Stunning. Perfect colour combo with the grey and deep red. Keeping it true to the original without a body kit is the only way to go. The lines are incredible. I'd love to have that in my garage. Just sublime.
Top car - just beautiful ! Color coding the door armrests, grab handle & window winders is genius! This is something that Datsun should've done from the start - with all coloured interiors. Tiger.
Man that car is beautiful!!! And just need to comment again on how awesome it sounds. Nice job Curt - can't wait for the 260Z build to start!!! Your channel is very inspiring.
building my 280z 2+2. been watching ur z posts. went to dual weber carbs after watching some of ur posts. going to be using gm hei. but what is that replacing the charcoal canister location? could u post a vid of engine components. really like the simplicity. trying to go as simple as possible. thanks!
I LOVE the red interior!! Is the quilted vinyl original or new? Are the door cards new? The seats? You've done what should have been done back in the day - armrests, grab handle & window winders done in the same color as the door cards. WELL DONE!! (They looked tacky in black - unless the interior was black like mine). Tiger.
+William Tisnes thank you William! Right on! What’s your plan for your Z? They are Rota RB 17” x 7.5” up front and 17” x 8.5” in rear with a +4 offset. Tires are 225/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rear. Thanks for watching!
@@CarsBikesandCoffee I was going to add ZG flares but the body is in such great shape it would be a crime to cut into them and after seeing yours Im leaning more to a stock look and not such a wide stance.
@@CarsBikesandCoffee cool I had a feeling they were Webers. Thx for reaching out bro and keep that Z till it breaks! (which we all hope will never happen :)
@@CarsBikesandCoffee thats awesome man, its getting more dofficult to find rust free s30s. If you are lucky to find one, it'll either be needing quite a bit of work or overprice.
You just got to be HAPPY your always so quiet and calm...you just have to "STILL HAVE A BIG FAT SMILE ON YOUR FACE....CAR CAME OUT AWESOME..!!!! Question were you happy with the quality of delta cam regrind and the resurfaced rockers. Did you have to degree in the cam? What was the regrind and resurface costs. Not to be nosey , Im building 2 cars at once so cost savings is my motive....Thanks Again I know your STILL SMILING ITS A. Z - thing!!
@@CarsBikesandCoffee you put the work in now its a very dependable car ( they have always been) O had a number of them in the 80s 240s 260s and 280s. Now I have a 73 240 and a 78 280 Rolling shells about to paint after 3 years of cutting and welding rust.. Ill build both motors soon as I paint the cars inside and out.. Im doing all the work both cars alone.

My first car at age 16 in 1983 was a very clean 1973 240Z. Same color interior as this one with the outside being white. Wish I still had it, fun car.

that red interior looks amazing man. Just wondering how much it was for the restoration
Thanks man. The paint, the car, and parts is pretty easy to say. A lot is of course time and effort, that’s the hard part.
@@CarsBikesandCoffee yeah man thats were it is, theres always something to fix or upgrade right. Were you lucky to find one that was rust free?
For sure, always something to donor add. Yeah, this has been a California car all its life. Pretty lucky.
@@CarsBikesandCoffee thats awesome man, its getting more dofficult to find rust free s30s. If you are lucky to find one, it'll either be needing quite a bit of work or overprice.
