am glad the fiberglass is working out...

Would love to see pictures of why it was salvaged but otherwise not too scared. I have owned several Z's that should have been salvage title but weren't for whatever reason..

^^^ I agree

Are you using hook & look or adhesive blocks? I have been using the 3M hook & loop purple rolls for abrasives. They are a little expensive but cut really nice and don't foul too much

Responsibility is highly over rated!

Unreal!!! Wouldn't have thought that high

I believe you are asking about the factory parts for the front valence. There are three parts and getting harder to find...

These cars can be a problem as a daily driver if you don't have an alternate for just that reason. Cutting corners on the links can burn your car down in the long run! The local parts store doesn't carry much for 40 year old Z's. If you need the parts fast pay for the faster shipping...

Very good. that should work. By the way thanks for your service!!!!

@P the Z Be very careful blasting the car yourself. It is very easy to ruin these cars if you aren't careful! The metal is exceedingly thin in some areas. You can also cause work hardening or oil canning if you over heat the metal. You need a large compressor to do this right and a lot of media! Also you should be wearing a respirator!!! The dust can cause silicosis much less the nasty stuff you are blasting off in the paint

That's a pretty car for $14k

I think $125 is a really fair price...

Yes, Those numbers don't seem out of whack. It's a lot of work to do it right and then cut and buff...

20k! 5 days to go

You also have a "Recirc heat" setting that CO doesn't have

What kind of cost to paint a car like this?

Looks like a nice clean desert car. Will be interesting to see how high that goes

All things considered, I would say he is lucky to be alive. Especially from the looks of the car

Got beer? Hate I couldn't make Toronto and catch up with the Canucks(?) then...

Wow!

What did you turn?

@wheee! Download the p-sheets. It is a hybrid material. No isocynates so it should be a little safer. Be sure you have the correct reducer and don't shoot onto surfaces colder than 50 F
