Hi!

My name is Tom-Anders and I am the proud owner of this newly acquired 1970 240z:)

The car arrived in norway coming from the US a few weeks ago. Unfortunately the car had been messed with during transport so the front windshield was cracked badly and the propshaft was torn apart. I also heard bad rattling sounds coming from the head which turned out to be one of the rocker arms that had jumped out of position:paranoid: Seems like someone has tried to do burnouts with it or something:ermm: Anyways, I am fixing all these things + some other things to get the car registered here in norway.

This is my first Z, so I am probably going to have some questions that I hope to get some answers for here:) I will of course also share the development of my Z-project with you:)

Regards,

Tomzern

Welcome Tom! Too bad about the shipping damage, but at least your car wasn't on this ship:

Hi Tom:

That looks like a pretty nice 240Z - it is a shame it was damaged in shippment. Nonetheless, I'm sure you will have to bad to great shape soon. Did you have any other Sports Cars before this? What made you decide that you wanted a 240Z?

Do keep us posted on your progress.

Nice car you have there Tom -Anders, hope to see you on the road soon! Where in Norway are you from?

Seems like there has been many Z`s coming to Norway this year.

Thanks for the warm welcoming:)

I have previously owned a 200sx (same as 240sx, but with Ca18det engine) which restored from ground up with rebuilt engine and around 300whp:) I sure miss her sometimes, but I have always wanted a 240z because of the great design and because it is a lot cheaper to own and easier to legally modify a veteran here in norway.

I will post pictures of the 200SX later when I am not on my cellphone.

Nice to meet other Norwegians here:) I am from Asker:) you?

There you have my 200sx:) sorry about the separate posts, but it's complicated to get everything into one post when writing on a phone:)

Hi Tom,

Welcome to the club. That is a great looking Z. I am partial to yellow Z's, since I owned one for 7 years. Does it have any rust? IT looks pretty solid from the pictures at least.

You will have to tell us the story on how you found it.

Enjoy it!

Marty
