~KnuckleDuster~ Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Very nice! Good to see her waking up Thanks, she idles and revs great. I just need to make some repairs to the clutch hard line and I can take her out on the road. I ordered some Doral SDL70A 205/70/14 tires and had them mounted on the Panteras. Here's and idea of the look. Vintage race feel Just waiting on the lug nuts to get here and I will throw them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datz44 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 My 240 came with the same wheels. What size are they? Looks rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~KnuckleDuster~ Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) The first drive I took it on it ran hot and the radiator sprung a leak. I changed it out for an extra one I had laying around and it fixed the overheating problem but then it was running to cold. Found out there wasn't a thermostat at all. I put in a thermostat and it stays right smack in the middle now. Drives nice, suspension feels great. Upon breaking the car pulls slightly to the right but overall a fun ride for just getting back on it's legs again. Took it for it's first drive out of the neighbor hood on an extremely rare snowy day. Next up getting the exhaust welded up Friday hopefully. When I parked to take this picture a group of young kids around 14 were walking by and one asked, what kind of car is that? I told him a Datsun 240z. He told his friends "I told you so!" Another kid, " I thought it was a Ferrari".. Another kid, "I thought it was a Lamborghini" Edited January 1, 2015 by ~KnuckleDuster~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow?" Then I realized it snowed yesterday/today. Had the hint from a buddy who lives in Temacula, and she was building a snowman down there haha.

~KnuckleDuster~ Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Well I ended up selling the Z to a nice high school kid and his dad. The car will be placed in his schools auto shop class for a couple years getting fixed up even more and will inspire a new generation. KD out.
