I use diesel heaters to warm up the garage, works great, not that expensive on fuel consumption, maybe an idea?

edit: sorry dubble post

Uhm here's a picture: Yeah I'll see how it goes Def will post before and after the process...

How was it ?!

Okay.. I ordered one of these: ACTIE !! HBM Inspectiecamera / Endoscoop - HBM Machines BV I thought it would be very handy to go into these places and check if i did hit everything? Maybe I can link it to the applicator so I can see what I am " hitting " with the spray? I needed one of these anyhow for my work, but thought of why not use it to look inside the hollow area's of the car?

Hi Carl, Is that antenna original? Bart

Here's a video of the Valvoline stuff ( seems about the same as that Eastwood stuff except the color )

Seems some pretty good stuff, wasn't WD40 made for the same purpose? Displace water?

Interesting.. @ grannynot: Valvoline ML they claim for this purpose.. well this is how it looked liked on a piece of rusty metal after 12 hours: It seems to be a very thin layer over the rust, but if it does the job?

Yeah, I heard other people talking about dumping all kinds of oil lubricants into the inner panels, but I'm not sure what to think of that, since they have special products for the job like ML and Dinitrol and so?

Thanks guys. That eastwood kit you get the 1 meter flexibele spray nozzle, I also have that with the Valvoline ML can. I sprayed some Valvoline ML here on a very rusty test plate, I wil check what it has done tomorrow. It seems to bite into the rust and form a layer on top of it. I'll try anything I can to stop/slow down that cancer process from within

When the car has completed the road safety check I'm planning on spraying all the rusty hollow places that the car has with some kind of spray to stop the rust process for most of the part. You guys have any advice on spots where I can go in to reach these places? Like the inner fenders rear, doglegs ( i believe that's how you call em? ) front frame rails etc.. I saw this stuff from Eastwood, anyone got any experience with that? At home I also do have Valvoline ML, but maybe this Eastwood stuff or others are better for the job?

Do you have a picture of the plugs? It's actually okay to have a little but to much fuel but not to much, a dark grey to dry light dark is what your looking for. Heat range 6 should be fine, ngk recommends this as stock.

Ditto. Cool pics so far ! Looks like a .. " once your start cutting there's no way back " Z...

sounds like fun a 70 model.. keep us updated curious to see some pictures

I'd share Carls opinion, " once your start digging ".. ( but I think even the nicest Z has hidden rust in there.. ) you could still have fun with the car, and repair the bad spots, by cutting out the rotten section and weld in new metal, but you need to have some skills for that.

good advice, i'll think i'll do something like that

A friend of mine was curious about that I found the previous owners in the US. He asked me if you guys where able to help him to also possibly trace back the last owner in the US, he doesn't have any history prior to 1990.. and the car was shipped ot the Netherlands in 1994. This is what he has: dhr Kavanagh Joseph J 7695 NW 21ST court Margate florida 33063-7904 The car changed owner 4 times during 1994 in a short time, because the owners found out the floors and frame rails was all rusty, and possibly didn't have the skill to prepare. The current owner repaired this. The only thing not original now is the rear fenders, but he hasn't done anything to it yet. ( more pics to come )

Yeah, I really like that color and will keep it that way Alan. Just that iˊd like to bring the engine and bay back to orginal look..

Plenty of time, no hurries I was also amazed to find so much Datsun Z at Joop Stolze, since they are almost no where to be found here. It's not like his place had a huge billboard or something , nothing at all... that was the most amazing thing, like a barn find..

Hello Alan, Nice to meet you! By chance I found this youtube video and didn't know if you would respond, but rather quick ! It must be nice for you also to find your Z back! It's in good hands. It needed alot of work to be done, but so far it's roadworthy again, and it will go up for check the 13th of Februari, hope it passes the first time. The engine still needs work, but it's running good for now, you got any history on that? @ Robert and Alan, it would be really cool to track back the other owners, and even the first one! ( if possible ). Well i'll be posting more pics and maybe a video when the weather will be better. I really like the color by the way! Will be painting it the same color again when it needs repaint. Bart.

Was searching on Youtube for 240Z vids, suddenly I find my own car up running in 2009 ( looks the same like the pictures Robert S showed ).. now that's cool
