You know you're tired when you pause it at .31 in and jeff is saying he has no nuts. Then proceed to laugh. Love your work as always jeff. Cant wait to see the end result. Then start work on the alfa
The front looks great now with the lower bumper/splitter is in. Thank goodness the car was in the air when the lower bumper decided to make a run for it. Great use of an old boot too! Keep up the grest work Jeff. Stuart
Hi Jeff, wow mate just watching a few episodes with my son, we love the show!! Was great to meet you up at Bathurst for the 12 hr. I look forward to you getting that mad engine back and in the 911. Keep up the great work!! Nick and jack barrett.
Hey Jeff :) Nice work there! I've read that already some guy told you to use "windex" and I wanted to add- if you don't have anything like that you can generally use soapy water and let the string to absorb it. It helps and won't hurt your paintjob like the WD40 . Keep up the good work! Regards from Bulgaria :)
Hey Jeff, i'm glad you took a bit of care with handling that back glass - would HATE to think of replacement cost!! (I'm good at breaking glass panels). Love the progress. Tiger.
Happy Australia Day, Jeff! I hope you guys get to have 'biscuits' to celebrate! My old CEO was Australian, and always shared the celebration with everyone in the office.
I would never have expected you to be a Die Antwoord fan or to hear an elevator music version of evil boy. Love the car and your episodes. Can't wait for the final product.
I just did this with an old coach builder he used candle wax on the rubber and metal he even waxed the string. ive done a few windscreens and this was the easyist one ive done
That dark look the car has would look great with smoked LED angel eyes headlights . Starting to look really good. Might have to hit up Supercheap for some mechanic bonnet protectors... don’t want a zippier scratching that beautiful paint job. Loving the build Jeff. 👍🏻👍🏻
Looking good with that front end back together. Just a quick thought on those inertia reels - they're usually setup for a particular mounting angle so flipping from upside down to side mount may be an issue. Mayb check the doco just to be sure.....
I have a Range Rover and the pervious owner installed the dash without the glove box cable attached. He never figured it out and ended up selling the car to me. I had a heck of a time, but finally got it open.
Remarkable self control there Jeff when you dropped the front lip. I would've let off a few expletives indeed and a few coins in the swearing jar to follow.
Jeffrey Salzman Yeah. 5:50 oops! I’ve messed up worse than that. Lucky you didn’t crack those clear turn signal lenses. They are around $150 here in the USA. Same as I used on my Z-car.
I did my dash and it kept cracking again. What I did was remove most of the screws holding the dash to the metal frame except for about 4 screws. (there's a lot) Since the dash is held in by the pillars and instruments it wont go anywhere. Allows the dash to float on the frame so there is no pressure on the old foam to stress crack again. Worked for me.
Good thing you got ninja like skills mate that could of been a lot worse if that bumber and the front skirt hit the floor few. Z coming along very nice now mate
I still giggle a little every time you say you're hot in winter. I'm from New Jersey, USA. We are frozen at the moment. I'm guessing a white Christmas was a foreign concept for you, on the other hand? Cheers - thanks for the video, things are really coming along! What are you plans for the headlights? LED? Stock? - Are you adding Fog lights?
Mrs Jeff the car did have traction control found by the FIA i was hidden in the computer on a second page so when the FIA checked the computer systems it wasn't in the menu but by accident the FIA analyst accidently found the hidden menu and the game was up, Flavio managed to say it was a legal form of traction control that worked between the gears and it wasn't turned on they were testing it. Strange Ayrton Senna was telling Williams and others that Michael was running it before he dies.
I always put mine in after, it's meant to be a locking strip that locks it in. There is so much debate around the chrome locking trim and when to install it that it probably makes little difference to the installation process haha
Cutting down runs and trash. The biggest reason for procrastinating on finishing a paint job. For fear that you'll botch it and scrape through the clear into the basecoat
I literally cringed when the front clip went swinging. I’ve been there and that stuff always tries your patience, especially when you’re close to the end.
hey Jeff if that is the urethane splitter id suggest bracing it somehow, under high speeds it will want to flex on you pic for reference (forums.hybridz.org/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=album.hybridz.org/data/500/zccivbbq211.jpg&key=6f58a8e86c5f1cf40a437aa6acf057f5a16167e3686082d358f0193206c1aebc)

We've seen Mrs. Jeff helping out in a number of episodes, I'd say she's a keeper Mate.

