All I could think of was...ACK!!! Paint Job!!!!

Yikes...that's just creepy...

Nice find Mike...that was awesome...

We're silently judging you for past Honda ownership... Just kidding. Welcome to the board! FSM: Try carfiche.com...they have an electronic copy of the FSM for an '82. Swaps: motor may be cheap...doing it right still costs a bundle... Sorry to hear about your dad's health problems. Nothing like a nice spin in a Z to make them disappear for a while.

This is down the street from me. It's a wreck. The interior is completely stripped (although the guy at the shop said the owner has everything at his house). When I asked the guy about the car, he said it was a 1972 (so much for "knowledge"). I noticed the hatch vents, but just thought it was a swap...(I know, I should have picked up on the lack of vents on the pillars, guess I wasn't any smarter). Hmm...never thought to check the VIN #. Zak. I might have a line on a door for you. I need a driver's side (why I stopped to look at this car) and I'm going to check out a pair this weekend. I'll let you know. Cheers,

Nice touch with the Floyd...

Yes...sometimes posting is ssslllooowww....but don't hit refresh or back and then re-click the post button...it causes a double post.

There's a guy up here who is trying to get that swap done. I know one of the mechanics he's brought it to. Challenge is that the body of his '72 is pretty rusty/weak so no one wants to touch the project. And that's beyond hella fast...and can be driven on the road... I'm not a fan of V8 swaps (although a couple of Nissan V8 swaps have been intriguing), but at least the 2jz is Japanese (and one hell of an engine, not that hard to get 700+ out of them and I've seen a number of them quoted at 1,000+, but a little suspicious of how viable that is). Ken, you can send a message to the guy through his Youtube page. Get him on the board. Cheers,
