Timber Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I have a 72 240Z that I bought in 2008 from its orignal owner in Denver. I currently live near Monument Colorado. This is my third Z car. I've owned a few over the years and have always come back to them. I have been working the bodywork for the last two years and am I'm getting ready to do a L28 swap. I'm going to be looking for advice on exhaust, suspension, brakes etc. through this forum. Looks like there is quite abit of experiance here. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 The 1972 Z is a great vehicle to start with. Old enough to pick up a few good product improvements, young enough not to be choked with too many smog devices. Quote Link to comment
Timber Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 When I was looking, I wanted to stay w/ the 240Z. It took over six months to find this one. I wanted something w/ minimal rust that was still restorable. After pulling it apart, this is what I found. Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Welcome aboard. I like that first pic. Say, if your gonna have that running soon you should look under events at the "multi state grand datsun classic", you may be close enough to make it Quote Link to comment

Timber Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I have sorted out all the issues with the L28. Started right up. Now I just need to drive it to midas or other muffler shop without getting pulled over. Quote Link to comment