Thanks guys. Glad you are enjoying it. Hopefully the engine will be on it's way very soon, and I will be able to do some road trips.
Loving the clear markers on that blue paint!

How good is that hoist!.................makes things soo easy

Haha, yep we do actually. ANZAC biscuits ;)

Waxed string is a great idea.

Looking a lot closer Jeff😉😊👍👍
The VT airbox goes in nicely, might be worth looking at the extra flow and upgrade.
Really enjoying the build series.
Thanks for the uploads!

Looks great, Jeff. I think i kind of like the light blue tape on the hood. Maybe some custom blue pinstriping in the 680`s future?
So much looking forward to the Alfa now ...
Nissan Australia - making a $100 heater tap look like good value.
I have a Range Rover and the pervious owner installed the dash without the glove box cable attached. He never figured it out and ended up selling the car to me. I had a heck of a time, but finally got it open.
Holy Sh*T, I wonder how many of us reach for the spoiler. I tried to help when the bumper fell, Great work! awesome look!
Jeff
professional glass installers use a "windex" to lube the rubber & it cleans the glass at the same time
Looking great Jeff. Love it.
non OEM window seals can be a reason for windows not going in, try it with the old rubber seal to confirm if this is the case.
Remarkable self control there Jeff when you dropped the front lip. I would've let off a few expletives indeed and a few coins in the swearing jar to follow.
If you look closely I have blurred over my mouth and dropped the audio at that point ;)
I actually swore for you in that bit.
Jeffrey Salzman

Yeah this is starting to look gooooooood! 👍🏻
I hope you off camera tested the eBay heater valve....
Nope. Just stupid blind faith
Well, I got my fingers crossed... not like you don't know how to rip it back out again. Keep it up!
The 240Z is looking awesome!
Can’t wait to hear the first start...
Btw, when will you be going back to the 911 project?
Yep
Nice work, mate!

Nice work Jeff - not far to go now - Alfa next?

Most Australians have never seen snow ;)

Awesome as always!!
What front bumper/facia do you have?
Ebay special ;)
dont use wd-40 on rubber... use something like silocone grease because it does not degrade rubber
The chrome goes on before you put the glass in the car....If you are going to use it...
I always put mine in after, it's meant to be a locking strip that locks it in.
There is so much debate around the chrome locking trim and when to install it that it probably makes little difference to the installation process haha
I am not using it ;)
Front is looking real good Jeff. Would a heat gun help with the window rubber?
Not really
Did you test the valve before putting it back in the car, Jeff ?
No. Just a leap of faith :D
Intellectual pigmy that I am, wouldn't it have been easier to fit the rear hatch glass with the panel off the car?
It helps to be able to get to both sides at once. One to push down and the other pulling the string.

Why is this called the “680” project?
24oz
I guess the thumbnail didn't agree with the title. Part 76 is here, again.
Not the first time I made that mistake and it won't be my last ;)
I literally cringed when the front clip went swinging. I’ve been there and that stuff always tries your patience, especially when you’re close to the end.
0:30 🤣🤣🤣
My heart stopped when you fumbled on the frontend. Don't do that again.
hey Jeff if that is the urethane splitter id suggest bracing it somehow, under high speeds it will want to flex on you pic for reference (forums.hybridz.org/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=album.hybridz.org/data/500/zccivbbq211.jpg&key=6f58a8e86c5f1cf40a437aa6acf057f5a16167e3686082d358f0193206c1aebc)
It is Fibreglass, not Urethane ;)
So funny , people go to ebay first to buy a $100 heater tap that i sell for AU $36.00
Where do they sell for $36? Nissan quoted over $300
@@HomeBuiltByJeff Look at TFT5105 or TFT5202 and make a mounting bracket or use zip ties
That would do the job for sure.
I got the price wrong , try $22.00 Google "A to Z motor parts Geebung"
