Roth Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Hi guys I'm a new member from Adelaide, currently driving an unmolestered 260 2+2 Auto with a mind to someday get into a 2 door manual, either 240 or 260. I'm 25 and just graduated in architecture so hopefully will soon have a job and funds to restore a classic. The community and forums are great, the information found there has been much appreciated and helped me as a guest so firstly thank-you. Though my mechanical knowledge and experience is very limited hopefully I can contribute somewhere. Cheers Roth Quote

Roth Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 Thanks Guys Will get some pics up soon as I run into a bit of spare time. Quote
Roth Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 This is the only photo I have, straight off the advert when I purchased her. [/img] Quote
salty Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 looks better in the photo than in the flesh, what did you end up paying for it? Quote
Aliangus Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Welcome. Well done on finishing uni, hope you enjoy your Z. It does look quite original. Any plans to convert it into a manual? Quote
RBZ 260 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 welcome to the nuthouse. The car does look familiar just wonder where I have seen it before Salty you seen the car before too? Quote
salty Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Yes mate I have, had a look for a chap from Sydney when it was on Ebay. Guy/s who sold it have a rolls royce business near coca cola, down one of the side streets heading to the brickworks. heard they sell a Z every know and then Quote

Roth Posted November 26, 2011 Author Posted November 26, 2011 Yeh that's the place. Warren was the guys name, nice bloke. Said he was selling on behalf of a mate. The car was originally advertised for 7or 8 grand on carpoint etc but would have got very little interest at that price. Paint is nothing spectacular, a bit of orange peel, but until I get undercover storage I'm unconcerned. I don't recall how much I paid for her, about 5k I think, I was pretty happy with it though and it's been super reliable since (touch wood). Mechanically she is great. I do need to replace the weather seals though, any suggestions? I tried to get a blackdragon kit from the US ($200 pretty reasonable) but they are out. Other US alternatives get pricey for what I need. I wouldn't convert her to manual Aliangus, I prefer to keep it original (perhaps convenient given the current financial position!) and would sooner use the money needed to convert her to buy a 2 seater manual 240 or even a 260. Benny's looks nice but it will be a few months until I have any savings! Quote
RBZ 260 Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 weather seals etc... try Rare Spares on South Road. Quote
