240Z Project

240Z: Kakimoto valve cover and Wing takeo battery kill switch arrived, Exhaust system out

Finally – An Update!!! 🙂
Haha, yeah we had the damnest longest winter since weather measurement (no joke!) and therefore we had snow and freezy temperatures until late march. anyway good news today:
A Package from Japan arrived with a ultra-rare unicorn piece of Japanese racing history:
A genuine forged Aluminum Kakimoto racing “3100” valve cover which i’ve been looking for almost a year now and when i almost gave up it popped up on Yahoo auctions so i just had to get it. don’t ask me what i paid for it, hahaha:
P1080431 - Kopie

The previous owner painted it in a wrong colour so i’ll have to redo that and also hilight the letters again but who cares 🙂 Also got this battery kill switches from Wing takeo for my EK9 project but ordered a second one for my Z so i can switch of the battery when stored away 🙂P1080432 - Kopie

Last but not least i got the exhaust system removed, cleaned up the mess in the garage and removed a lot of wires and hoses from the engine.P1080435 - Kopie

Also should get back my engine-hoist which i loaned out to a few friends and never got back so i should be able to get the engine and tranny out soon – yikes 😀 PROGRESS 🙂
