Inspection Checklist?

[gema]

About to sell my '02 Sentra and make my '72 my daily driver. I want to amass a list of all items/functions/systems to check and test before getting rid of my Warranty, er, car, and migrating to my Z. So, zedheads...what should I check? Generalizing a bit is fine (I.e. Suspension instead of Right front thisandthat, left shock, with the exception of notoriously failing parts). Hope to get it inspected within the next week or so. Thanks in advance!

My list so far:

Clutch

Shifter

Brakes

Steering

Lights

Exhaust

Differential

Starting system

Charging system

Lock mechanisms

Wheels/Tires

I'd add:

Coolant system (including water pump)

U-joints

Fuel pump

Fuel filter

Nice site TomoHawk! The "tools needed & diagnostic tools" section is handy. Good tip!!!

That 240z restoration "checklist" seems fairly comprehensive. On the other hand, it is just a checklist, specifying OK/repair/replace for most things which is subjective, and it even refers to restoring a couple things according to the book, "Restoring Your Datsun Z Car" by Wick humble!

It's still a checklist and leaves a lot open, so between that and the one from hammondsplains.com, I think you can do a fair job of "restoration." I only plan on using it as a checklist of things to do to make the cart better & safer to drive.
