Hey guys,

I have owned my 1971 240Z for around 12 months now, but this week I have finally been able to start work on it. I have been going hard on my other project, a 1973 Porsche 911 RSR inspired build, but I am waiting for custom engine parts, so I can finally start my Z project.

I bought the car as someones failed project, so it was completely stripped. Everything is there though, and it is an amazingly clean, rust free shell, so it should make for a great project.

This week I first needed to replace the front wheel bearings on the 911 so I could put wheels on it and move it out of the way. I then got into doing a stocktake on my Z to see what it needed, and start formulating a plan for the build.

Here is the episode.

Hey I've been following your Porsche and home build for a while! Didn't know you're here!

Now I am actually working on my Z I thought it was about time I actually started learning something about it

I knew it was pretty clean, but that is the first time I saw how super clean it actually was. 

Looking forward to your progress.

Jeff I absolutely love your work and determination to get these cars going. The workmanship is first class.

One thing that bugs the crap out of me is the bumper music you chose.

Is this a rave for 19 year old girls or a real man's show about building awesome cars?

Get some AC/DC or guitar based stuff not that techno garbage.

I see your wife (you're punching way above your class) is in a lot of your vids, maybe she chose the music.

Sorry for the rant but that type of music is slowly taking over the world because no one is paying attention and real people who have the talent to play instruments are losing work.

Otherwise I'm envious of what you've accomplished and keep up the videos. I even like the home repair ones.

I never heard them before but that rocks and is now required music on every Datsun video! That Japanese song is great too.

Thanks!

I am not a music guy by any means. I am open to suggestions, but it needs to be royalty free music. The selections are not great. If you give me links to good royalty free stuff I will happily use it. 

The other issue is that music taste is so subjective, that no matter what I do, someone will hate it

 Reminds me of a t-shirt that said, "I may be old but your music still sucks."
