One of my favorite websites! So much truth. Have the "Meetings" cup at work and occasionally use the "Quality" fone for my monitor desktop at work.

Was tempted by that vendor as well, but was not sure... Got mine from MSA, figuring that if I didn't like the quality I could send it back. If you get it, let us know about the quality.

I think you're on the wrong forum...

Other colors. For those of us not trying to be original / correct. I'm going with a grey/black/charcoal color. Will use indoor/outdoor loop carpet. Will have the edges bound, probably with vinyl tape. (Exactly what I had in my previous Z when I had access to a commercial sewing machine). I'd do it myself, but it would kill my sewing machine. Also, I like a rubber (attached) underpad, also available with indorr/outdoor carpeting.

For me it was, (in order): 7 years old: 1960 red MGA (had one I restored for 17 years) 13 years old: 1953 silver Jag XK (no longer want one) 17 years old: Ferrari 246 Dino (will never be able to afford one) 20 years old, (college): silver 240Z (got my 1st 240Z when I was 23) 54 years old: I'm back in the game restoring my 3rd 240Z.

Sad. Very sad....

Looks like a great trip!

From what I've been able to find on the web, it looks like there were 116,712 240Z's sold. (is this correct?) I'm wondering how many 240's have survived. (Running or restorable). Anyone have a reliable estimate? Just curious.

Nice looking Z! Good luck with her. Much better interior than what I started with!

Wow! That's one nice looking Z! Would like to see it in person. Unlikely as I'm out on the left coast...

Have made it a regular thing to visit the car on Friday's at lunchtime. William of William's Auto Body, (furthest guy on the right in the 2nd pic below) is making progress. All trim holes have been filled and faired. Lead in roof joint seams has been removed, the seams welded and fairing is in-progress. Next week I'll find-out about the drivers side floorboard, hopefully only a little surface rust. Within the next two weeks William will make some paint panels to help me choose the stripe color. This week there are four S30's in the shop, a 510 and two ZX's. The engine is in-progress as well. Here's a link to his website: http://www.williamsautobody.net/ I also tried painting one of my new rims gunmetal last week. It came out OK, but not good enough. I need to work some more on my painting technique. That's me standing next to the car in the blue shirt.

I'm just 30 miles north of San Jose in San Mateo, so I might not be of much help.... PM me if you want my contact info. Julio

Bummer! Had that happen 2 years ago. Cost me almost $3K to get the problem fixed. Still better than a whole new roof at $15K !

I have the pertronix in mine and it works great. Had the same system in my previous car, a 1960 MGA. Much better than points if you have a worn distributer shaft.

Wow! After checking out the threads about removing the evap tank, it's high on my list of things to do. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19034&highlight=fuel+vent

I'd say paint it. Ithink it would look great with the matching blue & stripes. Of course, that's just my opinion...

Looks Great! It's even the right color... What paint did you use? I'm looking at using Mercedes "Brilliant Silver".

What hoses are we talking about? Will this include the brake booster hose?

Wow! Lots of hours of work!

Very sorry to hear about your loss. For us, pets are "members of the family" and it really hurts when they go... Out last cat lasted 16-1/2 years and I'm not ashamed to say I cried like a baby on that last trip to the vet.

I fully agree with the above posts. Just common sense. If it's something You've been looking for and need, don't tip your hand. If it's not something you need, tell others who might need it. As for myself, I've got too much stored in my garage as it is and am not looking to collect & store extra stuff I don't need!

Very Nice Indeed! I'm hoping mine comes out that nice.

Slobound76, Just read this thread and it sounds like you are getting close to identifying the problem. I'm nearby in San Mateo and am willing to lend a hand with troubleshooting. While I'm no electrical wiz, two heads are often better than one... Thing is, I'm won't be available until next weekend at the earliest. Feel free to PM me later in the week if you have not yet figured it out. Julio

Happy Egg Day! Did the family thing yesterday, so today I tried polishing one of my wheel rims and now it's time to work on taxes!

IMHO, not even close. When I was drinving across Arizona bring my car back to California, a young guy in a PT Cruiser kept trying to get me to race him. In my exuberance of driving my new "old" 240Z, I finally gave in... It wasn't even close and I left him in the dust. I slowed down and as he passed gave me the 1 digit salute. I just smiled at him and let him go. From that point on I drove like the old, conservative guy that I pretend to be...
