  1. https://www.amazon.com/Motor-Master-Universal-Joint-ATV700/dp/B000GZRASO Look at page 7 (I believe)here Halfway down the page
  2. It's a double edged sword! It's great if you're ready to cash out. Not so great if you want to drive them and enjoy them. Harder to insure and you have to start thinking like a Ferrari owner. Is it safe, is someone going to vandalize it or hit it in the parking lot. I sort of miss the "it's a cheap car" thing. It made it very low stress to "drive it like you stole it" and to park it anywhere. The flip side of rising prices is the availability of new reproduction parts that wouldn't exist if the cars didn't have the underlying value
  3. Yes, but it's not an R. A nice rare car but still a 240z. Didn't take as long as I thought it would to get to six figure cars. I think before too long you will see less rare cars appreciate towards this level.
  4. Over a 100k with 3 days to go!
  5. Yes, you can remove the shims under the hinges. which will move it forward, but you have to be very careful the hatch lip doesn't contact the roof! It will remove the paint really quickly if it does. The hatch looks like it might still be a touch lower than the roof which will add to potential interference
  6. It looks really good! Was all the sectioning of the rear bumper done with a plastic welder?

    We are about to head into our traditionally bad months of Feb & March. I dont know about April. It can be really different weather in the mountains than where I am in the foothills even though its not that far away
  8. Or vote against taxes and or expect less services from a nationally level government National government (either here or there) is not known for its efficiency.
  9. What makes the graphite rewinds a mistake?
  10. In LA I suspect finding a good metal man to do all the hammer work might be challenge in the 6-10k range
  11. $74.5k ends in 7 days
  12. If I didn't have so many projects I would buy it today with mommas approval
  13. Also the caliper bleeds need to be on top no matter what position they are installed in

    That's what I thought but the other side of the "world" from me...
  15. Crossing the Ebrake lines is a common thing in this conversion
  16. Why don't you pm me. If we can agree on a price I will spend some time on it. If not thats fine. I just have very limited time

    It's got wilwoods on the front and an aluminum radiator. Maybe some other good parts https://www.copart.com/lot/59307649
  18. @Zaspen I could cut this out of the hatch If we agree on a price I will cut it out and clean it up for some better pictures before sending it
  19. 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
  20. A guess on the hatch roof line is the hatch bracket is bent or the weld is cracked I have to stretch my tail light finishers just a little to go over the slam panel
  21. Pretty hard to clean up the hardware without taking the zinc chromate off
  22. 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!
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
