What do you think a fair price for one is? Do you have the half shafts already?

Sounds like a good plan

Sounds like lots of rotted rubber, be careful, you could start a fire...

It's a rust bucket from the looks of it but will probably go cheap. Maybe one of you guys in PA or somewhere close would have an interest. It would cost me too much to ship it to justify bringing it home, but the interior looks good, the bumpers look good too if they're not rusted out

So it looks like you get 7 pallets or so of fittings, how many completed units does that make? By the way I love these products. Hopefully we can do business one day, after the car is back down on it's wheels...

It boggles my mind what people think used parts are worth. I get lowballers all the time. I wouldn't unbolt it for what some people offer...

And you didn't post a how to???

I think Grannyknot posted that in another thread without the picture. The car took a major shot. It could be fixed but would be a lot of work because it got so far into the rear floor, rear suspension mount is probably damaged too. It's a shame but these cars aren't worth enough yet to save it. When they become valuable enough to save it, parts availability will become the new issue...

What's that about 1,000 Euro's for the whole exhaust?

Hate that. Looks really soft, should probably check them all

I understand being short on time but even so I generally have more time than money. Not true for everyone though...

These are the only two used hoods I found on ebay One is $400 ($240+160) shipped one is $560 ($400 + 160) shipped. I would think $200-250 is a very fair price for a clean non rusty hood. I know where a half dozen salvage cars are near me but I doubt there are any serviceable hoods. They are just not that easy to find without rust along the front lip. I have an aftermarket one I bought years ago but it doesn't fit as well as the original... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240Z-260Z-Hood-70-74-/152366280842?hash=item2379bcf08a:g:GcEAAOSwux5YXDjQ&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240z-non-vented-hood-/252712750851?hash=item3ad6da8f03:g:UdoAAOSwUKxYb9nl&vxp=mtr There is just one in the sold listings $300 BIN w/ $40 for shipping which is impossibly cheap!

JeffG told you how to bypass the metal fuel rail a long time back. He is a Ford engineer and races cars, maybe you should take his advice...

If you are stubbornly going to try to keep the "vintage look" then get use to fluctuating idle rpm's

Hadn't thought of mounting tape. But what if they're not at exactly the right angle?????

looking good but you're gonna need some more holes in that hatch for the emblems...

Shiro's are actually pretty rare cars. They are also unusual in they have the viscous limited slip rear differential. However if you buy a Shiro rear end be sure and get the half shafts as they are unique to this car...

Do you buy good gasoline? Could there be water in the tank? Do you buy fuel at a busy gas station? The busier the station the more they change their inventory and the less water they will have in their fuel...

Where in Simpsonville? If you need help or parts I'm in Spartanburg...

It is probably not unless someone swapped it. If you jack the rear of the car up and turn one wheel, if the other rear wheel turns in the same direction = LSD if it turns in the opposite direction = open diff

That's an interesting picture because the tracks go under the car not up to the back of the large tire. So I assume the large white wall was set there to stage the picture...It looks like "Eddie Munsters" first car

My homemade rotisserie is about 15' long, with about 16" at the rear of the car and 12" at the front. I wouldn't think most wouldn't be a ton longer than this 16-17' max

Congratulations! Stay in touch...

Yes, probably. As I get older I don't heal as well or as fast so I have become more cautious with these sort of things
