buff_n3rd Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 First post and thought I would start it off by saying Hi and introducing the '73 240z I picked up yesterday. I have lots of plans but I want to go through and make sure I neutralize any rust first. Seems to be very very minimal from what I have seen thus far. I hope to get more pictures up soon and possibly a multi year build log. Previously owned a '93 rx-7 heavily modded but after apex seal after apex seal, kids, house, I gave up on cars. Fast forward 10 years and I have something to play with again. Hope to make it a daily driven road car. When I say daily driven I mean weekend driver at most. I have a Rav 4 for my daily kid hauler. My 10 year old son is already looking forward to helping me wrench on this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmoralesbello Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Welcome and congrats! One of the things I've enjoyed more about working on my Z is getting my 13 year old son involved in the decision making and the wrenching. These memories will keep forever for both of us and the understanding is that the Z is OURS, not just mine.

beermanpete Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Nice! You might want to tighten the #1 spark plug a bit ;-} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimO Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Welcome. If you're are ever in the Nevada City area, give me a hallar! I've been working, modifying and racing Z's for over 40 years. Original owner of a 72 240z. Father son project....Good for you! I too had a father son project project, my son's first car, a 71 510. Our project launched my son's mechanical engineering career. Great times. Great memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He builds things he sees on TV not what was supposed to be built. He has said 3 years ago at 7 that he wants to be an engineer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
