That sounds good getting the car dipped but I'm a little past that stage. I just have to say hats off to any one that dose the hole car and dose not take shortcuts every time i look at it i find something else.I'm back tracking . This car is going to be my sons car and I'm doing one for me next.

OK the main rust spots on a older 240 are the rear hatch the battery area and the floor boards i don't have a newer z so i don't know about there performance but the old ones pull there weight some part's are expensive and others are reasonable

My car is going to be a daily driver. It will be my truck back and from work because i have to. It would be pretty hard to put a 40 foot ladder on my 240 but as soon as I'm off work **** that truck.Grocery store wall mart out of state you name it it will be in the z. The only problem no room for the kids that is too bad guess i will just have to git a baby sitter.

OK dose any one know what the stock hp is on a 5/72 240z and I'm wondering how much more my header gives it. And an msd ignition.Is there any thing that i can do to boost it with out messing with the motor.
-
Yes i know i tried to do all the body work and paint but it is taking to long so I'm paying some one to do it quicker.

I don't know if it is just because i own a Z know. That I'm noticing them but i took a drive today and i saw 2 different Zs one in goose creek that one was green and if any one one here belongs to that car let me know.And a light blue one that has a temporary tag on it just like 3 houses down by summerville high school.Also i went to every junk yard in the area and no one has a 240z for parts.
