Tonight my daughter helped me clean up the garage and then we put the Fairlady Z in the garage. Now the rarest Z in Washington is finally out of the rain.

Right hand drive, first year of production, low VIN number, and pretty much complete with original engine. No it does not run but the brakes 'work'

I was forced to push the Z into the garage by myself but my daughter supervised.

I'm going to get a lot of work done on my 280ZX this summer before I start on the Fairlady. I just didn't want it out in the open any more.

I'm also planning to clean up the yard and get rid of all my parts cars.

Oh, so glad that your daughter is learning early on how to supervise.  She will go far in life.

Hi Kevin,

Sorry that We didn't hookup. I was home all Thursday and never heard the phone ring until later that night

About Your Z........... Do You have the stock fender mirrors and if so do You intend to re-install them in those stock holes as factory? There is a reason that I am asking. Very cool car!! Naturally I am enamoured now since My trip with right hand drive vehicles!! Take care, Mike

 the gas door is always on the 'right' side of the vehicle, too.

Yes I do have fender mirrors. They aren't the original ones, but they are brand new Fairlady Z fender mirrors from Nissan. They will be going on.... and if I can afford to pick up another pair I might try them on my 280ZX.

I plan to fix up the Fairlady Z "all original" except for added security, it will be 100% stock. I plan to even hide the alarm horn ect so it will appear stock even with the hood open at shows.
