Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my Blog devoted to the restoration of my 1972 Datsun 240z. I purchased it in 2013 and have been actively working on my driving-restoration, so I can enjoy the car rather than having it in pieces for years. Please enjoy the write-ups below, as well as the how-to's. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any comments or questions. Thanks. - Dave

Purchase


Well I found a deal I couldn't pass up.  A 1972 240z in Georgetown, TX that is being sold by the original owner (yes a 40 year old car with only 1 owner!).  It does have some minor rust in the rear fenders and the paint is very heavily oxidized on the outside surfaces....but no structural rust!  The deal includes a wealth of spare parts and two sets of seats.  Only challenge is shipping it upto Chicago, but I was able to get a pretty good deal with DAS and an expected delivery date or 23-April-2012.

When this car is 'all done' it will no longer be brown and the horrible 'gold' hubcaps will be replaced with a set of nice alloy wheels.  I'm looking to keep it period correct and a reliable car that I could drive on a daily basis if I so chose to.
