Restoring 240z front panel
perhaps i should try that nail polisher, luckily i can use my wife to get that My garage is quite cold now (only few degrees plus celcius) so should i paint it somewhere warmer? Also a bit OT but im also about to paint my radiator but how ye paint rows properly? I mean like i cant sand it, so should i sandblast it or what? I have sanded the upper and lower tank but the rows are a bit dirty looking

Replacing door panels???
Well, banzai motorworks has the SKINS for 260$ pair, but you need to make the panels yourself or use the old ones. Im afraid there is no easy way out in this. Those panels are rare parts and if you cant restore your old ones (like i did, cause i got no money) you'll just have to save some money. What is the status of your current panels, or do you miss them completely?

73 240z rear drums won't bleed.
To me this sounds like a master cylinder issue. I had similar symptoms, tried to bleed and bleed with no good results. Got a new master cyl, bleeded, and works like a charm.

Headlight Conversion - Headlight Bucket Modification
Btw. Yer Volvos "always on" lights are like that because in Sweden and here, its illegal to drive without lights in daytime. Keeping your lights on all the time reduces the risk of crossroads accidents.
