I wouldn't use plumbers putty! I would use a sealant of some kind. If it's in a caulk tube you can put a short piece of fuel line on the end of the caulk tube so you can get the material in place.

I didn't realize she didn't have the factory housing. I must have missed that somewhere. The auction claims it was running when pulled, but you're right who knows

One on Ebay with the expansion valve $100 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-75-76-77-78-Datsun-260z-280z-AC-EVAPORATOR-CORE-with-EXPANSION-VALVE-/322233826030?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

Hoorah!!!

He was 83...

Diesels do not use manifold vacuum. My F250 uses the power steering fluid and a hydraulic booster for that reason...
-
Are you making these or do you just have this one set?
-
I am suspect the changes in vacuum caused by braking makes the tuning and emissions more difficult, but just guessing
-
I wouldn't think 2+2's will ever reach any where near the values of the coupes. The 2+2's are rarer because they didn't sell as well...
-
That's a good bit for basically 2 project cars but if I were closer I would give them a look. He does have 3 titles though...
-
Were you going to add the chrome strips later? I thought they were mounted before assembling the light. That's a good repair technique by the way
-
The hatch itself doesn't look good at second glance, bubbles all down the passenger side along the glass. Front clip...picture #8 is a look inside the front passenger wheel well. That is a hole on the entire outer side of the front frame rail, not so good... If I had to guess the car was stored outside and in the grass or field somewhere. When I see cars like this that is usually how it happened
-
It's a time issue. Frame rails are toast! Floor boards, some rocker work, battery area, inner fenders and quarters...I am getting older and just can't see investing that kind of time into this chassis. I would think on it longer if it was a much lower number car. It is really a much better donor for more viable projects. I would like to save them all, but this one just needs too much. I appreciate the offer. I will keep my eyes open for a better candidate...

@Mark Maras I thought about you. I considered fixing it for about 10 seconds and I was like Mark has the rear quarters I would need...I am just trying to keep up with your collection...
-
10k is better. It would have to be super clean for that. 2+2's don't normally carry the value and ditto for 260's

@Demo1986 Is this car on craigslist asking $16k? If it is, then I would say that's too much money for a 260z 2+2. I might be wrong, maybe some of these other guys might chime in....
-
Duhh! I couldn't solve the acronym, sort of shot from yesterday...
-
With that size business I am sure they have a lot of over head. It wouldn't take a huge drop in customers to drive them out of business...
-
I know some one posted this up in a thread a while back but I can't find it. Went and got it yesterday. 20+ hours round trip I am thinking parts car at this point. Not a special year and lots of rust
-
WCR?
-
I wonder if they are still owned by the original guy? Also 150,000 cars a year through a body shop is huge. If you don't have good employees and good management you are gonna have problems!
