QCAR17

allright z-mechanics, i've got smoke from my exhaust, not a lot, and it usually stops after running awhile. returns when i throttle (push peddle while sitting still) what is usually the cause of this. thanx in advance

allright folks, verdict is in. It is a series 1 early model 1971 240-Z VIN # 11217, That I Mike am going to pimp out and send pictures of to all Zed fans on this site. Thanx all,input was overwelming

Everybody, Thanx for all the input. I will have pans in hand before doing any cutting (from Zed of course). With all answers in mind and plenty of support I'm on my way to restoring my first Z-car. Thanx again. Mike

Thanks people, Will look at all places mentioned and come up with the answer.

Allright, two of the best question guys are in the house right now, hopefully they respond to this question before signing off. I'm refering to Bambikiller, and texasZ. How do I determine the series of my car I supposedely bought a 1971 240-Z has all engine compartment stickers and plates in tack, and in good shape, do I get the info there?

Hey Man, appreciate the info and the pics. That picture of your new floor gave me all the info I was looking for. Doesn't seem like to big of a task. again, Thank you

Question for the masses, I need to replace both floor pans. My questions are: 1. How much do i need to cut away from the existing, and are there measurements available to me? 2. Can I leave the seat brace there, and just cut around them, then weld new pans in? 3. I know a skilled welder, is this a hard task to perform?

All great answers to my problems. Perdue, might just do that, take a trip to Dallas that is. E-mail me with directions to your place sometime and we will make arrangements. MHarrington@Lightningisp.com

Man, I'm just full of questions today. I LOVE THIS SITE!! I need to remove pan rust as well as rust on other spots on the interior. 1. What works best for removal (wire brush on drill or elbow grease)? 2. Should I prime and paint after removal (entire interior or spot)? 3. Should I install noise dampening material or OEM type padding before laying carpet?

Allright all, A few questions regarding carpet replacement. 1. What is the best replacement carpet available? 2. Does the carpet cover the areas where there is diamond vinyl/plastic? 3. Do the carpet kits cover the shock towers? 4. I recently visited a site where i saw electric blue carpet kits as well as many other colors. Can anyone lead me in the right direction again?

Gracias, MPerdue, I knew the thing about the caps in back of my mind, forget because most of my usernames and passwords are case sensitive to caps. Yes, my z runs great, and looks good cosmetically from the exterior as well, just need new pans and all new interior components. Please give me the welder info if it "PANS" out. Pardon the pun! Thanx again, Mike Harrington
