Datsun Z related New Years resolutions/goals

[Earthcruiser]

My resolution (ie the big one) is to get mine back on the road before the snow melts!

Two goals;

1) Receive back from body shop (Almost a year).

2) Rebuild Suspension/Brakes.

What are yours?

[herbsteiner]

1. Fix the little annoying leaks, up top and below; specifically, the oil pan gasket, the windshield molding, and the hatch molding.

2. Install new shocks.

3. Get the thing painted.

[FastWoman]

1. Tackle a few small rust repairs.

2. Rebuild the transmission (?)

3. Rebuild the brakes, not that they're not working, but because they're probably due, and they're important.

4. Replace semi-rusty hard lines (fuel, brakes) with stainless.

5. Do less work and more enjoying. (Might not be possible this year.)

6. Get my car under cover.

7. Have a shorter resolutions list a year from now.

Getting the twins finished. Have all of the parts now for the newly painted car and it is in the garage. The original car just needs the rest of the bugs exterminated from setting for 19 years. Hopefully by June 1!

Nice valve cover, Leonard!

Get back to work on my Z's. My wife and I are trying to get a business off the ground and it's taken all of my time since October. Almost there though.

Happy New Year!

1. Get the head finished on the Fairlady

2. Fix the stupid non-reading gas gauge

3. Find out where the quarter size oil leaks are coming from on the 240Z

4. Enjoy!

[Oiluj]

1. Install the rebuilt 5-speed

2. Find or fabricate a compressor bracket / complete the under-hood install for my A/C.

[Zs-ondabrain]

1. Finish the body work on the 260Z

2. Paint and start getting the 260Z back together.

3. Somehow fix the small oil leak on the fuel pump. it's small but keeps blowing oil onto the motor and passenger side fender, frame rail, firewall and a few other things.

4*. Win the lottery so I can finish the damn car, buy a house and property for Leah and take a well deserved vacation. Finally.

Nothing too grandiose - just finish the total restoration and have it sorted out and back on the road by May!

- The car is still at the painter, the four month estimate is now 6 months and counting, but - at least it got painted Christmas week.

- The engine rebuild is complete.

- Suspension rebuild is complete, front and rear.

- All interior components are on hand except new carpet.

- Most of the engine bay bits are on hand.

Hope my timeline is doable!

Well, gettin older each year and with Gods grace i'm just so happy to still be here and see another new year, and enjoy it today with our son, his wife and their 16 month old baby girl.

I have three weeks to finish the paint repair on my 240 so we can take it to the annual car show in our town.

Quite a big deal, with all the gate takings going to charity, so thats good.

Is the snow melting for you guys yet? I would love to see a white Christmas.

Happy New Year
