240260280z Posted September 15, 2014 Share #289 Posted September 15, 2014 The world seems to work at 70% and "good enough". These days it seems you have to do it yourself to get it done right.Artisans, pride, and care are long gone..... except in a few isolated places.So if you want balanced tires the first time you need to buy a machine or you have to settle for the 20th attempt.A good friend had the same problem getting his suspension set.

bartsscooterservice Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share #292 Posted October 5, 2014 The 240Z is heading to the painter tomorrow. I removed the bumpers and the headliner ( for sunroof removal ). The painter will remove all the windows/lights etc and replace all the rubber seals. ( all the seals are in the carton box in the rear of the 240z ) I also managed to buy an original 1971 owners manual from Ebay. The owner said the following: Nissan Motor Corp. reprinted these in 1997 for the Nissan Z-Store- to put in the glove box of the Restored 1970-72 240Z's. I was part of that program restoring Z's. I got these direct from Nissan Motor Corp. So these are NOS of Nissan's reprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartsscooterservice Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share #294 Posted October 26, 2014 The bumpers are also away for new chrome. I also ordered new rubber oem strips for the bumpers in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted October 27, 2014 Share #295 Posted October 27, 2014 Are they painting the whole car, or just parts? Bet you can't wait to get it back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartsscooterservice Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share #296 Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Are they painting the whole car, or just parts? Bet you can't wait to get it back! Yes the whole car.. The windows will go out also, when it's painted, they will go back in with new seals. Sure, but I have to be patient Edited October 29, 2014 by bartsscooterservice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
