Poundz9oh9 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I went to go talk to the guy who bought my car today, and saw that it was virtually untouched. I was under the impression that they were going to start work on it right away. I got to talking to him and it turns out that his son decided that he wanted to get an SS Camaro instead of fixing up an OLD Datsun...... Long story short he wanted to get rid of it and I didn't have it in me to let him sell it to somebody else...... So he offered to sell it back to me ... Needless to say I wrote him a check on the spot and basically gave him his money back. Now with me not going to Cuba afterall, I have my 'work' garage back. I go pick it up Sunday --- wooo hooo!! Wait till you guys see what I've got planned for it .. Did alot of thinking when I was Z-less and came up with some good stuff. Nothing that deviates from the previous plan, just some "updates" to it.............. Stay Tuned!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poundz9oh9 Posted October 9, 2004 Author Share Posted October 9, 2004 Wow! Thanks for the welcome back guys............ Z-rex I might have to take you up on that ..... is the block buildable? I mean, whats the bore and condition presently? I've been up that way a couple times. I picked up a parts car from L.I. and delivered my old L24 to a kid in Maryland....so I'm not past the drive Ok, group hug time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z-REX Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 kinda thought you'd be into the idea... to tell you the truth, i examined the block pretty closely and found no damage. it's painted orange, i think that's the only aspect of the block that's not as untouched as mother teresa's secret garden... i know it sat in the garage of the guy i picked it up from for years, but i never really tore it apart to find out much. my turbo 240 popped up, project v8z got shelved. this wasn't a half-started project engine... it's basically as stock as it gets. it currently is in long-term residence in my father-in-law's garage, so no rush whatsoever. i sure bet he'd be glad to see me start getting some of my stuff out of there!!!

Poundz9oh9 Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 That's outstanding. My faith in the Z car community is on its way back to where it used to be.. Any chance I could get the casting # off of the block?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poundz9oh9 Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 wow dude, go to bed ....!! At least I have a reason to be up this late. I'm at work. All joking aside. You have no idea how much it's appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-REX Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 hey i have a reason... i'm off tomorrow for the first time in 7 days! i finally got a little time to spend at my third home! every side of the z community has helped me out at one time or another, especially from here at hybrid... just my way of giving back i guess. besides, if something i owned could end up in that car it's a wonderful life!
