Had them "rebuild" my engine in my '75 about 3 yr ago. Overall a good experience BUT know exactly what & how you want it done. "Jock" unit prices work and for me there were a few surprises at the end.....get clarification upfront. He is a bit difficult to work with and is quick on the upsell "while we have it opened up" but if the same techs are there should be OK ...Car has run great ever since so...

Work in progress....12/70 VIN HLS30-16222 Silver / black ....numbers matching engine ...long way to go but very little rust! Kyle

Have two in excellent shape...no longer need send me a PM Kyle

Interested parties....I happened to "be in the neighborhood" and so I took the opportunity to stop and check out #478. Just for the record, I am in process of restoring #16222 so was interested in this early version (you guessed it 11/69) All VIN plates intact and clean....From a 20 minute inspection, I can report the following: It has the # matching block (#2497) but an E88 head swap by PO. Current owner swapped in a 5 speed but has the original 4 speed..The original "2400" cam cover has been painted over. Owner has original SU's and manifolds on shelf along with misc. parts. Complete front valance is off but on shelf. Original green car now in various shades of green patene and oxidation.....Original black interior needs restoration obviously, missing vinyl pieces and carpets.. door panels so so ...Dash has full cap installed so ....Missing various emblems and other easy to replace items. Current owner replaced brake master with later version did not ask if brake lines switched...aftermarket radiator...Now the better news no major rust in the usual areas...frame rails, floorpans, hatch sill, battery tray & firewall(minor surface), engine bay still green....still "undercoating" present, minimal bumps and bruises underneath some surface rust on body panels, rockers & doglegs looked solid.. even fenders.. few dings here and there but pretty straight....original hood replaced somewhere along the line...car blocked in garage so could not get better pictures sorry...the wooden rear light panel bolted to original bodywork...IMHO a solid base for restoration.....Kind of cool to see. The owner may be posting again with better pictures of critical areas but he's done a little more research and probably will ask more $$.....Clean title and odo says 73xxx....Also for the record purely an informational post.....

Just getting started on my "project"---# 16222 ----12/70 Numbers matching block w/E-31 will need major....

Proud owner of two Z's--'75 rebuilt "non-original" motor Club event cruiser.... Restoration begun..12/70 (#16222) very little rust..original "siezed" motor..may be shelved for now in favor of L28 install

Fairy new to site but just purchased '71 vin # 26661 from second owner (cali. car) to add to my '75 280Z and '85 300zx ...looking forward to the relatively minor work to the '71 ...not a show car but great driver ..mostly original..Need a bigger garage!

Thanks for the replies...Wanted to head south from San Jose for the WCN but...thought best to head back north with a "new" car...route looks to be northwest out of San Fran. up 101 to Eureka for the first night (4/26)and then continue to Porland on day 2 .....probably stop in to see Arne and home again...anyone along the route PM me with contact info "just in case" Thanks, Kyle

Thanks Arne...I do have your info...I'll see how things are going and give you a head's up for sure Kyle
