I got the engine bay and interior painted this weekend. I have a couple small spots I have to wet sand but over all I think it turned out pretty good. Now time to start putting some parts back on. Brian

Looks graet. I just got my engine bay and interior painted(also did it myself). Hope it turns out as good as yours when its all put back together. Brian

Got the other dog leg fixed up. It wasnt bad enough to replace the whole piece so I just cut it out and made some pieces to fit. I'll have to skim it with filler before paint.

Thanks. I'll post whatever I get done this weekend. Hopefully the other dogleg and hatch.

Im gonna try to get the inside and engine bay painted in next couple weeks so I can start putting it back together. This car came in pieces from the guy I bought it from after my 73 was wrecked. I wanted to paint it before winter but dont want to rush it. I figure interior and engine bay will be good enough to get most of the car put back together over winter then paint the rest in spring.

Got dogleg welded in place. Still needs little more welding and grinding. Painted bottom with po15. Now have to do a little repair on drivers side dogleg and rear hatch. Brian

If I remember correctly...If your talking about the thin outer sleeve thats left when you remove stock rubber then yes it needs to come out. They dont come out easily either. Especially the rear outer control arms. Some one correct me if Im wrong. I did about a year ago on a 240. Brian

Yeah I looked at the mount for the differential and it is curved like my 73 I believe.

I have a 73 I've been woorking on for 2 years. long story short..my brother totaled it just before I got tags for it. Now I have a 71(10/70) and Im wondering if I can use all the susepension, drive shaft, diff, etc from the 73 with no problems. I remember reading somewhere that somthing is different. Maybe the rear is mounted 35mm forward or back? I can barely bring myself to post the wrecked picture but here it is and heres the new project. Starting from scratch. Brian

perfect. thanks

That setup is definately cool. I want to use the horns but just dont know if it will work ok with the K&Ns.

Lazeum, are you or can you run air horns under those filters? I have similar setup and need filters in the next week or so. If I get the K&N filters, should I remove the air horns or put them on over top of horns? My headers are wrapped with header tape and I dont have a heat shield by the way. Brian

Thanks. I got in touch with Barry at east coast z, he has a seat from a 260 for me. He says they are the same so we shall see. Mine has metal springs on the bottom.

You would never know those fender were modified to fit...damn he's good. I have a old sunroof if you want to customize it a little. I'll give it to you free.

figures...thanks. Guess I'll try to find a 240z seat or I'll have to weld it. I was hoping I was done with welding. sorry double post

Looks good guys...Is the engine ready for it yet?

Is the seat seat frame the same on a 240z and 280z? Mine is rusted pretty bad and before I try to weld it I figured I might be able to find a better used one. Brian

Thanks Guy. I closed the doors after I put the windows in and realized I didnt have door handles on outside yet. Had to climb through the hatch to open them up again. Looks like it will be 3 weeks till I put the engine together. Hopefully you'll be around then and I can put you to work.
