Well here it is! My other Datsun. I use to drive this little car for 3,5 years. It had many problems but mostly they were caused by stupid owner. I didn't know heck about cars back then. It lacked basic maintenance but STILL it keeps running! Again i was amazed how this little Nippon started alive, i just put some high octane gas on tank, added little oil and charged battery. It actually started faster than Z normally!! And it has been standing for years! And it moved too :D Of course the odours were something beyond imagination, it's been on there for almost 5 so.. Still, every electric apparatus worked as should, radio was loud and clear, all the gauges work.. Everything is ok EXCEPT the infamous RUST. Wheel arches are totally busted, i cant even imagine what it looks like under the car (though it has been over sand all the time)

When i got enough time and money, i will sandblast the whole damn thing and rebuild it. Now i just start to dismantle it piece by piece, hoping that someday it is ready.

The matress holder

Few days ago we decieded to clean the garage as it is suited for 2 cars. The other half is full of stuff that we are 1)never going to use 2)use it maybe 2 times a year 3)stuff that nobody knows how to use 4)just plain trash. If someone wants to buy a old school dining table or good'ol cathode ray TV, just call me.

Eventually we got rid of the trahs part and stuffed all the unnecessary crap in the corner. Now there is room to have a disco party! Maybe tommorrow we deciede to clean the THIRD garage. Previous owner was farsighted when he built 3 garages instead of none. Well he was a rally driver so.. Now there is so called "bachelor-box" in the garage. All i need is fridge full of beer

We gotta make room as the little brother is coming home. Not MY little brother but 240z's. Im gonna bring the 150Y home.

Winter hits Finland

Well, driving season for this year is over. We drove almost 600 miles this summer and it was absolutely amazing if all that hellish road noise and exhaust smell is not counted. Im quite sure there is plenty of people with pic of this beauty in their cameras, as we drove in local Historical-cars-convoy and there was masses of people gathered along the route. Maybe someday theyll look into those pics and tell tales to their offspring.
I tought that these cars were becoming rare but i was wrong, actually there is more Z-cars in Finland than ever! Im planning to meet some of them in next spring/summer (as soon as the snow melts!)

Things to do this before final registration/winter:

-Install new windshield wiper washer tank (already purchased but not installed)
-Drop the rear off and change oils
-MAYBE and i really mean MAYBE lift engine off and paint engine bay/engine and do all the "restoration" stuff outside engine.
-Door panels, those hotdamn door panels...
-New seat upholstery. I know one very capable seat restorer who might make his magic on to these old seatz. Of course thats gonna cost SOME....(i better sell our house to fund this project)
-New paint on hood, inspection lids and cowl.
-Change front turn signal wiring. Finnish legistlation wont approve that the turn signals are on all the time, they should work only when turning, so i'll have to figure out a way to do it.
