    So my neighbor's building a 2G 240z....?

    And an ethanol still.

    Its definitely a Datsun. Pretty sure its a 240z as well. Havent seen the front end so i cant tell if its a 1G or 2G.

    He's also in the process of, or has built, a still.(Mom hates it cuz she thinks he's gonna blow us up)

    We live on one side of a duplex and he lives on the other, but he always leaves his garage open and i can see almost everything. Originally, the 240 was a bright yellow, then his brother came and traded him that one for a silver one, but he has the hood and fenders from the yellow one on the wall in the garage...

    Anyway, it appears he's gutted it and has it up on stands. He was out in the driveway building a workbench one night too. Now its all set up and i can see a few gallons of gas, and what im guessing is the still, sitting on the bench.

    He also has a computer that he listens to music on. Ive heard a few good songs. :\

    Here's the "weird" thing though, he's a Mennonite. He has 4 cars, including the 240; an older F150, that he claims runs on ethanol, a 1G DOHC Saturn SL and a newer model Chrysler van, which i think he said also runs on ethanol. He has a wife and a baby, and he has a garden in his backyard.

    He can do what he pleases with his life, im not complaining about that, or anything for that matter. Just not the kind of neighbor Im typically used to.

    Anyway, I've borrowed a tool from him a time or 2, and he seems like a decently cool guy. They tend to be a little on the noisier side, but..

    I'll try and get some pics and show you what exactly im talking about.

    Just thought Id share what happens in my end of the circle.

    Discuss. Continue. Whatever.

        Well, I never really paid much attention to him until he started toying with the 240.

        As far as rambling....I dunno. Its just not something I see everyday. Plus Im like that. I gotta get in every detail.

          Yet another thread.....

          ZACH cant see this, but the rest of you can:

          If you cant keep it civil or say anything nice then please, GTFO.

          Ever hear of Off-Topic? Its called that for just reasons. Im not in EVERY single thread. And if ive been in most of the top recent, i usually have a legit reason for doing so. Im not whoring or leaving useless, one word comments. Nor am i creating threads telling ppl who's recently made my ignore list.

          I'll admit in the last couple of days ive created a few "***" threads, but until now i havent heard or seen any complaints. I could be alot worse and you know it. I recall a time where a certain member was known as "Mr. Off-Topic". Nobody seemed to mind his goofy, "useless" threads.

          You left here and havent said much to us since. Do me a favor and leave it that way.

              my question is, why dont u go over and ask the guy, "hey what ya doing?" and get details.

              i liked the 240z. always wanted to put one of 3 engines in one, an ls1, rb26dett or sr20det

                  Its actual a 280z. Least thats what the badge on the rear hatch says, lol.

                  He just pulled it in there a few days ago, so maybe sometime this weekend, Ill go over and see just what exactly he's got in mind. He doesnt seem like the engine swap type, so i think he's just working on making it an Econo-car.
