What did you do to your FB today?
Truer words.
Im at a point where I have all the hard to find bits. Massive challenge but worth it. One part I’m glad I did was to get the passenger door hinges from Australia. So my drivers door feels amazing. No sloppy hinges.
I should have the brake system completed in a few weeks. Cooling system should be done, minus an electric fan. And the parts for the turbo header will likely be ordered in a couple of days. My build page should be on fire soon

yep- get 'em while you can! Been doing so over the last 20 yrs and it saddens me to see the stuff I used to be able to walk into a dealership and order - and now is NLA!!! I dreamt we might get the aftermarket support for parts the 240Zs enjoy, but it does not look like that will ever happen...

Finally painted a set of GS/GSL/SE mirrors to match. The paint match came out perfectly, just not sure they look how I envisioned them. I’ll live with it for a while and can always re-spray. I painted a buddy’s bumpers and decided to do these too. No sense wasting expensive paint.
Replaced speakers
I finally upgraded my speakers. The new ones are a definite improvement over the old alpines. The old ones may have worked better after I re-ran all new wire. I’m surprised they worked at all with all the botched wiring Jerry, the PO did.
The second picture is just the left side speaker wiring. Nine splices! If you don’t know what you’re doing, get someone to do it for you, the right way.
Next year, I’ll get a new head unit. Nothing fancy, just a little better than the crappy pioneer.

Easy to see how one could plunder the whole electric system trying to solve this, then squint at the dash: "....waaaaait a minute...!"
d-OH!
What a pain to have to burrow into the whole cluster to fix!!
