Could be, I think he over estimates the value of "what he's got..."

HLS30-00640 Up for Auction on eBay
Too bad. I know what he's got too. And lot's of it! Rust... and a title... This where the problem really lies. Not very much car there to work with but the value is in the VIN

It's a shame we can't find a vendor to reproduce these. Might need a core charge for the washers, but still..

Front / Rear Control Arms
The urethane is harsher too and ride quality can suffer. A G35 has a much more refined suspension and is much quieter overall

Ok, so now they're just being silly. The car is a total loss! Not enough in parts to justify that price.

Lower steering shaft u-joint
Off of memory, you disconnect the rag joint. Take the bolt out at the lower end and pull it off the rack. That last part is usually harder than it sounds.

71 at Copart in Arlington WA
This one runs tomorrow https://www.copart.com/lot/38427609 I saw it when it was in Mass, which is where the title is from. Look at the big holes int he doors and rockers. You know there is more of that! $4,600 already!

Early gas cap too. Those are pretty rare also...

71 at Copart in Arlington WA
I thought I would tag on here instead of creating a new thread. I watched a 71 240z roll through Copart today. It had a Florida title and was probably really rusty. It went through for $4,550! plus fees (maybe another 20%). It sold to Poland. So it has to be shipped to Europe on top of that!! Amazing...

Franklin Mint Z
So it has some damage history. That makes the numbers even more interesting

Whining sound when lights on
I agree the voltage numbers look pretty good. Someone else could probably chime in but the voltage going down, might just be the charge leveling out in the battery. Not my specialty. Since the voltages are good and it doesn't appear the alternator is being worked overly hard, then I would suspect the noise is from the alternator, but it does appear to be working properly.

You're through paint, which is the hard part. Maybe it will get easier from here. Did you find new crenelated mustache bar washers somewhere?

Replacement Door Plate
The plates in the door jamb are riveted. The one on the shock tower uses small screws. I think its best if they go back this way. PM an address and I will drop you some

Replacement Door Plate
@Mike I have a box of pop rivets that should be correct for the door plate. If you would like some...

That's some cool head work! Hard to find people who can handle that kind of work.

New to the forum, 240Z with most dealer options
I would say two owner cars are getting very rare. I would start with a whole different engine and set the numbers matching engine to the side. Get an L28 motor and tweak it a little bit.
