Did some re-assembly prep work on my 240Z project. Waiting for a few small parts to begin installing brake lines and engine wiring harness. Drilled holes for the new, 260 Z master vac, and some other small stuff.

Pitle-farted around the house.

Did some wiring upgrades on the Z, added a couple more Stainless lines under the hood, about to swap alternators to a ZX one.

My wife and I attended the Hemings Car Show in Saratoga on Sunday. We got to meet a few other z owners there. This weekend it's off to Brookline MA for a japanese car and bike show.

After putting about 1,000 miles on the fresh (1980) overhaul I thought it was about time to change out the water (only) for some anti-freeze. Put some pink (orange-red) anti-freeze in and drove it about an hour. Popped the hood to lower the idle and noticed a pin hole leak in the radiator. Pulled the rad and drove it 33 miles to the radiator shop for repair. Hopefully I can go get it today. Glad it went out now and not on the way to the Midwest Z Fest in Tulsa later this month. Will be replacing the anti-freeze with the green stuff. Now if I can get the turn signals and horn working, I'm good to go.

Watched a ton of olympic events (Go USA!)

Also experienced some issues starting my 91' honda hatchback. It just wouldn't start, or would sputter and die if it did. I changed the spark plugs, no avail. I took apart the distributor and cleaned all the contacts, points, and the ignition coil... that did it.

Nothing more gratifying then fixing a problem yourself.

Drove the Z around town on Saturday and Sunday!

Instead of working on my '73 or driving my '71 I was sanding our deck Hopefully I can finish it up this weekend so I can get back to my Z's!
