azkyinc Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone. I just started my own 1973 240z project. I would like to know what you think and if anyone has any suggestion. For now im just getting it street worthy but eventually this will end up as a full restore project. Like i said its a 1973 240z with the typical rust issues, a bob sharp holley carb upgrade and headers, as far as i know. Its runs good after countless attempts at using a bigger carb and failing. suspension needs replacing and interior is in decent shape. Ive fix all electrical issues except for the windshield wipers only working when spray button is pressed after turning the knob to any speed. That's all i can remember for now. I have posted pics of when i first got her and as she looks now. I'm sure there is more. Thanks everyone Edited April 5, 2012 by azkyinc Images way to large. Please resize before posting.

78zstyle Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 What are your goals with it? A Carb'd l28 can actually be pretty zippy with some slight upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azkyinc Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 For now its my daily driver so suspension and brakes are my next upgrade just to make it drive better. eventually its to have a turbo setup because when i first bought it. The Z came with a holley car swap that the secondary barrels were lock up for 12 years while it was siting in the previous owners garage. so i purchase a larger 600 cfm carb but it just wouldn't run right so i rebuilt the old 390 cfm, its running decent now. but i kept the bigger carb because i was told that with some boost it will actually run right and give me some extra HP. hopefully while im collecting the required parts i can also get the floor pans replace due to heavy rust. The last owner fix the problem by gluing street signs and screwing them it. lol. I have a few progress pics ill be posting as soon as my internet connection starts to speed up. I'm also open to any ideas and suggestion since this is my first Z and sometimes i think im way over my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
