Johnboy Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 Hi All, To start my names John, and I'm a Victorian resident, but I was born and bred a sand gropper.. Well, I've been admiring these babies’s since the early 90's, that’s when I first saw my first Zed, a red 240z in Welshpool WA, and ever since I have had my eye on one. So the good news is I have finally got one in the Garage!! I purchased a 1973, green machine with an L28 and Triple Dellorto carbies and she sounds awesome.. More Info and Pic’s of the car at the link below. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,6764.0.html Also I have found some interesting Info in the Glove box (as it was jammed and looks like it was never opened by the previous owner) the car was used in Time trials and possibly some other sort of racing by one of her former owners Chris A in QLD. So I have driven her home now, from Brisbane to Melbourne and now have to start the work. I am happy the body and engine look good (Knock on wood) On the list are Gearbox, Diff, Fuel Pump, Electrics and the Interior including Fan/Blower Carpets roof and refreshing the vinyl etc etc. But first I will start with enough to get over Vic Roads and licensed here. I like to thank the site and all the members, for the great wealth of information and advice that is posted here, I have been reading and researching for a fair while now and been a silent member for the last few months. Cheers hope to get to know you all better. John Quote

FuzzyDropbear Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 ... I refuse to recognise that i have any problems ... Oh, I'm not saying it's a problem! The only problem is that there isn't enough time for us to spend with our cars Quote
