How do you mean, getting it back to its full glory? All the rust has been repaired, it has new rear arches, great paint, the interior's better than most and it runs fine. What more do you think it needs? And why would someone buy an LHD one for more?

Sensibly priced? If that's right where does it leave me? I've been trying to sell mine at about half that figure: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1973-Datsun-240Z-/262996785417?hash=item3d3bd47909:g:aN8AAOSwR29ZIbjx Where am I going wrong? Seriously, why can't I get anyone to even come and look at...

This one looks like trouble. Look at the panel fit at the door openings. Why are the rear side bumpers and rear wing recesses shorter than usual? Lots of overspray in the engine bay. Could this be an LHD 280Z with federal bumpers converted to RHD?

A friend of mine just sold his car and transferred the plate online instantly. I've left the personal reg on in case the car doesn't sell.

Hello All, I've just started a listing on eBay to sell my car, the one on the attached thumbnail. Please take a look, if you're interested. The item number is 262963725947 Jim

Nuts Here they are, though they're worse than I thought.

I'll do that today.

Try Speedshack.co.uk. Right at the top of the New Parts box on their homepage is a link to wheel nuts etc. I also have a set of Wolfrace sleeve nuts you can have, though they may not be much better than you have right now.

Back then, Fords and GM cars had black engine bays. GM cars even had black paint on the underside of their bonnets. Frosts sells Eastwood's "Underhood Black" paint for restorations. Chrysler car were the only ones with body coloured engine bays.

I'll be at my lock-up tomorrow. I'll take some pics and send them to you. Jim

I think I have a set of UK rear lights you can have. Not sure of their condition, though. I'm busy over the weekend but will take a look early next week.

I have a windscreen you can have but it's also in Devon. If the first one doesn't work out, let me know. Call me on 07831 382820 Jim

Very early Woolfies didn't have the info stamped on the outside surface. This came later when regulations changed, requiring the details you see on some of your wheels. So, you may well have another make but they may just be very old. I remember back in the day we'd buy a set of wheels and have...

I've just had my car tuned at Rawspeed in Plymouth, Devon. Graham Rawlings is a tuning specialist and drag racer. I took my 1973 240Z to him with problems at idle caused by an over-rich mixture. He diagnosed this as wear to the jets and needles. Rather than me trying to get Hitachi...

I know how he feels.
