Dusty Z

paint session

Goodbye red Z....I'm sure your new owner will have you up to speed in no time.

From home last month

and a neat video/song that it wont let me embed for some reason.

Today I got to working on the 240z again, got the carbs off the car, dissasembled and soaking in lacquer thinner (aka liquid death) for at least 24 hours to get 40 years worth of crap off them. I've got new jets, needles and gaskets waiting to go in when everything's all cleaned up.

Some quickies.

The Quest for the Z

So today Jason and I drove all the way across the great big boring everglades, to Cape Coral, FL to see this car. It has potential. Owner and I agreed on a decent price. This hunk of junk very well could be in my driveway next weekend, oh noes!!!

"30 year old cars are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

I did as much as I could, tested compression, floorboards, framerails, started the car on starter fluid, etc. It's gonna need alot of work to be decent.



Anyways, buddy Jason took some crazy stormy sunset everglades pictures on the way back (I75 otherwise known as Alligator Alley looks like the pictures for 100ish miles straight)
