(Video uploads in progress at the time of this thread posting.)


The videos are of a man from Sweeden who bought a Datsun 240Z with "No rust at all" on it... Everybody knows that that's an oxymoron... Observe the work involved and be inspired or gather tips. These videos define love.

Ive seen those, Those guys are awesome!

The 240 Zs were my first true love. In fact, the only reason I ended up with a Mazda is because when I was shopping for a replacement for my '73 (died of rust underneath, even though the body was immaculate) the only car I could find was my new baby. I don't regret my choice, but I'll always drool a little when I see a nice 240... I'll have to check out those videos when I get home (can't access from work).

I understand what you're saying kentetsu, because the Datsuns were some nice cars, but I was fortunate. I never developed any kind of feeling for the 240/260/280z, and absolutely fell in love with the RX-7 when I first started reading about it in Road & Track, and Car & Driver in early 1978. I put my name on the waiting list at the local Mazda dealer...I was 6th on the list. I ended up buying the 2nd one they sold, because it was an S model..real basic and nobody wanted it. But I loved it, so I bought it, and I've never, ever regretted it.
