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

Polishing the Valve cover

I started cleaning up the valve cover by hand and then moved upto the bench grinder with a buffing wheel on it. Check out the hand vs tool results on the back side of the cover!

Before, 40 years of gunk all over
Left: polishing by hand, Right: bench grinder/buffer
Almost done, still need to use the dremel for the small areas
