Alternate grills
I was looking at a couple of grills for my 240z project. One is the Skillard grill that fills the whole front end. especially when running an air dam. The other is a similar grill I found on Ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240Z-Billet-Aluminum-Grille-2-Taller-Then-Stock-Grille/192931904057?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 I was wondering if anyone has tried either of the grills? Any comments on fit or appearance? Are the bars similar in size to the factory grill? Thanks, C

Glad you fixed it. It's a good thing to run out of things to do on the car. I wish I had that problem!

The steering shaft ujoints are NLA but there is a 4 wheeler U joint that will work. Kawasaki I believe. I don't remember the # off hand.

You can get the window adjusted right. The front vertical rail could be loose or tilted wrong. It has 2 nuts that can be loosened and then it has a little adjustment room. Keep tinkering until it works good. If you can do that other work you can fix the glass.
