Newb hi

Hey gang,

Just wanted to say hi. Great site here. Been lurking and learning a TON!

Just bought myself a 1970 240Z. #954. 174k miles. Drove it home today.

I am very excited about this. I owned a beat up '72 240 while in college years ago, and have been wanting another ever since. We've also had a bought from new 260Z, and a used 280Z, in the family.

Wow, can't believe I took the plunge. The Z is in pretty good shape. Pretty much stock and all there. Some rust on the rails below, and some rust here and there. Needs lots of freshening up, but I'm in no rush, so will get to things one at a time. Would like to strip the body down and get it dipped, or just stripped, but will figure that all out later. Right now just excited to have it. Will start the replace/repair list later.

Did take it for a short spin down the twisties here after setting the tire pressue, and oh boy, it brought back memories. Car feels real good, but like any 30 year old car, will need lots of work and $ to tighten it up and insure a long healthy life for it, hopefully another 30 years at least.

Added a few pics to the Photo Gallery section, but it looks like they're marked "image pending approval"?

Well, looking forward to Z car ownership and spending time here learning and sharing.

Ed has no confusion about wheter to Z or not, but Ed does! Wait for it!

Welcome Ed, soon you will learn to Z with the best of them-Ed might even teach you a thing or two. Now we will have proof that two 'Eds are better than one!

Yes, I know, Too many diapers too little air...

Thanks for the nice welcome guys!

I live in Duvall, WA, USA, its about 30 miles east of Seattle (I just updated my sig).

Hmm, so there's a cast of characters on this site too I see. Just like my dirtbike forums. Very cool.

Yeah, I'll have to call myself something else since Ed seems to be already taken. Hmm. Maybe Duvall Ed, or Eddie Z, or...
