No glue!

Congrats on your wonderful find!! I'd like to see more pictures too. Best of luck in your big move too!

just because you can does not mean you should. ;-)

Dave -- Glad to hear! Sounds like time for some beers all the way around.

Welcome to the group! If you ever make it up north (Loveland - Ft Collins) , the NoCo Z club would be happy to meet you. We do a variety of mountain / canyon cruises through the driving season, you're welcome to join along. Cheers, Glen

Check Denver Bumper Works for hole patch & rechrome, excellent work, reasonable prices.

To be clear on the over rider difference... the 73 front over rider bar is narrower than the 69-72 over rider bar. The bumper horns are moved in on the '73 bumper when compared to the '72. You can see that in Bonzi Lon's pictures.

Local pawn shops? Often you can find name-brand, high-quality tools there as well.

The visible rust would be enough to make me think of passing on it. I'd check the next "usual suspects" -- battery tray, dog legs, rocker panels, inner front fenders, rear fender wells, hatch..... Pictures would help the assessment a lot!

Hi Craig - Do a search for "headlight switch". I believe you'll find a lot of good info. Typically, it's the switch (on the steering column) or bad grounds. The manual is your friend www.xenons30.com

I've had decent luck by putting vice grips over the flare wrench -- keeps the flare wrench from spreading and doesn't tear up the nut on the brake line. Squirt them down with PB-Blaster or the home-brew 50-50 acetone & Automatic Transmission Fluid first. A few choice words later, and you should be good to go.

Chrome carriage bolts from your local Ace hardware would work. Another option would be to send to Denver Bumper Works and have them weld the holes and rechrome the bumpers. I had mine done that way, as have a few others in the forums and they do incredible work. Note -- I am only a happy customer of Denver Bumper Works and have no financial relationship with them (despite wishing I did )

240Z evaporator tanks are plastic. I wonder if JB Weld or other epoxy would make the repairs if that is your issue.. Good luck!
