The horn relay is on the driver side kick panel in my car

Next up repair a few small bad spots on the hatch and blend the paint. Unfortunately the car was obviously resprayed at some point and time with the glass in it. I will then and completely prep and respray the jamb. All new gaskets and reassemble.

A little work done just before Christmas. Headlight scoops repaired and painted along with front airdam.

Nice car, I’m restoring a 903 color car as well.

Price dropped to $250 plus shipping, tires have been removed.

I just don’t have luck cutting and buffing with anything other than a wool pad on conventional buffer with 3M compound. Maybe I’m just not using the right pads on my DA buffer-polisher. Interested to know what pads and compounds you all use.

I have Vogtlands on the 240. I had heard that about KYB’s but I had KYB’s and Vogtlands on the 280 and never had issues. We shall see on the 240

Pretty much stock with lowering springs and KYB’s. 15x8 zero offset wheels with 205-55-15 tires. Silver one is the same but with Tokicos struts and springs 15x7 zero offset wheels and 225-50-15 tires

One more pic from a month or so ago, out getting some sun. ?

I removed this system from my 72 240z. The compressor would start when turned on but it didn’t have any Freon. Didn’t care to have it in the car. My 280z is my summer car. Does anyone know what these parts might be worth? I’ve done some research but haven’t really found much.

Work has slowed down and since I dont have the cash for a respray I’m doing some of the work myself. Will have it resprayed completely some day. The car was resprayed at some point and the color is not factory. I had a match done but it’s not going to be spot on. The under side of the hood was pretty ratty so I started there. I also water sanded the top side of the hood and it’s looking much better. Also got a few more parts to complete the engine compartment.

You might want to go ahead and shoot pictures of the common rust areas. Under spare tire, hatch, battery tray, lift carpets to show the floor boards. If those are clean it will sell pretty quick.

Oh I’ve been searching and mine are painted white. They are structurally just a bit ragged. I could probably paint some Black ones white but just looking to see what’s out there Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Looking for a set of White Door Cards for my 72 240Z. Thanks Jay

Got the engine fired this weekend, resolved brake issues and a few other misc items. Will readjust valves tomorrow and tackle a few electrical gremlins, I don’t plan to paint the car but am planning on shooting the underside of the hood and bottoms of the front fenders. After that I hope to get the car on the road and put some miles on her.

That’s exactly what I have on my 280z and have been very happy with it. I also had to have a small resonator installed it was pretty obnoxious without it. On this 240 build I was looking to stay a bit more stockish.

Yes it’s a stock E-30 and yes I used the MSA premium exhaust. It’s pretty straight forward, just get everything hung loose and then tighten it up. I plan on having the flanges welded up at an exhaust shop since they tend to leak. I have another car I used the system on and they leaked. I purchased the plated items from a number of sources. I have a bunch of things I need plated and am looking for a good source to do this in Florida

Slowly reassembling the engine, just about all parts have made it to me.

Thanks, I was a little concerned with the stretch but watched a video on how to address. The other side of the car in the exact same spot is damaged as well but not as bad. That’s why I think it was a parking block...

Tried my hand at metal dolly work. My project car evidently had been driven over a parking block or something. I got it reasonably straight

The Meguiars worked really well. I applied it with my small air driven buffer. Thanks for the tip!

MSA exhaust system went on today, fits like a glove. Headlight covers now going on.

Balance tube shaved and intake cleaned up, things slowly going back together. Just when I think I have everything I discover a missing gasket, bolt etc. Installed the new heater valve and hoses, yesterday, boy was that fun, I think I lost 5 pounds doing that. Exhaust going on tomorrow.

Would say $80 for the wheels, if it’s less I will refund the difference
