Man that sucks ! Lucky that you have just minor injuries ! I know the feeling.. I to just came back from a car wash last year when some idiot parked his van in the front of my z.. doing 10k damage. I sure hope for you that guy in the explorer has some kind of an Insurance...

Second that ! Great work man !

Great ! Live it man ! About the gas tank leak.. when you have the time drop it down, and replace all the hoses, that's the problem.

@black gold manyour wheels are on it !

The weather was bad, but I gave it a try.. turned out dry there Lucky ! I also met Eurodat ( Chas ) @ Japan Classic Sunday..

Ah yeah..chinese wrenches !

Needs welding, floors, doglegs, but seems to me a good candidate for a restoration ? Original engine is still there. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-Series-240Z-/122021923385?forcerrptr=true&hash=item1c6912ca39:g:NMoAAOSwNuxXaJLN&item=122021923385

Love that colour blue

Actually a series 2 doesn't exist. That's just what we call it based on the rear sail pillar emblem. But changes went slowly over time during the production. They used up parts laying around from the real early cars on mid to late 71's.

All stock with stock camshaft. Valve seats have been replaced offcourse for unleaded. I am not sure about the price yet, it's hard to determine a price for these..

Not good. Go back. It was done to quickly, and the preparation wasn't done right. That grinder marks should have been sandblasted. The yellow is only touching the edges as you can see.

Could be a 69, this came up on the nissan website as a 69 fairlady z model..

What do you mean with a period styled racer ? You said you want a matching numbers car. So you just want to upgrade the engine a bit, like for instande triple carburetors, or do more things ? The first thing you should look for on a 240Z is an as much as possible rust free car. If you buy cheap you will need to invest more to get it back in good condition, so you would be looking at at price tag of around 15k or more. Here's an example ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-Series-/252405711514?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3ac48d829a:g:ExsAAOSwa81XSeWB&item=252405711514

@ Cars and Coffee, Amsterdam ( Autovisie )..yesterday.

Cool pictures Kats !

Cool pictures Kats !

It was done pretty good, although it's missing many Original parts. Never understood why they ditched the Hitachi carbs for throttle bodies and fuel injection. I mean isn't a classic supposed to be restored to Original ?

Nice ride ! I would put air filters on there.. there's Always the chance of little dirt going into the cylinders and let it wear out quicker.

I will be having an extra spare rebuild E31 for sale, within a month or so. It's currently at the shop being rebuild, it's almost done. If any club members here are interested, give me a reasonable offer. It's getting hard to find these..

Okay. Here's a picture of today. The 240Z is back, standing next to his big brother . 2 Icons of 70's USA... Did some work yesterday cleaning up the engine bay and interior, cause it was al dirty from standing all that time in the paint shop. Only problem I know have is that the voltage regulator is shot ( I think the accident last time, that caused the damage gave it a final blow. It was reading 17.2 Volts at idle, so shut it down before frying the wiring.. ), ordered one, and it is on the way from Japan...
