HuD 91gt Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I’m very jealous! Sometimes I wish I still had a carb’d bird. I would have driven it the last two years!! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 940kgs under 🤣 Ya, my mistake - my old brain had ton = 1200 lbs stuck in it, rather than the CORRECT ton = 2000 lbs. Good thing I'm not selling things by the pound... Nothing to see here... Never-the-less, decent weight for a complete Z car. Edited May 22, 2019 by cgsheen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Built by Jeff Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 The 680g is finally registered and in this episode I get to take it out on the road. Spoiler, it sounds awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverdone Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Speedhut makes GPS Speedometers that are available in KPH. They look nice and will solve your issue with an inaccurate gear driven speed reading. https://www.speedhut.com/gauge/GRM4-GPS-03T/1/GPS-Speedometer-260km-h-Metric-(w--turn-signal-and-high-beam) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Built by Jeff Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 It was a long build, but my Datsun 240z affectionately know as the 680g is done. Here is the whole build from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Tech Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) great job!!, i enjoyed watching. it was actually refreshing to see you be honest and point out a flaw here and there. you couldve just not shown those parts and lead us to believe it was "perfect" like most would do. i was restoring my car along the same time and it helped to see that you can try to make things perfect but there is going to be something along the way out of your control that makes it just off perfect and thats ok. my name is jeff too so it was great purchasing your shirts so i have shirts that say "home built by jeff" ... anyway, great job. ill look for what you have to rebuild next...

Home Built by Jeff Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 This is my 3rd attempt at repairing my dash and hopefully the last. This time I have a go at flocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Built by Jeff Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Yes, the 680G is officially For Sale. After 2 years building it, I unfortunately need to move it on to keep plowing ahead with the Alfarrari and 911 builds. In this video I do the final few touches to finish it off.
