Hey guys, my name is Doug. I have been involved in Zeds for a very long time
and I'm in the process of feeling the z love again.
A little about my previous cars, First datsun was a mint condition 1600 that
my father purchased for me ( After I threatened him with registering my
motorbike ) for the princely sum of $200 with a blown head gasket, car had
under 60,000 miles on it and no rust had that for about 2 years while I was
doing my apprenticeship. That car ended up with a Stroker l24b with a
reverse pattern 5 speed and replaced every single bush spring and worn
moving part in the suspension at which point, I wrapped that around a tree
or three and broke it in half , So deciding in my youth I obviously need
more power, went out and bought a 73 240z from a car yard. Turned out the
beast was more bog then machine .
It served me for a few years even towed some of my mates Zeds with it
(d3c0y) And my other project at the time (being the shagged sandblasted
shell on eBay at the moment) Eventually the rust got to bad ie: the left
caster rod was not really attached to the chassis rail anymore and it was
parted out.
After that I purchased a 70 model zed vin hs300000160.
Spent a fortune on suspension and lost my licence so it sat in front of dads
house for a few years until I sold it to (d3c0y) jake who then Onsold it to
another rusty zed collector Magnus .
At this point I gave up on Zeds and got a corolla fast forward 7 or 8 years
and a few v8s later here I am .
So plan is to buy a 240 with a good body and originally a l28 with a cam and
triples will now be a rb25neo conversion because jake has gone out and built
the worlds fastest l series and I don’t want the slowest car. Well I think I
have crapped on long enough sorry about the punctuation I thought as a young
lad playing with cars and planning on being a mechanic was all there was in
life so didn't pay a lot of attention in highschool .
Cheers Doug .
