I found this forum while searching for information on headgasket failure on a 91 300zx TT that I just bought. This is the 71 series 1 240z that my wife and I restored last summer. i also own a 2004 350z.

Thanks, the car wasnt too bad. It was gold, had an automatic transmission and some of the typical rust issues. We completely disassembled it, I mean every nut and bolt. Had the rust repaired, painted ferrari red and then spent about 4 months putting it back together, including a 4 speed swap. I'll try to post more photos. I have been busy working on the 300zx engine removal.

My wife was able to snap a few photos of our 3 z's in the driveway before I started to pull the engine from the 300zx.
