Interesting Idea on wall art! I was thinking of restoring a 240Z dash and hanging it on the wall complete with a plug in adapter that would light up the meters. Or maybe clean up a spare set of...

Interesting Idea on wall art! I was thinking of restoring a 240Z dash and hanging it on the wall complete with a plug in adapter that would light up the meters. Or maybe clean up a spare set of...
The brakes smoked 30 years ago on my first Z and it turned out that the brake piston got stuck.
I made one out of a piece of radiator hose clamp with a sement ground off in a bench grinder so that two ears stick out. Hope that made sense.
Try pushing/pulling the turn signal stalk towards you and away from you.
They sell "parts grabbers" that look like a long spring with a spring loaded angled wire jaws on the end that might work though that hole might be too small. A skinny long stiff steel wire (or...
I have been inside one of the barns, I think there is just one. The barn is packed with Zs and there were many Zs outside as I recall from being there 5 years ago. The barn roof appeared to have a...
What I discovered is that the charger I had wanted to overcharge causing acid to come out. I bought a battery tender and it doesn't overcharge the battery so it does not release acid. My thinking...
Thanks Chris.
Little known tech secret, batman's batmobile had the time machine option. It was expensive, but well worth it.
Chris,
You are right there are a lot of good parts. If it doesn't sell it is coming to California with me. I already removed the dash and instruments and stainless steel parts. The parts are...
Not sure who would want to know this but my 1972 parts car is for sale on craigslist for $100. I don't want to have to move it when I move.

Throwing dynamite seems a better option than laying on top of it (near the end).
I think I will abandon the car cover idea. Thanks for the ideas. I have a car I keep covered (not the Z) and the wind started wearing off the paint so I got those large spring clips to hold the...
Has anyone towed a 240Z for 800 miles with a car cover on it? I like to keep my car out of the sun when I can though I know that a car cover flapping in the wind can wear off paint. I do have a...
I have noticed in Oregon that some stations sell their premium as non ethanol. In Idaho I always burn non ethanol but I have to go to one of a few stations to get it.
That looks really nice.
Don't have a tranny here but someone has one on a local craigslist.

Are you anywhere near the Humboldt county area?
I bolted a rear bumper on my car...
I check the classifieds infrequently maybe every month but I don't need parts right now. Because I can't make the search function for forums work that well I like the current classifieds better than...
My learning experience with poor grounds doing weird things was with an old Pontiac my late dad had. When you hit the brakes the interior lights on the door would come on. I never forgot that...
You gotta figure, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between OEM back bumper rubber strips and rubber strips made from old slicks or Home Depot threshold strips at, say, a distance of 1/4...
Now THOSE are creative ideas.

Being a professional tightwad at times I looked at making bumper rubber from black household door thresholds.
Don't bogart that bottle, my friend, pass it over to me...
I may be missing something but your picture files appear to be too large. The 128 MB I imagine is the sum total maximum of all pictures uploaded for the ad but each individual JPG can only be 1.91...
Can you maneuver to the file on your computer that you want to upload to see the file extension for it? Also it may be too large or have to much resolution see allowed sizes I found below. The...
