Both the TR6 and the 240Z suffered from rust in the NE with roads
covered with sand and salt. My 72 6 was a perfect example. I spent a ton
of time cutting and welding/brazing both the body and the frame. But in
the end it was more solid than its original. And thanks to Ted with his
frame strengthening kit. The Z however was uni-body. A good friend had
one and it basically fell apart in the early 80's. He took it to a frame
shop and they couldnt do a thing with it. And there is no way to restore
it. At least on the 6, if the frame was shot, you could to to a junk
yard and pick up one in decent shape, same with the fenders/ doors etc.
I do see one Z at car shows but I am sure it is not a NE car. I do see
quite a few 6's though. One thing that the Z had better on the engine
were the carbs. A SU clone made by Hitachi. I fitted a pair on my 72 as
I was not a fan of the ZS. They have been trouble free for over 15 years.
