Yes I agree, it's coming out to play again and I'd reproduce the colour too. I'm sure I've seen this car 'in it's day'.

I agree with Rob keep it the same colour.

 

[status]

Yes rob it was a really nice maroon that suited

 

[johnymd]

Were there any more "tales from the garden shed"?

 

[Rob Gaskin]

I enjoyed reading the 'tales...' and learnt a bit too.

I was surprised he removed 1/3 of the weight from a 280ZX flywheel, that's about 7lbs!

So John have you got that exact same engine with the car?

I joined the Club in 95/96 and got my car in 96 so I must have seen this car, did it go to the Goodwood meet we had about that time? I'll have to find my old pics.

 

[johnymd]

Comes with that engine, complete and ready to go. Very low milage as not used for long. Also a bored 2.8 with fourways big valve head and the 2.4 with spike head. Ots of other interesting bits like rose jointed adjustable front arms, modified front crossmember, leda adjustable suspensions that looks like its never been used, autometer gauges plus originals, bored out 40's, spare r200, and more to come.

 

[johnymd]

Colour choice?

 

[datsun dave]

John what was the cars original colour ?

 

[johnymd]

Silver and I don't like that either. The only silver Z I really like is John Pryns silver car because its not a normal silver. The main problem is I want the car to not look like someone elses but still be an original 240z colour, or should I say color as I'm mainly looking at US colors. That's why I'm looking at the least common colours. My first choice would have been the lime green yellow but as Terry is painting his that colour I had to find something else.

 

[johnymd]

I had thought about yours Dave as that's also one of my favourite colour Z's but as I cant copy someone else. I need to be different.

 

[johnymd]

Franky - Did you paint your car orange? If so what colour did you choose.?

 

[johnymd]

Just seen your car and it does look a little too close to what I'm after. Original 240 colour?

 

[GTR-240Z]

All the best colours are taken John, think this colour is right up your street though

 

[datsun dave]

What about 113 green metallic ? I have alway liked that on a Z

 

[johnymd]

Not bad (the green NOT the pink) but no.
