A little clean up today

Looks really good. Thinking about wheel spacers?

also, any front camber or rear toe issues?

thanks man! Wheels are spaced 25mm front 30mm rear. I'm sure the camber is not ideal. It wouldn't hurt for me to get an alignment. But I don't drive the car a whole lot so I'm not in that big a hurry.

Wow! I didn't realize they were spaced so far. Doesn't look like you have rubbing problems in the front at least. Do you have any pictures from a sharper angle that shows how flush the rear wheel is with the fender? I'm surprised it's not poking.

I'm picking up coilovers, rear camber arms, toe bolts, and wheel spacers in the next week or two. Looking to go about your height. (align tire with fender) I haven't decided on front camber arms or spacers yet so I appreciate your journal! I was thinking of going 20mm all around until I saw yours!

theres some pics earlier before I put it on the coil overs and dropped it. They were dead flush with that spacing at stock height. The back is still pretty flush, but the front is in just slightly. I do have camber arms in the rear, but they are set at stock length till I get an alignment.

Got a little somethin done today! Marcin at A&M worked his magic and got the OEM spoiler off without breaking it. Then on with the duckbill!

Meulen · 08-22-2015, 12:54 PM

Well....looks like I'm in for another Halo project.

One of my halos went out. They don't sell that style anymore so looks like I have to do both. Going to make some other changes too I think.

Meulen · 05-03-2016, 11:05 AM

New project ALMOST home and ready to start!!!

Meulen · 05-03-2016, 08:08 PM

It's home! Time to start another build thread. Since this will be a complete restoration project there should be plenty of good stuff!! My FB friends don't seem to understand. Taking a lot of crap for taking this project on

b15 · 05-04-2016, 03:05 PM

Awesome!!! Envious, I want to restore/mod a 240z just can't find the time.

this may take me a while!! This year is busy, next year I'm going cut back my Ironman racing to shorter Olympic triathlons and Sprints. That should free up my time. So probably get minimal work done till winter hits

Meulen · 07-24-2016, 03:36 PM

Haven't seen my 40th in a month! Training for Ironman and having my house renovated is seriously taking a bite out of my time. But!...My 240 is here in the garage and I had a few hours to get going on the prep work. Ever little bit of time counts!
