See also the 240Z restoration in progress by @mymechanics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B13vXFj37RI&list=PLN0SuqPcbL... I'm in awe of the level of detail and the casual ability to just fabricate anything. And the large capacity for work.
Fun video. As we say in biz, "been there done that". Autocrossed a 240 for a short time. Better cars honestly, but it looks cool.
I strongly recommend nobody try to lift or move an engine or transmission out of a pickup bed by themselves without a strong swing-arm winch. Those suckers are really heavy, and the damage they do when they fall on something costs more than the parts. If it falls on a person, woof...

Yeah. Nice looking cars but kind of a pile under the sheet metal. And that L-series is just ugh. Yuck. I hated working on them
there are some guys near me who do this sort of stuff. I love to stop & talk to them. "Oh, so that's what a rear main seal is!"

Late 70's/early 80's 911's had to drop the engine to change the spark plugs. Dad's work neighbor Porsche shop was printing money left, right, and center.
If you're into this, you'll love M539 restorations. Here's a ground up rebuild of the S65 V8 out of an E92 M3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfuXp8QnWoU&t=2s
This is insanely expensive amount of parts in this video, not even counting the work itself. Basically it would never make economic sense to do a rebuild like this.
Many called it the "Two Forty Zee" while many of us naturally said "Two Forty Zed." I have to admit ''Zee-car'' sounds better than ''Zed-car'' unless you're talking about old British cop shows. I was glad that Datsun dropped the ''Fairlady'' handle for exports.
Who doesn't want to be rolling around in a Fairlady, Cedric or even a Rasheen!
