I may not have worked on either of the cars lately, but I didn take a few minutes and purchase yet ANOTHER domain name! http://www.project240z.com I hope to actually track the project's status over there with a place to feature all the videos and other information about the car.

The new ride is now rolling on 20s! Why you might ask? Because they were a great deal at the time of purchase. I have these wheels and the stock set of wheels/tires to put back on when the weather turns for the worse. Between the 5 cars in the driveway/garage there are 20 wheels and tires on the ground, that's in addition to the 12 extra wheels ...

Well, it's been just over two months since I picked up the Project 240Z from Krekeler. Today I successfully pulled the motor and transmission from the car. It took me a few hours today, in some of the hottest weather of the year. If you watch in the video below you'll see I aim the fan at me whenever I move around the car :) Also in the video, ...

Project 240Z Engine is almost ready to pull! I got the driveshaft disconnected today and the transmission is free of its mount. I just have a few things left to do, mainly hook the hoist up to the motor so I can pull the whole assembly free. To do that though I need to go buy a new change. The chain I've got now, from Krek, has some huge hooks on ...

Here's a quick video of me out in the garage today. Funny to watch, though not much progress to be seen.  

Well, it's been nearly a month since I last worked on the 240Z, had a few events in there, July 4th, and various other activities keeping me away from the car, but mostly it was just me being lazy. So today I spent a couple hours out in the garage wrenching. I got just about everything left that needs to be disconnected to pull the motor ...

I spent the afternoon running around town. I first took the battery from the 280 into Autozone, hoping it would be able to take a charge. Of course it didn't, so I ended up buying the cheapest battery I could. I also picked up a siphon kit and a gas can so I could drain the tank a bit. I got some new gas, put some in the car, along with the new ...

Just a quick post. It's getting late, and I'm sick so I should probably take some nyquil and hit the sack. I picked up the new Z today, tonight actually. Thanks to Dave from SoloPerformance.com for lending me his services again, just like last week. We got the car home around 8:45 this evening. After a few minutes of trying to get it up the ...

How many Zs is too many? I hope not 3, because Sunday evening a 3rd Z will be making its way to the driveway! I'm picking up Lynn's 78 280Z 2+2 for parts. So, that begs the question, how many Zs is too many? I also came across a website that has quite a few custom parts that I may have to acquire for the project. www.arizonazcar.com has what ...

Dave and I went and picked up the newest project today. A 1973 240Z, and also a 1983 280ZX motor. Here are some pics. More blogging about this project and its future later tonight! I'm off to take part of the L28ET motor apart and see what it looks like on the inside. http://sccaforums.com/photos/christoc/category1050.aspx
