Logan's 240Z

Hi, Here are more photos some of you asked to see of the rotisserie.

Forgot to add photos of pump,here they are

Does the 240z have an electric and mechanical fuel pump? The mechanical at the engine and the electric near the gas tank? I'm posting a photo of the rear pump? in question.Any info on rebuild or repair of this greatly appreciated.I'm doing a complete restoration and you guys are teaching me as I go,thanks again,Roger

I'll post some more on monday Carl.The shots I got today were too dark.The rotisserie is being kept at my work,and I can't get in there tommorrow.That's where we'll be doing the media blasting,hopefully next Saturday.Roger

My son is friends with several football players,that should do the trick!

Photos of Rotisserie my son and I built this morning in about six hours,turned out pretty good.Now we have to get the car on it. More photos to come.Roger

Thanks for the help,I now believe I have a 240z for sure.Photos of the progress of the restoration will be posted as we go.Check them out,any comments are appreciated.Thanks,Roger

My son's z has a vin number HLS30-156865 and mfg. date of 4/73. Is this car a 240z? My internet surfing has given me conflicting info.One site said the 240 production numbers up to 150,000,after that they wre 260's.Another said the 240's were made up to 2/73? The car we have is titled as a 240z. I'm looking for info on what this car is. Thanks, Roger

Just thought I'd pass on the things I've found in the first seven days in my son's z.Found 2 pennys,one pack of players cigs with one bug chewed full cigarette inside,and lastly this morning I lifted some carpet up near the firewall on the passenger side looked down and saw a square piece of paper.Turned it over and to my supprise it was an old polaroid picture of a girl with her mouth full......... use your imagination!Who knows what else I'll find,maybe Jimmy Hoffa's in here somewhere? If Anyone else can beat this find let me know,Roger.....and no I can't post the picture its x rated!

I know everyone here likes to see photos of projects,so heres some more.Roger

Yes Steve,Building my own.Complete media blasting,then rust repair.Father son project,so it should be fun for the kid.By the way do you have info for best price on floors and rear quarters at the wheel? I've seen the quarters for $100 and the pans plus supports for $350.Is that about par for these parts? Any help appreciated, Roger

photos of the project car. total restoration in progress

Thanks for the input! You guys have put me down the right path.I'll be posting photos of my progress.It's been six days since I got the car and I'm about half way to having it completely stripped for blasting.Rust repair is going to sure slow things down.Not in a hurry though.I have a 2 year window for completion.This is my sons senior project and he'll be a junior next year.I'm already getting the itch to get one of my own.Thanks again,Roger

Hi Guys,Just looking for some opinions on the proper procedure for body painting.I'm doing a complete nut and bolt restoration on a 4/73 240z.This is my plan:Walnut shell blast entire car,doors,hatch,fenders ect.Then do all rust repair,then primer.Now is where I'm not sure.Should I final paint and clear coat all inboard surfaces,and interior,then assemble complete car .Then paint the outside of car after its assembled? This is my first shot at doing a car.I've done tractors,minibikes,boats,bicycles,furniture,electric motors.Those were pretty straight forward compaired to this.Again any help is greatly appreciated,Roger

Yes it's the one that was in there lot.I know needs work.I see your in Millersburg,I'm originally from Halifax.Small world,Roger

Need info on where to get the plastic bumper trim for a 73z,price?

My son gave a $1000 for it.Now he has to work and save for the new stuff he wants to put in it.I told him it's gonna take alot of elbow grease,he asked if they sell that at Autozone.I didn't reply,Roger

Thanks Jeff for the encouraging words.Our tow is only 10 miles.I'm the mechanical manager of a 60,000 square foot electric motor repair shop and have access to all the shop eguipment including a 200 sq. ft. sandblast room, glass bead system,acid tank and full machine shop.Should make the job easier.More photos to come,Roger
