Saying Goodbye

Project240z, 1973 Datsun 240Z — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 05:02:26 GMT

( idea blatantly stolen from James Nelson’s Saying Goodbye post ) We’ve been together for almost 4 years, you and I. I was love at first site, but it took a internet chat conversation with 4 guys to get you where I wanted you. Once your previous owner...(read more)

Project240z, 1973 Datsun 240Z — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 13:55:48 GMT

So this won’t be the final post here on Project240z.com, but we are likely coming close to the end. This weekend the car sold, an airman from the local Air Force base in Denver came by and gave me a deposit for the car. I’m going to try to get the title...(read more)

1973 Datsun 240z For Sale

Project240z, 1973 Datsun 240Z — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 20:56:15 GMT

So I really am looking to sell the 240z this time around. Though, the more time I spend on it, the less I want to sell it, so perhaps I’ll continue working on it while I wait to see if it sells, and then who knows what will happen after that. At this...(read more)

For sale again?

Project240z, 1973 Datsun 240Z — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 06:10:09 GMT

So I don’t know why I didn’t think of this a month ago, would have saved me some money on shipping, but the Corbeau A4s for the 240z are sold. John V, the guy who bought the Corvette has purchased them for use in his RX-7 that I bought and shipped to...(read more)

CorvetteZ06.org — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:05:34 GMT

Megasquirt woes, too much fuel?

Project240z, 1973 Datsun 240Z — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 23:15:52 GMT

So I will start this post off staying this: I know nothing, I am a noob when it comes to the megasquirt, and tuning a fuel injection car (or a carb’d car for that matter). That being said, I think my megasquirt is giving the car too much fuel when it’s...(read more)

A year has come and gone

CorvetteZ06.org — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 16:18:30 GMT

So today marks a year since the 2004 Corvette Z06 left our stable . In the past year I’ve autocrossed exactly once, back in March or April of this year in St. Louis. We’ve since moved to Colorado, bought a house, and traded/sold most of our vehicles. We are in the process of trying to build up our stable again, lots of changes going on! Yesterday I went up to Boulder Colorado and looked at and RX-7...(read more)

Should I make the 240Z Electric?

Project240z, 1973 Datsun 240Z — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:22:16 GMT

Today, while I was hard at work, a buddy of mine sent me a link to a car on Ebay, it was a 1984 Rabbit GTI with 517 original mile s. I was looking at the car in amazement, seeing it was in St. Louis, and more so in Creve Couer, near where we used to live....(read more)

Back in action in the garage! First video from Colorado

Project240z, 1973 Datsun 240Z — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:05:00 GMT

So it's been a while since I actually created a video of working on the car, that's not to say I haven't worked on the car, I ripped the dash out completely! That would have made a cool video, apologies for not being proactive enough to setup the camera....(read more)

Fuse block/panel acquired

Project240z, 1973 Datsun 240Z — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 04:10:40 GMT

So I have been delaying wiring up the car a bit, partially because I don’t understand it all, and partially because I am afraid! I’m a computer geek, but not always the best when it comes to working on the car, I question everything I do, maybe because...(read more)

Yet another domain name, look out 240z.net is coming!

Project240z, 1973 Datsun 240Z — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 03:14:50 GMT

So for a month or so I've been waiting for www.240z.net to go through the expiration process as the previous owner decided to let it expire. Well today it finally came through and guess who got it! Woot! Stay tuned as http://www.240z.net gets built over...(read more)

Labor Day weekend and working on the 240z

Project240z, 1973 Datsun 240Z — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 02:26:45 GMT

So the Labor Day holiday weekend is coming up, and my brother is coming to town. I’m planning on putting him to work on the car. I’m not sure what the goal for the weekend is, but I do want to at least get something done on the car! I was looking to try...(read more)

Organizing the garage, and guess what I found?

Project240z, 1973 Datsun 240Z — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 04:59:55 GMT

So we’ve barely been in the house three weeks and I already lost and found something! So in my last blog post I complained that I thought I left the fiberglass dashboard for the 240Z in St. Louis. Well I was wrong! Tonight while trying to get things moved...(read more)

Out goes the dash

Project240z, 1973 Datsun 240Z — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 04:56:52 GMT

So tonight after work I got the 240Z off the trailer, both of which had been parked in the Garage since we moved to Colorado a few weeks ago. I had lined up a storage lot for the trailer and wanted to get it out of the garage. Well the 240Z wasn’t easy...(read more)
