The valve cover looks good. Are you ready for me to ship you one yet?

Um, I have to clean the garage first. That will take a LONG time.

Well, got some time over and wanted to put her on steelis for the storage season.

dident think the Toyota brakes would clear but they did.

Mud flaps made it look a bit like a rally car : )

Placed an order for two new seats. Will take 3-4 weeks before I have them.

Think they look great, just hope they are great to sit in aswell.

Did you say before what type seats those are? I like them.

Forgot, they are Cobra GT3 historic.

Yes I walked out to take a photo.

I was looking at my winter gear I got when i bought my other 240z (sadly sold that car)

Not that i will drive it in the snow and salt but its tempted to throw on the tires with spikes and the mudflaps front/back and take some pics : )

I live in Ödeshög by lake Vättern.

My friend used to live at the bottom of the lake.  He told me the town, but I forgot.

Then it's Jönköping or Husqvarna?

Not much to do but fixed a small leak from the oil pan. Happy about that.

And even more happy to have reached 100 sold km/h speedometer plates!!

 

Now make them in white face!

I finished welding up my rocker panels ends. One old donor piece (driver side) and one fabricated piece I made.





Now just need to clean up those welds!

Finished up installing Tokicos, Eibachs and brake parts for the rear of the 73. Just bled the rear brakes. Now on to shocks, springs and new Willwood brakes for the front.

Finally did some Z work... for a friend.

Removed cam and head.  Cylinder 4 plug was slightly black and oily.  4 head bolts around cylinder 4 were dry and crusty, all others were smooth and oily.  Head bolt above exhaust ports in centre broke... but enough is out for the engine shop to weld to... lucky day.

Cylinder 4 and 3 had some crust where the eyebrows are (L26 engine), piston tops look good.  I had to call it a night.  I'll peel off head gasket and inspect it further tomorrow along with valves.

I took lots of photos
