Daily driver/Project Car/Restoration candidate. Currently has a different transmission(4spd) and engine(2.6L) than original, but I have the original transmission and engine, and therefore it is a numbers matching car. 2" x 2" rust on inside of rear hatch, 1" x 1" on the roof, and a little near the battery, nowhere else that I am aware of. The seats are in need of refreshing. Crack in dash. Dent in front hood (see picture). New battery. Mr K autographed air intake. Currently registered, I have owned the car since 1999. Car is located in San Jose. Also included: 2 ton engine hoist, engine stand, original engine, and original transmission - I need the garage space. These items must go with the car. If you have other questions please let me know, gregbecker@hotmail.com. I can provide additional pictures as requested. I am selling to pursue AFM motorcycle racing thing for the next few years. Zip file with pictures available upon request.

Hello Joseph - yes, I think that they are similar to those you have pictured. I think that I will just wait for the backordered ones. Only a week away... Greg PS - These are the ones that I am talking about at MSA: http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=PRC02C

All, Looking to replace my driveshaft u-joints preferrably with aftermarket. They are back-ordered at MSA till the 26th, which isn't that long, but would prefer to finish up the job this coming weekend... Any ideas on other sources for Spicer u-joints for a 240Z driveshaft? Manufactures part number would be ideal as well. Are the stock u-joints just as good for a stock engine? Thanks, Greg

Enrique - thanks for the info, I am very certain that the keys are gone, I turned the house upside down yesterday looking for them, and could find them anywhere. I know from before that all of the locks on my Z are the same, the core in the glove box will be very easy to get to, I'll post my results in a few days, either success, or failure. Thanks, Greg

Hello All, The Z has been parked for the last few months, and I was going to bring it into the garage for some TLC this weekend, I went to grab the keys and they're not there. The car is unlocked in the driveway so I can get into it, but I need to know what I can to do to go about having new keys made. I saw a post on this forum, about getting a code number off of a door lock cylinder and taking it to a locksmith to get new keys made. Is this what I should do or is there another way? I'm in San Jose CA if anyone can recommend a locksmith that they have used with success. Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Greg Becker '72 240Z white/Red

You'll wanna make sure that your water is flowing too. Make sure that you get a temp reading, and that you are getting oil pressure when you do fire it up. The previous replies are a great list of to-do's. In my case I wanted to make sure that the engine would at least run, and old gas was my biggest problem. After I remedied that everything was cool. Now that my car is running the valve job and timing is on the list for tonite. Then to re-adjusting the carbs, since that is the order to do things in. Good luck, Greg

Hey Guys, I really hope that I'll be able to make it, it will be my first meet when actually owning a Z. I am in the process of swapping the motor in my Z, while I rebuild the original motor, my current plan is to have it ready by the end of July, just in time for the meet. We'll see how it goes. Hope to make it and meet some Bay Area Z owners. Greg Becker '72 240 - soon to have a L26 while the L24 gets rebuilt

Hey all, Looking for a decent engine to drop in my '72 240, while I spend time rebuilding the stock motor, that project could take a few years or so. I'd like something reliable that doesn't need more than a tune-up, doesn't really matter to me if its a 2.4 or 2.8 engine. I thought that someone may have a 2.4 engine laying around after they converted to a 2.8, that they would let go for cheap. Looking in the Bay Area, Thanks, Greg gregbecker@hotmail.com
