Moderators Zedman240® Posted April 29, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hey Indy, Like everyone else has said, I'll say it again! Nice clean straight zed! How did you come across it? Hard to find like that! If you don't mind me asking, how much was it? Looks like nobody has touched it in all that time..well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hi Zedman, Nothing to hide: I bought it 2 kms from where I live,in Perth. It was advertised on 'Quokka'. I paid $3500. Has the original engine,done approx 60000Kms. Has a bit of work to do, leaking radiator,minor work. Was restored 15 years ago and kept in the shed most of the time. Interior is immaculate. The owner was sad to sell....I didn't want to bragain on the price, I felt it was worth it (maybe even more). I even told him its a very fair price.

sco_aus Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Nice work, thats a great price. P.S thanks for filling in location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zedman240® Posted April 29, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2009 Oh..great price. Sounds like mine...needed a radiator as well. I'd top up with water few seconds later you could have a shower under the front. Sounds like it will be an easy fix for you. Get it going and enjoy it on the road.

Indy Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 The only thing is it is too good to modify it and chuck a V8!! I run a 6.5L Chev Diesel inmy GQ Patrol. I had a L28 in another Patrol,beforre I put an EFI on it and beat the ll out of it...but it never died. I hope to keep this stock and save it.

Indy Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 I got the Z running. My motor was stuffed. Bought a L26 with twin SUs of OzDatforum, nice motor with L28 valves, blah blah. Got a straight-through sports exhaust. Chucked some 195/60/14 Yokohamas. Electronic Ignition. Changed bushes,etc. Got all the work done thru' Martin Mech @Oakford,WA. And..I also got an original radio. Will post a few pics and a video of the engine revving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB30X Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Looks pretty good for a station wagon, very straight. Sounds good too, hate those clutch fans though they ruin the engine noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
