Greetings, folks. I've been subscribed to this forum for a while as I look for an early Z to restore, and now I need some advice. My wife and I would prefer to restore a 240, but I've come across a early (smaller bumper) 260 that seems like a viable candidate. Some background - this will not be my first major restoration. One of my previous projects was a ground-up on a '67 MGB, so I'm quite familiar with rust and SUs. But I know my limits, I'm a much better mechanic and upholstery person than I am a body and paint man. So I have to pay others to do my body and paint work. This means that I generally try to buy projects that have bodies that are as solid and straight as p…

Now, I'm no business man. As a matter of fact, Mostly I put my ventures out of business quite well. But, in my take of business ethos, if your customer hangs up in disgust after 20 minutes on hold, instead of giving you money, that would be a bad thing. Am I too old fashion for modern retail method?

I saw that MSA had an A/C kit for 240Z's. My Z never had a/c. anyone have any feed back on this kit? is it hard to install??.. I've been thinking of doing an engine swap in the near future, and would like a/c. thought when I do the swap I can just adapt this kit to the compressor that comes with whatever engine I put in... looking for any comments on this... -dave

Hey, I'm in the process of shopping around for an exhaust system, and tips to top it all off. I like stright cut, rolled edge tips, but the only ones that fit 2.25 inch tubing have an outlet of a very "rice" evoking 4 inches. Maybe I'm wrong and it looks fine? not too big for a Z? Let me know what you guys think. You like non-rolled edge tips? Let me know. I'm open to suggestions.

I know there are a few central floridians on this board -- can anyone recommend a mechanic? My car (finally) got here today, my tools and stuff wont be settled for a bit, plus things are hectic right now, so I'd like to take it to someone for an oil change and a tune up -- I am in Winter Springs, but will travel a bit for the right mechanic =) any suggestions? Thanks!

I wanted the classic Z look, searched and searched. There it was parked in the backyard driveway of this old guys house, his as described weekend car. I have a 90 300zx already, but it was spoiling me, I wanted no a/c, no p/s, you know something fun to drive on a backroad on a sunny California day roll down the window. She's a 75 280z 4sp. original engine 109k on it, fired up on the 1st crank, im satisfied. Enjoy the pics.
