Since the Patrol is not ready for a public debut and the weather was great yesterday, I decided to take the 240Z to a Datsun / Nissan meet-up.

Although I have posted very little recently about the Patrol, have no doubt progress is being made.

Keith,
Strange memory. I remember the first Z car I ever saw, where I was and who owned it. I think I was in 5th or 6th grade. He was a friend of the family. I recall a conversation whereby he was always trying to get the carborators working properly. Still the early Zs were unchained and if I ever own one it will be one prior to the US government's imposition.
It must be real fun drive.
Pedal to the metal!

That could be one of the good ones with a lower gear ration, if you plan to drive it off road. It just needs to be a pre-65. If it is newer, then it is better for the open road.
Great patina too.
Another big plus is the lines have been cleaned up with the chopped doors. It doesn't rain much where we live so the lack of a roof works for us.
Rolling and Patrolling,

Its a 1964. Shes been butchered, so I will do what I can to get her running and then worry about the rest. I am in Canada and the poor girl has no roof, so it sits in the snow.

ok, but try to protect it, that assemblage of Nissan Ninja parts is better than most.
