[Zenioric]

Thanks alot! I will go find the VIN code today.

@ Carl: great books i will order them.

Hello Bart!

And greetings from Finland. Good luck with your project!

Keep your Zed RED - which is the colour of my 240Z -72, too.

You can also buy Z-books from UK.

Thanks everybody for the comments!

I'm still not sure about the colour it will be, red / eleanor grey/ black? I don't know.. It's all nice.. But brighter colours let's you see more of the cars details, that's a fact.

I'm going to my work, to get a sheet metal now of 1mm thickness as original. So in the weekend, i can start working on the floors.

Bye.

Today i reconstructed the corner passenger side. Finishing touch still has to come;)

Are you going to get rid of the sunroof?

I personally think they look better without them. But that's just all personal.

Great build.

I think you are right that it looks better without it, but i will keep it on.. it doesn't look that bad.

No worry, i started the same way! :paranoid:

[Bart Hoedemaker]

New update will be soon, the new floor on passenger side is already in!

Will be working on the other side this weekend.

Holy $^!#, i had to cut away the entire corner passengerside including battery part and piece of engine bay underside it was al rotten. That's alot of sheet metal work dammit.

Did they really put the flat top U.S. specification carbs and the 5 MPH bumpers on the cars that went to Europe?

Hi Walter:

I don't know for sure - but Bart's 240Z was sent to the Netherlands from Arizona.

FWIW,

Carl B.
