Ponyo240z Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Gday, Jonathan and Desiree here from Melbourne I grew up restoring mini's with my father, however always listening to him carry on about his first Z he bought new back in 78. 3 purchased that day, His brown 260z, his brother's white 260z and another brothers 1600. I am fortunate Des is into cars just as much as I am and we have always wanted a Z but out of our price or skill range to restore. However, we had an Epiphany a couple of weeks back and thought what the heck and was fortunate to meet revzed and get hold of one of his cars. Great guy and we are looking forward to getting it on the road. We went along to the Datsun day on Sunday and are looking forward to getting to know the Z community. We love to drive our cars and want to keep the look relatively stock, however with some modern day tech to improve handling. Cheers Ponyo240z.ReeRee, George, mother240 and 2 others 5 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted November 25, 2015 Administrators Posted November 25, 2015 Seems to be a good car that 1, is it on the road yet or still needs work for RWC etc..? Quote
Ponyo240z Posted November 25, 2015 Author Posted November 25, 2015 Not on the road yet. ,There are a few things I need to learn and work through before I try and get it registered. Brakes to bleed first, then get the motor running for a while and see what gauges read, etc. I also want to make sure drive line, electrics and motor is 100% as we plan to keep this car long term. My goal is to have it on the road by Feb. Quote

Ponyo240z.ReeRee Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Hi all, Thank you for the welcome. As Jonny has mentioned, I'm really looking forward to sharing our Datsun interests with the community and I am eager to learn a lot more and have the chance to drive Ponyo on the roads with you.
