Introduce Yourself

[Zak's Z]

Hi,

I'm Zak and I helped make this new site along with the usual gang. I made this thread so you can introduce yourself so the rest of the community can know you and your Z car.

I first got my Z 5 years ago. A '72. I was going to do a simple frame-rail weld and it turned out I kept digging and found I needed new floors, rails and supports. I ended up stripping it down to bare metal and removing every bolt. As of right now it's painted and ready to be put back together. Fresh rebuilt motor sitting in the garage. Gotta put the suspension back up and my roadblock now is new fuel and brake lines.

Check out my gallery for pics!

Hey all,

The new site looks great!

Currently we have

Hi guys...Chris here.
I moved back from Vancouver to Toronto so I thought I would join the local Z car club. I have already had the pleasure of meeting Laverne in Kitchener and hope to meet more of you at meetings or on the road. Currently I have a '72 240Z with an L28, Su's and 4 speed. It needs a little love but will be road ready come spring.
I'll post my old rides into a gallery for everyone...they include a '72 240Z, '72 510 2 door and a '71 510 4 door...I sold them all before I moved home.

great new site by the way....bye bye Motortopia.

I'm Eric, your webmaster.
I cannot take credit for the new site, Zak did all the work. My job is to administer it, which will be way easier than it was with the old site. Now you can put up as many as 50 of your own photos. Before I used to limit it to four and that took me at least half an hour. Another advantage for me is I can work on the site from any computer. The old site required seperate software, so it didn't get maintained when I was away from home.
It's great to see so many people registering already. Don't be shy, put some details on your profile. At least your name.We all know who some of you are, but it would be a friendlier community if we all had opur names and a few tidbits of interesting info as well.

Here is my 1972 Z when I brought it home, June '72

And again in 1975

I had it restored and put it away for 15 years. Here is my son Ian in 2003

The underside had rotted away, so I stripped all the mechanical out that Summer.

I wasn't happy with the previous restoration so I drove it one last time at Christmas, 2007, then stripped it to the bare shell.

I was going to put some more here, but 5 photos is the limit. You will have to check my gallery instead. For the bare shell restoration go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/janeeri...7606153458051/

Howdy! Great work on the new site guys! I'm Ron from the Windsor area. I have been doing a complete modified resto in spurts over the last several years on a 1970 240Z. I'm looking forward to sharing experiences, checking out the pics, following the on going projects, etc.

Great new site

Just introducing myself and my car.

I an Casey Heemskerk and I live in Smithville Ont. which is in the heart of Niagara.

I have 5 daughters and 12 grandchildren so I hide in my garage and play with my 72 240z.

The Z is black (waiting to be original silver) with red interior.

It has L28 with 5 speed transmission and a 390 rear end.

It has the original carbs and head. Carbs are jetted and head is built.

It also has headers and custom stainless 2.5" exhaust.

The car started in California and was rebuilt in Minnesota.

It ended up in Kingston where I bought it this spring.

The body has original floor rails and fenders and is rustfree.

You can see pictures I have posted.

I may post a picture of me at 19 with my brand new 73 240 but both car and my youth have long dissappeared.

Great job on the site and I hope to meet some of you at a meeting or some functions

Casey
