My "new" Z

[Zed]

I just bought this on 10-6-01. This is my second '73 240Z.

I can't wait to tear into it.

Wow, congrats on buying another 240.

She looks in great shape.

What make are the carbs you have there?? My baby has no carbs she has the 280zx FI engine. I'll put her some trible webbers soon.

Regards,

George.

Let me tell ya. This car is sweet. I was looking at the forums tonight and came across your little "project".... very nice.

Love that black in the fall season.

Hey Mike, I want lots of stars next to my name like you.

Car looks good now, and you want to tear into it?? Man, I wish I hadn't torn mine down, cause now I can't drive it!! I say, drive that sweet car, and just "tinker" with it now and then!!

Don't know how it would go but since the roof is only a sheet of steel a good welder should be able to put a patch panel in its place.

Sorry, bpilati, Mike is keeping all the stars. He won't even pass out a real gold star to any of his gold star members!! Just kidding, Mike.

Anyone can have gold stars and the designation of supporting member. I'm putting that particular designation next to anyone who supports the club.

I figured I support the club every month. So, I gave myself a few stars.
