1970 Datsun 240Z

Finally took the kids out for a drive in the upcar Finally took the kids out for a drive in the upcar. It's what they call it since it has spent the majority of their lives up in the air on a car hoist. 

They both loved the drive and are looking forward to more. :)
I've been waiting for a cool day to swap the tacho I've been waiting for a cool day to swap the tacho but this humid Sydney weather just isn't letting up so I got my sweat on yesterday and finally did it.

I had two tachos and picked the one with the nicer dial when I put the dash together but as it happens it was a dud and only revved to 1,500. 

I swapped the dials and used the nice clean front housing. I then battled the mounting points and guess who won 💪 after a bit of blood and lots of sweat 😅

Nice to see the needle spin again. 😎

It's pretty wild hopping in a car and hearing a ti It's pretty wild hopping in a car and hearing a ticking clock. There are a lot of things that make the 240 special and for me this is one of them.
