Unpacked several recent purchases for install on the Datsun on New Year’s Day.

Took our ‘72 240Z down to Cars and Coffee in San Clemente, CA. We didn’t park in the exhibitor area, but based on what I saw there, we probably should have. There was one really beautiful right side drive, orange 240Z there. It could’ve used some company :-)

Going for Cars and Coffee tomorrow at Zup's house.   Based on tomorrows weather forecast in Bentonville,  18 is the high,  it will be Cars and Ice Coffee.  

Well Jim 2 made it up here and his prediction is 100% accurate.

18* for a high and the coffee is iced! 

Probably sounds like a heat wave compared to @Namerow @zKars @240260280

I'd prefer @motorman7 temps---

 

Whooohoo! 2018.  I almost remotely controlled* my neglected 280z into the garage for its refresh but the Ridgeline developed an oil leak so it went in the garage... -15C outside.

 

I'll have the truck fixed when the stores open on Tuesday then ol' Blue goes under the knife/welder.   An experiment in rust.

 

 

* walking beside it while pressing a remote starter and the transmission in 1st gear.

It will be a frosty -9 degrees F tonight in my part of southern Ontario.  No relief in site either. The prediction for Friday is the same.

Happy New Year to all!

Zilver,  Zup, Fiona and S30Driver wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!

May 2018 be the best year ever for you all!

This New Years project is BC Coliovers. Got donor front and rear struts ready to cut and weld

Tested my new metal replica Fairlady hood emblem.

(Oem emblem to the right for comparison)

Took my son up to a new home development that is under construction for a session of manual transmission driver training. He is doing great. Part of me is going to be sad when he is ready to drive it on his own. I don’t think I will ever see it again! [emoji22]

Get one for yourself.  Then you'll have a compari SON car.

My son and I did our first brake work. Trying to chase down some howling from the right side front disc.
Remove the wheel and brake pads. Cleaned the rotor and calipers, cleaned and sanded the pads. Added some “brake quiet” goop on the back of the pads and reinstalled everything. Seems good so far…
