The 280z radiator is bigger if I remember correctly. You will need to make your new rails match the shape of the old rails

Pretty! Oh so shiny...

Jai, Miracles are good...

Piece of 4" PVC?

How did he make the curved upturned edges? Metal shrinker?

Happy Thanksgiving Jai I am glad you are still having fun in your car I am thankful for my family, all good, all healthy and plenty of work for my business C

I would think that is a typo, $14k maybe???

A twin turbo 300zx is a really challenging car to work on. Really packed in there....

Thanks

Yes, you did great!

The tubes on the exhaust manifold are for the smog pump. They can be deleted as long as you don't have to pass "smog". Sometimes they can be threaded out and a brass plug threaded in but sometimes they won't come out. I have actually filled some like that with JB Weld and that worked fine. The rusty exhaust manifold would clean up with bead blasting. I like the mechanical fuel pump, keep it if you can. There is a thread on here somewhere that tells you how to rebuild a mechanical fuel pump.

How are you knocking the welds down? Flapper disc? How did you remove soot? Buffing wheel?

The dash looks good. What products did you use?

I would love to have an early to mid 80's 911. One of the best handling cars I have even driven, if you can avoid the "snappy" rear end. Those cars are quickly becoming unaffordable, but the real deal killer was the $900+ clutch kits, etc, etc. The parts to keep a Porsche running are just silly expensive, and if you can't do the work yourself add $90+ an hour for labor. If you keep looking you can find a nice Z car for the money you are willing to spend. I agree you should enlist help from the forum if possible to check out cars that are not local to you...but if you find a good deal (verify) don't hesitate it won't last

Love it! Cody does too but it exceeds our piggy bank funds. Really cool rare Datsun

2nd Fedhill! You can rent their flairing tool too if you can't justify purchasing one...

I would add Charlie Osbourne to that list, for floor boards

Fuel pump, correct fuel tank, fuel lines, lots of little details....

Pretty pistons, forged?

That could make a very lively Xmas morning? Pictures or it didn't happen...

No it's not...

$414 isn't bad but which head is that?

I bought an SU manifold for our 510 from Japan. Will try to source some SU's later. Need the smaller ones. Need to get the front end put back together so he can drive it some...

Hard to make an L28 fit. Doable but takes a lot of firewall work...

Those would at least look period correct, even if the shape is not exactly the same
