Mr.Green the Great

Just picked up my zg fender flares!!! Cant wait to see them all mounted!!! will post pics of the process tomorrow.

Some quick pics of my baby! Showing the installed mirrors, damage to the airdam, and my stitch work. Still looks good in my opinion. And a quick peek at the dash aswell. I think it looks pretty good! Especially considering how bad it was... Forgot to take pics before I started to "fix" it. ... not rich so I worked with what I had. Plan on getting a new dash eventually anyway. Fender flares are the next on my list. I know I have to cut and its exciting starting this but before hand I was wondering if anybody has any kind of tips or tricks they used to get em lined up right. Any input would be amazing! Have a good one Classic Zers and thanks in advance.

Ok so they are that much for the oem ones!!! I found the covers on The Z Store and they are only 70 bucks. will be ordering these soon and many other parts aswell. Thanks Carl, you always answer my questions promptly and accurately. I really appreciate it!!!

Anyone know where to get clear headlight covers for the 240z? The only ones I found were $1,000 USD. I feel like I could get em for cheaper or is that a normal price? All input and suggestions are REALLY appreciated! Thanks in advance. Cheers Classic Zers

Picked up some bullet style mirrors off of a 67 1600 roadster SPL311. Got em for 10 bucks from the original owner of the car. Really nice guy! He was the original owner of the car and said those mirrors came with it when he purchased it! Installed em on my fenders and they look great IMO! Made my own rubber bottoms for them. Will post pics of them on the car tomorrow when I get a chance. Cheers Classic Z!

Thanks!!! I will keep the progress moving on the 240z as much as possible. Just came up on a bunch of free parts!

Sweet ride, looks to be in good condition! Never hurts getting an early start in the tuning/ mechanic world. Good luck with your restoration and keep turning those wrenches.

Met an older Z guy at the gas station. He loved my car and the fact that a young guy was rebuilding her. He sold his last year and he has a bunch of parts laying around. Giving me fenders, straight hood, rear window louvers, 14inch center line 4 spoke wheels, and some interior pieces and a set of tail lights in better condition than mine!!!! He is giving me all these parts FOR FREE!!! Love the Z community and I am feeling the love. Will post pics of my score and when I install all the new stuff on the 240z!

Greetings from the AZ dessert! Just picked up my first Z ever and first old shcool aswell! She has been a fun car to work on and im glad ive gotten to get her back on the road. Heres a link to my build thread. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/check-out-my-ride/50244-mr-greens-71-240z-project-dd.html Cheers Classic Z Car Club!

Got my BRE spook/airdam installed! I love how much more aggressive the car look. Thanks to psdenno and Carl Beck I was able to get it lined up and bolted down. Now for some quick pics! Driver side Front view Passenger side Sorry for the crappy quality, Phone camera sucks. And the cars pretty dirty.

THANKS! I wasnt aware it bolted to the core support.. That made things alot easier. I will have it installed by the PM.

haha... Why I never thought of that is beyond me ! Thanks!

No. They are Bart Racing Steelies. I would have liked Diamonds, I think they look more aggressive! But I got these for a smoking deal and they look more like the old school ones I remember seeing as a kid.... Any tips on installing a BRE front airdam. Im having trouble mocking it up. How far under should I mount it? kinda hard to keep it up by myself to drill the holes. Any tips or tricks? Thanks in advance!

Yes, I feel like I got a really good deal on this one. Especially seeing that its RUST FREE!!! If you dont mind me asking how much are they going for in your part of the world?

Thanks!!! Yea she is alot older than I am. growing up my mom had a black 280z with red interior. Man I loved that car. My uncle also was a Datsun man so I got to see his 240z and its always been a dream car. Now I finally have one of my own!!!
