This is my personal blog about 72 Datsun 240Z callsign Goldie. First of all i would like to say that this is for those who have intrests in this type of car and for those who are in the same situation as i, starting from the scratch. I have little experience about cars and this is one way learning more. This car was no-running when i bought it and naturally i intend to make it run.

Spring fever rising
Oh boy. Sun is getting higher and higher every day and slight fever is starting to rise.
Things i still need to do:
-Get the floor welded (drivers side)
-Change brake shoes
-Attach front window properly
-Driver side window too (in this i need suggestions!!)
-Door panels on place (i need clips first to do that)
-Scuff plates (on the way from MSA)
-Sill plates (i got them in my home, polishing them when nothing else to do)
-Carpets ( haven't ordered them yet, gotta get more money)
-Attach quarter panels etc.
-Find a proper speaker and install it
-New antenna ( havent found yet..)
-Carburators tune up ( though they seem to be in decent tune, rear one is sucking a bit more than the front one but idles well )
1.4 is scheduled welding and brake shoe replace/bleed. Luckily i got experienced mechanic to do all of those.

I like the garage picture. That is a really beautiful color.
VastaaPoistaGood luck with the list of to do's.
Thanks mate, i really hope to get this registered. In here registering is very thorough, car must be in excellent condition to pass. btw. do you use 1 speaker in your Z?
VastaaPoistaActually I don't have any speakers in my Z yet because I haven't installed them. Here is what I have:
VastaaPoista-two twelve inch Eclipse subwoofers
-two 5 inch by 7 inch Pioneer mid speakers
-four Pioneer tweeter speakers
I don't have any stereo/CD player yet to complete my system and that's why I haven't installed the speakers yet.
If you don't want to go crazy with it then a good two-way or three-way speaker would be perfect for a good all-around sound.
I've always wanted to go to Finland. I also heard the driving school is a lot more demanding than here in the U.S. Also that you guys are just better drivers than us =)
Good luck with the registration!
Thanks mate, im just curious how the original "hi-fidelity" one speaker system sounds like, im going to stick on one speaker only (at least for now). Yea, well getting a full drivers licence lasts 2 years so maybe it has someting to do with it :)
VastaaPoista2 years!! Oh my gosh!! That's cool.
