    Introduction

    Hello,

    Thought I should take a moment to introduce myself to the board. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool gearhead. I cut my teeth on Moms 58 sunroof sedan Beetle.
    I then bought a 59 ghia and built it to my specs. 2.0 litre, 48 IDA's engle 130 cam etc, Oh yea, and 4 wheel disk brakes. Great car, still have it, down for body and paint, carb re-build. Then 3 years ago a friend of the mine from the yacht club....not what you think..its a great drinking hole near Pac Bell or is it ATT park now? gave me his old '72 240z. I went on to totally restore it, and it became my daily driver. Unit 8 mos ago, when my neighbor up the street, rear-ended it while parked in front of my house! Car was a total loss, insurance paid me off. A week later I see an ad in craigslist and I am know the proud owner of the mutt you see below. its a 67 with bits an pieces from
    other years. As soon as I get the suspension finished (new bushes for now)
    I'll start on the accuisition of period parts (mirror, seats etc). Well thats it in a nutshell. I'd like to say thanks for all the info I've gotten using the "search"
    tab....It's been a great help. Back before the internet it would take a guy years of wrenching to figure stuff out.

    So again THANKS

    Dave

    I have no problem with the theory that all men are created equal.
    But after that moment you are on your own and nobody owes you a damn thing.

    Thanks guys,

    The fun has begun!! The car came with mechanical (no spring) tensioners, now running pressure feds! Done a valve adjustment, changed all the fluids etc, you know, starting a baseline. Looks like my credit card went through, so should have a member # tag line soon!

    Dave
