New life for an old 240

At present I am rebuilding a new 240  pretty much from scratch. I will include a few pictures and try to update this site with new ones as it progresses.  

The old 240 I have given to a friend of mine and I am helping him fix it up for his son who is eagerly waiting for his sixteenth birthday. This has turned into a bit of a chore in itself. The engine has been returned to more or less stock configuration . It will still have headers but the but the Webbers will go onto the new car I am building. I actually have a set of triple Solex 40's but I am more familiar with the Webbers. This left me with the task of building two functioning SU's out of a pile of mouldering carbs I've had laying around. It is a fairly low budget job with most of the money ear-marked for the paint and body work.  Some of the engine aluminum is pollished  and other parts have been cleaned up and painted. All in all it is coming along fairly good. At least when my friend's son shows up in the High-school parking lot he won't be driving some funky lowered Honda with a boom box. Besides we are conditioning him to hate front wheel drives ( the only front wheel drive I ever drove that I liked was my Austin Mini).      TO EACH HIS OWN AS IT WERE.

Updated photos to follow as I get them.....

Well...so here are the updated photos. (Did you have a good drive ? ) Today I said good-bye to the ole...240, got her up and running , took her for a test drive and well...she's gone, not forgotten and definatlely  not for good. To the body shop she goes. A new lease on life etc. Still, nice to take her for a spin again. Even with the SU carbs back on her she still has a lot of ...well if you own a "Z" you know what I mean.

Shaver's watching you !

Blah Blah Blah...Yada Yada Yada
