Hello from Denver

[maximmagnum]

Hi,

Two of my cars were recently wrecked by a drunk driver (a VW Jetta and a Dodge Ram Van), so instead of buying a new junker to get around in, I've decided I'm going to fix up my old 1972 Fairlady Z, that has been waiting for me since I left college and joined the Army.

I'm hoping to make it nice and clean, somewhat modified, but tastefully so (eg. new rims, etc...don't plan on changing the lines of the car)

wish me luck!

James

Good Luck! You'll have lots of fun. You say Fairlady Z, is it a Japan Market vehicle? Everyone wants to see pics!

Hello! There is a lot of useful information available on this site. Search and have fun.

(Hope the drunk driver wasn't a close friend or relative...)

It is a Japanese market Fairlady Z, right hand drive, Titled in Arizona currently...apparently taken back from Japan by a service-member.

It needs work for sure...and I don't have the original 2.0L motor that came with it, so it is going to get a 2.4L from a 1971 240Z that I also have (but is in pretty poor shape body wise, but the engine is strong).

Unfortunately I stored the vehicles in Arizona when I finished up going to college out there, and haven't had a chance to get out and get work done on it. The tires are flat, and it's super dusty, but luckily it is pretty dry out there in Phoenix, so I shouldn't have to worry about it rusting to pieces while I was away.

Funny, I don't have any pictures of it, since I bought it before I even owned a cell phone, let alone a camera phone, and I didn't have a camera either...now I've got several cameras, but it's hard to get a picture of something in another state...sorry (you wouldn't be impressed anyway, it needs work)
