If you can find it, catch this episode on Velocity "Disheveled Datsun". New show featuring a resto on a 1970 240Z #89 I had to watch it. Restoration was not to OEM. What I like the most is his wife's full support and understanding of JDM, she was the one who called the squad. Really interesting.
Some other interesting find:
They used to inserted toilet paper to filter out the oil. Strange.
They went for their interpretation of the 432 R - it was far from the JDM 432 but still looked good. Not for the purist.
The guy seemed like he had a full service garage without the lift.
Nice mods to make it handle and run better.
