240Z " the long way to new again"

[Bart Hoedemaker]

Is my car imported form Arizona you think? The owner from which i bought the car lived in the states and was not there in the Netherlands.

Here are some pics of the passenger floorside that ( reconstructed ) and the other still rotted one on driver side. And some other picture. The hatchplated was made a mess by the previous owner. He just welded some new plate over old rust holes. That's not the way..so that has to go off al the way.

I look at projects like yours and realize I have no right to complain about the little work I have to do with my body work. You must surely be motivated, I appreciate your dilgence. Keep up the hard work!

[Bart Hoedemaker]

Thank you.

It's a lot of work to be done..

New update will be soon, today i worked on the battery tray part. Made it a bit my own style so that a 74 amp battery will fit.

And... i got a automotive repair manual from haynes for 240,260 and 280z models.

Many thanks to the tip on this forum that lead me to this manual.

It's nice to see some other Europeans, restoring there Zeds, wouldn't it be nice if we could make a list of EU Zed owners.
