This is going to be my first method of action. I have access to a complete machine shop so even if the WRX journals are slightly larger I can mill them out. I don't plan on buying a whole new shaft and everything, seeings the u joint is the only bad thing on it. Thanks for everyone's replies

Does anyone know where I can get the small U-joints that are in the steering linkage? I've looked all over the net but I can't seem to find any information on them. I punched mine out and all the needle bearings are flat

.

I hope you're referring to the tie rod end itself?

Does anyone have spare tie rod end left and right hand thread nuts? Mine got tossed and I need new ones. The cheap tie rods I bought didnt come with them

Haha! Looks like you had quite a time. Thanks for the great link, it answers everything I was going to ask

hahaha!!!!

I once saw on ebay a Z with a rear window that looked exactly like a Pantera; the sides were high and there was a cavity in the back with a vertical window. I'll look on my hard drive and see if I saved the picture.

Yes, just to be different. I'm also going to see if I can relocate the gas filler neck to underneath the license plate, as well as a few other things.

Yes, this would be my primary and pretty much sole concern. Having a fuel cell up top and mounting the tire underneath is a great idea too. Glad I posted this question, I got some different angles now Keep the suggestions coming!

Wow. That's a great idea. Why didn't I think of that.

Yeah but only in a straight line

Has anyone here ever done/considered this? I'm restoring a '71 and one of the ideas I have is to make the car a fastback instead of a hatchback. I replaced floorpans and parts of the subframe with heavier gauge metal, so the car is stiffer than it was stock, and I'm putting the L24 back in the car next year. My main concern is what the torsional effects of driving the car may have on the rear window if I do in fact decide to mount it permanently. Or should this not be a concern? Thanks.

I'm well on my on a resto for my '71, and I have the heater box completely out and taken apart. All the foam rubber is rotten/gone, some of the cables are broken and the heater core leaks like a sieve. Has anyone successfully used an entire heater box from a different car for one of these 240z's? Something with a better fan and improved flow? I have a lot of fabrication skills and practise, so knowing what box from what car will fit under the dash would be a very useful bit of information for me It's kind of something that you can't really use trial and error for, ya know? If all else fail I will follow bjhines' thread step by step 8)

Please!! Anyone?
