hello my friends I have some progress, I told you that this is a very slow project because of lack of time and limited funds so, the frame rails, wheel well and passenger floor is fixed and I just removed the dash, mainly to clean the backspace and through the air ventilation. I also want to fix the dash, after reading the helpful topics in this forum It has a dash cap right now but I want to remove it and do the job right here are some photos of my Z

I prefer the black ones on your car!!! and what a car...

Big mistake hahaha I hope your wife / girlfriend wasn't with you when you did this

Ooops

For some reason my post with the wheeler dealers 240z video disappeared... did I break any rule or sth?

well, if you change your mind and go for poly... read the following links first... you will save time when you want to lube them when they start to squeak http://rallyways.com/specialty/part-2-powerflex-poly-bushings-miata-installation/ http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.php?t=20836

really great condition for barn find car...

I had a similar problem but my gas pedal was rough to press either when the car was running or not...But yes, it was even worse while I was on the road... I was advised to change the wire and put a steel wire... so, I found that the piano (yes piano ) wire is ideal and I used this and problem is solved There are different sizes though, don't buy too thick cause it will not bend and it will be more difficult than it is now... I am sorry but I can't remember how thick is the wire I used but just choose a thin one... anyway, this is the solution I found to my problem, maybe there is something else causing you problem

Welcome to the forum Nice cars you have there

Very beautiful and clean Z!!! I am so jealous right now Welcome to the forum

I saw yesterday a white 240z in Annabelle movie 2014... 35:22 A nice surprise

Ok, this is interesting...the only way my car starts is with starting fluid... I thought the carbs needed rebuilt... I should check fuel lines or fuel pressure now...

Seems like a Holden shift knob with a Datsun lion/griffin decal...or just a universal aluminum shift knob with provision for decal...

it's not that I have a list now for parts I want but from time to time I will need something... for example, right now I am ordering a felpro full gasket set, ngk spark plugs and ngk spark plug wires... My local nissan dealers have never seen 240z gaskets... the datsun z and zx series were not popular here... don't know why... I know now that there are only other 3 (including mine) 240z in Greece and one 280z which is abandoned and bad shape... there is also a 2+2 280zx in a junkyard... so buying second parts in Greece is not something I can do... I have this 280zx engine (from the junkyard) in mind though but still I will need parts to rebuilt it I found the ngk spark plugs here in Greece but the price is much higher than U.S. Later I will need parts to rebuilt my engine, suspension parts... The car is running fine though but in my future plans there is a engine rebuilt and the cheapest way is buying parts from U.S. I just need to know if I am right on this... that buying from U.S. is the cheapest way... because that is my conclusion so far...

Hello to all Z-friends I live in Athens, Greece and I have a 1973 240z which I bought 6 months ago from U.S. Even though the car is complete, well, needs some work but it is complete...I find myself looking to buy various parts from U.S. either because I can't find them in Greece or simply because the prices are much lower even with shipping costs... I would like to ask where Z-friends in Europe find parts... Ok, of course I know about ebay... But other stores or z-experts in Europe? Thank you in advance... And I'll thank you more later

Good idea about opening a new threat but I am not very optipistic to find good deals in Europe... I hope I am wrong about this... New threat now opens in the Europe section I know the Rockauto store, great prices there Thanks

OK... I will not cancel my order but next time I will ask here first Thanks Blue

hello my Z-friends I emailed advanceautoparts.com about the ngk spark plugs I want (BPR6ES-11) but they are not made in Japan...they are made in U.S. I have seen somewhere an advice not to buy the made in France ngk... what about those made in U.S.? Anyway, I ordered spark plugs made in Japan that I found in Greece but they are expensive... €3,44 per item...which is $4.22 per item... double the price than advanceautoparts.com sells them... I want to order now the NE61 spark plugs wires... should I look again the ones made in Japan or it isn't necessary? Advanceautoparts.com sells them for only $30... should I buy from there or not? I guess these are also made in U.S.

Nice and clean ok... I don't hate you but I am jealous My time will come I'll be back... hahaha I have a long road ahead of me though...

I like that they keep them safe from scratches... on the carpet nice shining things you've got there

Funny thing...in the pic2 like siteunseen said... There is a happy face to the left and a heart in the middle Nice paintjob can't wait to see your car ready I only can imagine how you feel you can't sleep at night right?
