This forum post will outline my restoral of my 1973 Nissan FairladyZ. I purchase the car ( with the help of a friend ) from a guy in Washington State. He used to run a Z shop in the 80's-90's, but had decided to get rid of his collection of early Datsun/Nissans.
I purchase the car for a very reasonable $1800... The car was a roller, and most of the pc's are there.
On further inspection, #'s match, Original L20A, It has the very rare "Rally-Clock", and the passenger foot rest, which was a added option.
Once I got it home, and began to tear into it, I had a nice surprise.. The OE color was WHITE ( very happy ), as over 60% were silver, and white is going to make a great looking car. Also found 2 Japanese coins in the cracks, that prove without a doubt ( not that there was any ) it was from Japan.
I'll be updating as I can, with the disassembly of the car, and any headway I make on her.
Cheers,
B.
