reverendzed Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Great news...I've just secured revzed 5.0! should be in the garage by Wednesday this week. Not sure what the build plans will be yet but I know that I'm looking for some WIDE shoes, so anyone know of anything let me know pref 16" or 17". Felt nice today to get behind the wheel if only for a test drive. Pics to follow later this week. Rev. Quote

Johnboy Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Good to hear Dave, So expect another gem from what I have seen of your last projects. Johnboy Quote
luvemfast Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Great work. Need some projects for me to read about on my breaks. Finished by the Xmas BBQ? Quote
reverendzed Posted August 12, 2012 Author Posted August 12, 2012 Don't know that they are ever finished but I think it will def be a goer for the BBQ! Quote
nizm0zed Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 5.0? as in expected engine capacity? doo ittt! Quote
reverendzed Posted August 12, 2012 Author Posted August 12, 2012 I wish! No 5.0 as in this will be my number 5 Zed including the one I had in the US! I figure I better keep this one for awhile! Quote
lightmaster240z Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Nice to have you back, and nice to see No5 is now underway. Quote
FuzzyDropbear Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Great news Dave! Hmm, wide shoes = flares on this one too? Can't wait for the pics. Quote
reverendzed Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 Great day tomorrow...going to pick up the new Zed! will post up some pics tomorrow. She's a 1975 2 owner 260z coupe with an L28, 5 speed and done approximately 20k over the last 15 years, always undercover and never driven in the rain! gotta say it's probably one of the cleanest I've seen. I'm looking forward to personalizing this one rather than a FULL rebuild. Cheers Rev. Quote

NZeder Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 "Number 5.0 is alive" for those born well before 1986 Quote
nizm0zed Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 "Number 5.0 is alive" for those born well before 1986 so, most of the people here... (and yes, i get it too, awesome movie, childhood favorite) Quote
benny Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 one of my childhood favourites and i was born in 90... they should do a remake!! Quote
reverendzed Posted August 15, 2012 Author Posted August 15, 2012 OK, so I picked her up and I'm blown away! This thing flies! It drives real nice, no rattles, no fumes and cruises sweet on the highway. Here's some pics. Rev. Quote
RB26DETT Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 New Z looks really nice Dave. It appears it has a tow bar?! Quote
zzzzed Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Very nice. Can't wait to see what you do with it:) Quote
Riceburner Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Wow Dave, color is cool Looks to be really well maintained. Are those wolfrace mags? Quote
reverendzed Posted August 15, 2012 Author Posted August 15, 2012 not sure what the mags are but they are in amazing polished condition and there is 5 of them all on good rubber! going to put these up for sale soon they would be a great asset to someone who wants 'period' mags in perfect condition. Rev. Quote
luvemfast Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 That looks mint as Dave But what are you going to do with it? Mechanical mods this time Papa needs a brand new pair of shoes! Quote
reverendzed Posted August 15, 2012 Author Posted August 15, 2012 Thanks Lurchos, not for sale yet...give me a few weeks! This one will be staying, life is a little different for me these days not keen on a full rebuild I just want to do a few bits and pieces and enjoy the driving and the mates I have at Auszcar! As many of you know I've spent a lot of my time investing heavily in others, that probably won't completely change but I want to have time with my family and create some margin for me...hope that doesn't sound selfish.
