Dtsnlvrs's 1971 Datsun 240Z

My 1971 Datsun 240-Z. I got this Datsun in May 1998, and took it with me when I moved to Italy the same year. The body was refreshed and re-painted in 2000. I have campaigned this car as a "B" Street Prepared Auto-X car, as a Street Mod 2 Auto-X car and have participated in a few European Rally events while I was living there.

Yup, MSA is finally selling my Upgrades. Only took 4 years for them to catch on, but when the next flyer comes out (mid-Nov) and sales should Jump considerably. That should get the 260Z project up and on a roll and hopefully done by spring (MSA? Maybe?) Later.
