Got the car august of 2011 in boxes without a bolt on it anywhere and its finally complete. I have never driven a 240z before tonight(except a couple test miles in the subdivision). I built one before this and a failed test run ended it life. The car drives awsome. still have a couple little things to do like glove box and figure out this hatch vent deal and mostly clean it. Its dirty as hell now but it was dinner time and I couldnt resist taking out to dinner so the interior cleaning will have to wait. First stop was gas station and first guy I saw commented on it which made it a pretty good night. Thanks for all the help found on this site.

Thanks Guy. The Kia weatherstrip seems to work and fit pretty good. I'll get by there soon.

I don't see a Choke Lever in the picture... but if you do install the choke - I'd sure order one of these first - makes servicing the center console far easier - and gives a lot more support to the lever assembly.
