All's well that end's well I suppose... I feel a bit sad for you though! Nice area by the way...

Gone down the Daytona Coupe rabbit hole.

A couple of years old now. Peter Brock shares the true story behind the Shelby Cobra Daytona

So something I have noticed in my 71 240z is these black sharpie marks in the engine bay. I had seen it once before on another car. HS30 00004 refer to red engine bay. Has anyone seen this on other AU market cars at all? I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the import / compliance process? I ran it by Alan @HS30-H but he had never seen it before, so that's why we think it could be AU compliance specific.

Thanks mate, wish I knew about them before I bought a dashmat for my Stagea, fits badly but wanted something to protect it from the harsh sunlight in this country.

Rob at Z-Factory sells that stuff on Gumtree. He offers other similar bits and bobs for Z's.

Save it, looks too good to part.

haha, actually no, but I have been spending time on Stagea groups on Facebook. But you can see I'm dedicating more time to the Z's again. My first love.

I was hoping to, but the car arrived at my place a couple of weeks later than I had anticipated and so I would have had more time to get it on the road. But the alarm system wiring is something that needs rectification and a good oil/fluids change. Along with a new set of tyres. So unless someone can lend me a car + trailer to tow it out that way I don't think I'll make it down in the Z. I may drive out in the Stagea though. Had a lot on recently, bought a house in Melbourne and somewhat busy trying to get all the paperwork / mortgage details sorted etc.. I would love to have it there, but can't see it happening at the moment.

I guess you saw the state of it when we collected it. Interior half arsed and apart, filthy all over and faded paint etc.. It certainly is looking very different today. In some ways it's come up better than my 72 240z. Since it's so straight and never had a nudge. Plus it's very original - which is something I've been trying to take my 72 back to for years now. Just goes to show the value of buying a really good car from the start. Saves a lot of time and effort. Another video here after I cleaned up interior and engine bay a bit more. A wet rag can remove a lot of filth in an engine bay. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HgH7Srj6ae2qadJp9

I've spent nearly 2 days on the body work, buffing it and cleaning it up. I managed to get quite a few marks out of the paint. However there is blistering and flaking in parts and nothing can be done about that. These photos were taken before I tried to re-attach the body moulding on the driver side. Since it had been off the car it went a bit wavy (no longer straight) and I attempted to use a hair dryer to straighten it out which helped but didn't give it that dead straight line. Then I put it back on with 3M body moulding tape, it works well but I tried to re-adjust the alignment and it pulled off some paint on the door (the 1 panel that actually looked ok paint wise). So I've kind of had to leave it wavy looking, which is annoying.. I'm going to have to figure out a way to patch up flaked paint (bonnet has a big flake missing) and do something about the rusted headlight bucket on the passenger side and rust behind rear bumper. It's otherwise a solid car. Put about 1L of transmission fluid in it and seems to have sorted the slipping gearbox. There is a leak that will need addressing and a few others under the car. I hadn't detailed the interior before the video. https://photos.app.goo.gl/djDf5i5cu8SUctEs7 But it's amazing how I feel more proud of owning it now than I have in 2 years. The blue interior really pops, the driver seat rip is sad, but I'll give the other spare set of seat trims I go at fitting. Since the foam isn't that bad underneath. Engine bay still needs a degrease and clean up which will come next. It tends to start up pretty quickly now, but I noticed it fluctuates in terms of idle in the beginning, almost as if it's hunting. Never having owned an auto Z before I don't know if it's related to it being an auto or something else? I think the chokes are probably sticky like all SU's. I do have a set of Z-therapy ones that are beautiful and I will likely install, but want to clean the engine bay first since they are "restoration" quality in terms fo finish and I don't want them getting all dirty as a result of a filthy engine bay.

FFS, it's 50 years of Z and they can't even bring it upon themselves to put them on the front cover. Seriously automotive journalists still treat the Z like a second class product. Wankers the lot of em'. No wonder I haven't bought their magazine in 20 years.
