    Im gonna do some resto work, and some mods... prolly gonna keep it carb'd-no swaps maybe some mild valvetrain work, and soem bolt-ons. I want to have a reliable, hard running car that i can drive every day, and autocross from time to time. The big thing i want to install is a small roll cage with a harness bar and a set of better seats. HTe seat belt retractors have almost completely died, and i want to be safe when im out enjoying the car. Im also gonna install a blaupunkt cd player that ive got at the house, but ive gotta get everything together to install it, including looking up how to mount it in the dash. Anyone got any links thaey can point me to? thanks again everyone!

    Thanks for the big welcome guys... The hitch is already gone I'll see if i can post some pictures... bear in mind that ive cleaned a lot of the mess up under the hood... it runs better, but its still running reaaaly ruch. Can anyone tell from the pictures if im right in saying that i have round top SU's? I have been told that the car had a header, cam, and a set of webers on it at one time, but i dont think any of those items are present. Your thoughts and advice are greatly appreciated... Thanks everyone!

    hte interior is in decent shape... Its got one good crack in the dash, and the seats are a bit rough... most of the interior is all there-it just needs a really thourough cleaning. Im probably gonna do a lot like what you have already done. My first challenge is to get the carbs straightened out (running really rich, and being REALLY cold-natured), then its gonna be suspension work-its in dire need of bushings/struts/springs. How do you like the tokico springs and struts? Which urethane bushings do you have?

    Ive been a fan of the z cars for many years, and have looked at several, until, i decided to buy one. Its a 73 thats in pretty good shape, considering i know very little abou the car's history, other than the same fellow has owned it for about the last 10 years. lemme see if i cna get some pictures to work: You can see more pictures in my galleries at http://carpron.com/multisite/v/Upload/A5295/ Over look that hitch that he "made to fit" on the car-its nwo been removed, and ive gone toward soem bigger and better things with the car. I am tryng to learn as much as i can, especially considering this is the first car ive ever owned that i havent had what some would call the luxury of efi, but i really liek thae carb setup-i just need to learn a LOT more about them. Im sure i'll be asking questions, so be ready. Ive even got one now-does anyone know what kind of wheels those are? TIA for the welcome... -Michael
