Pharaohabq: Thanks for the more encouraging words.

Hadn't thought about usin the carbs instead of the EFI will have to look into that!

Ok so here are a few of the 73 i have not seen the car in a couple years as it has been covered. When i uncovered it it looks in worse shape than i remembered!! uggghhh!! the engine bay is pretty clean, the inside is not in such great shape, i noticed a little rust in the inside door jamb at the floor seam, my green one doesnt have near the rust!! floors have no rust and battery has no rust i can waork on the surface rust i dont want to become a metal fabricator! I think what im gonna do is swap around parts to make the best car i can, then i will have to figure out what to do with the 73?? maybe trade it for a motor if anyone has a spare?? lots of choices now.

This is the 75 I will do pic's of the 73 tomorrow

I'll try to put up a couple pictures tomorrow if I can.

Ok so a couple days ago I was given a 73 240z that runs roughly and needs a little body work and new seals and interior is kinda rough. I was also given a 75 280z that doesn't run but the body and interior are in a lot better shape. both cars are 1 owner cars with less than 150000 miles on them. Which in your opinion mite be a better way to start in on a project? body work and minor engine work vs. a new motor and less body work? I realize this is kinda vague and is hard to judge without seeing the cars but I am just asking based on a more general aspect. Thanks in advance for your input!!

I'll take the drivers side door glass and hardware!!! I'll pm you!!

Yes that's exactly what I was gonna do... Thanks for the reminder

Awesome thanks!'

So someone suggested that I put alot of oil, like marvels into the cylinders and let it sit for a few days, does that sound like a good idea??

I don't know for sure if it will crank the owner said it would not turn over..

Ok I will try that after I take the plugs out and see if I can see anything in there. Thanks

The old owner said he put something in the cylinders but he couldnt remember what it was.. I will try looking in the cylindes and seeing if i can see anything also.. thanks

Well I just got a 280z for free, the owner said it ran about 2 years ago and he did'nt start it last year. He seems to think that the engine is seized?? would that be a possibility if it hasn't been run i a while? Is there a way to check and see if it is seized up? Is it Possible to turn the motor over by turning the crank with a socket and long handle? Is there anything you would look at specifically besides the fuel tank that might need replaced right off.?? Thanks for all help in advance I hace a feeling i'm gonna be on here ALOT over the next few month's, years !! haha thanks neil

sweet thanks!!!

2jz-gtte !!!!

How much would you charge to do a fuul motor swap?? in a 73 ? with a 2jzgtte

thanks dude the car looks f***in awesome

thanks for the help i will start with that i found out that it ran kinda rough when it was parked probably the carbs i hope i will go thru them and see from there. but i cant complain it was FREE body is in good shape. not much rust have to check the floor pans close though. thanks neil

Car looks sweet . What size tires and rims did you use??

so i have a 73 z that ran fine when it was last parked "five years ago" what and where would be the best place to start to see if it is still gonna run? what would be the best place to start replacing stuff if need be? i dont know how much fuel was in it when stored, at least it is covered? any ideas and help will be hugely appreciated.... thanks neil
