Since it ran tonight 
, I thought it was time to share my new project with the world.
It's a 1970 240z. I sort of inherited it from my uncle since he had no interest in finishing it. It's sat in it's current state in his garage since 1985. Race car project that never got finished.
New fuel lines and a jug of fuel next to the car got it running tonight, and it runs well.
The car has the Jim Cook racing rear fender flares, some sort of reproduction fiberglass fenders (with terrible fit) on the front, and that questionable hood scoop. Apparently it also has cut springs, but it certainly looks pretty high to me. The floors and rockers have been replaced and the car is surprisingly rust free.
I still need to do a lot of stuff, and the list is smaller if I just say getting the engine to run is something I no longer need to do.
The list of stuff to do:
- Body work and paint...
- Get rust out of fuel tank and run lines the rest of the way back to it
- See if the brakes work and repair where necessary
- Same for the clutch
- New u joints
- Wheel bearings
- Wheels and tires appropriate for large rear flares
- Replace the suspension in it's entirety. Shocks, springs, bushings, etc...
- Change the rest of the fluids (did an oil change before attempting to start)
- Install the kirkey seat from my old miata as seats that were in the car were destroyed by mice.
- etc...
