The blue 510

And she's done! Licensed and on the road and it only took 42 yrs. I'm wondering anyone is even going to notice the 240Z sunvisors, they look like they could be stock.

Love that old truck!!

Also the car looks fabulous. How did your door seals turn out? Did you have similar problems to what I had?

I'm surprised how much that reminds me of a BMW 2002 in the photos.  Nice work!

I don't actually remember what the problem was, I used Permetex HD weatherstrip adhesive as a contact cement and they went on nicely.

Did you ever get the hanging idle sorted?

[Patcon]

The seals would fold over instead of laying flat against the body.  Like there wasn't enough space to allow them to lay flat while the doors closed. Ill see if I can make a picture

Sort of, I got the idle down to 800 rpm and the timing set dead on 20*, it still hangs a bit but doesn't affect the driving of the car, it only does it at idle when I blip the throttle so at the moment it's not a problem.  I have a new water temp sender coming this week, I've read that a bad sender can screw with the idle.

I cemented both sides of the right angle on the back of the seal to the door and let them cure with the door open with no pressure on them, the doors have spent most of the time since installation closed and so far they are holding well and sealing properly, got caught in a rain storm coming back from getting the car safetied  and there were no leaks. I wish I could say the same for the 240Z, I have to carry a towel in that car.

Thanks, they are from the last year of the Mazda RX8, one of the few things that was good about that car.
