Got more rust sorted out on the "wilma" build. Rear of drivers door jamb was toast. Rockers are in. Its getting there.
I never kept up on this thread however an update. This car is still running great. MS is sorted and the car is a blast to drive. It ran a 13.90 the first pass at the drag strip and handles great...
Depends on state. Really would have a hard time at the DMV here in MD without a title even with a signed bill of sale.
Congrats!
I've got my R200 up. New diff front mount. New rear T3 rear arms. Eibachs and kyb's. I have to relocate the fuel pump because the R200 mustache bar sits further back than the R180 hanger. Coming...
Very sorry to hear it. Hope you recover quickly and glad it wasn't any worse for you.
Took the L24 Z for a blast in the country. She ran very good today considering she's been in hibernation for quite some time. Can't wait for spring.

Not exactly the kind of car i'd expect at a barrett jackson but really cool you bought it. I wonder how the value of purchase for what a "purist" would look for in a 240z, totally stock unmolested...
I'd love to have another L28ET long block to build
Exactly :)
Not going to get into octane, Your "peppiness" could be related the the driveline gearing.
Much more economical repair than sourcing one. Those covers have fetched some serious cash lately from what i've seen.
I chose to do mine in the reverse order. My fronts are all nice shiny and fresh. I've got to do my rear suspension next. Shouldnt be too bad since i'm replacing the rear arms in the process. Looks...
I also agree they work and ride great. Also check for binding. Tightening everything up really really tight after changing everything without letting it settle could be part of it. One of the...
yeah, same brakes, $200 more for red paint. Its a joke. They brake just the same being black so its an obvious choice for me. I want that set up because other upgrades i've seen might have fitment...
LOL. The real work hasn't started yet. I'm not looking forward to changing this rear end and suspension. 40 year old bolts never play nice. I've got to come pay you a visit. I need to get that...
HAHAHA you are right. I'm in pretty deep. Willwoods are on the list. Just don't know if I can swallow the 200 extra for red. Come on really? $200 extra. Thats just not right. The springs are just...
ACT heavy duty clutch is on its way. Bought another MS. I bought a PCB3.0 so I can do it start to finish a second time. I'm just sick in the head sometimes. Either way i'm exited. Merry Christmas...
Love that pick of the transmission blowing giblets. Glad no one was hurt. Awesome.
Very related. Cool car, a Z wannabe :) Well maybe the other way around considering the price! Very cool none the less.
Yeah. More frowns today than smiles, I roasted a brand new turbo clutch today. Ah well, I'll just buy a ACT this time.
Well I hope you make out ok. I just finished mine up and got a shower. Its always nice when you lay your head back on the concrete into a puddle of used motor oil. I was very surprised at how bad...
I tuned the MS maps a little more tonight after fixing a few small coolant leaks. I've had a few pop up here and there since swapping in this engine. I think i'll have a few more pop up around the...
