End of an era for me.
Walters car showed back up at Copart after the sealed bid, then disappeared, then showed up again. It finally ran on Oct 4th. It was $4,100 in the prebid which was already too much for me. I didn't watch it run, but I wouldn't be surprised if it reached $4,500 for a sales price. It was a "Pure sale" car, so it sold for whatever the bid was - no reserve. I would have liked to have taken a shot at fixing it since I have pretty much everything I would need to do it, but it was not meant to be... With buyers fees about 20% plus freight from Indiana to South Carolina it was too much for me. I hope someone fixes it, for that kind of money I think someone will. Keep an eye on Ebay and Craigslist, I bet in 3 or 4 months it will show up somewhere... @Walter Moore Walter, Did you watch the auction by chance to see what it went for?

Outer Hatch Weather Strip
I have seen cars with shims and without and I have seen cars with a shim on only one side. If you have shims take note on where they are... Extra hands would definitely make it easier. I would not take the hinges off the car if I didn't have to. That is the adjustment point. Take the hatch off the hinges...

Free: Early 1974 260Z 4-Speed Transmission
They really don't have any real value, not worth shipping. Whoever wanted it would have to be local...

Hesitation after warm engine
The amount you thread them down is directly relative to the fuel level in the float bowls. Like Mark said if the float levels are low then the mixture nuts will need to be threaded down more or the float levels reset. I would screw them down 1/2 turn at a time and see if you can get it to act right. If you can, run it for a while and pull the plugs to check the mixture
