Beautiful car, congrats on getting her finished! Enjoy the ride! :classic:

You have done an outstanding job Filipe! The results are beautiful and I realize the difficulty and expense of obtaining parts in Portugal. It is great that David helped you in that regard. My hat is off to him and you also for the excellent work!

Nice Job! I really like the grey spoilers / tailight finisher with the green!

Very, very nice. The rebuild on that car has been a labor of love, obviously.

What wheels are those, Filipe?

[FilipeA]

Hi

That wheels are the magnesium wheels that were standard on the Fairlady 432 and 432-R.

Those wheels were standard in every Portuguese 240z`s car at the time. I guess they are rare and beautifull as well.

I guess Alan can say a little more about that, but from another conversation with Z experts, i guess Portugal was a lucky country by have them in all Z.

Many thanks to all coments here

Also if you search on this forum or in Google, you will see lots of pics of the Fairlady 432 and see the wheels, they are the same.

Thanks

Filipe

Filipe,

Are your wheels like the ones on your Z easy to find in Portugal today? I've coveted a set for quite a while, but generally gave up hope.

Thanks,

Jay

Lovely car Felipe.

Congratulations.

Hi

Sometimes they came by, but it is rare.

I saw once a set of these for sale in Yahoo Japan for 5.000,00 USD, unfortunatly it was not sold.

But they are very appreciated there.

Thanks

Filipe

I'd love to have a set of those rims on my car. Beautiful!

Hi Filipe:

Your Z looks wonderful - you have to be very proud of it.

When David comes to visit us in Florida - we put him to work!!

Here's a picture of David sitting on a friends car - his Uncle is standing next to him. By the time they left we had the car stripped to a bare shell and ready to go to the body shop. Standing to the far right is Jim, that's his garage.

FWIW,

Carl B.

Clean green Z man. I'll be doing mine in a similar color, and seeing this one and a few others on this site have me convinced that's a good choice. Now it's time to turn some heads and make a few people drool like only a Z can!

Great job Filipe, I am also green with good envy! How often do you plan on driving it?
