  1. Now that the wedding hype has died down a bit. 1 thing we discovered on the car that explains why I had so much trouble getting the window crank back on with the new door trims was the fact that my passenger door, is not a 240z door! We have managed to make it work for now, but it's less than ideal.. I've found quite a few questionable changes like this on my 72 240z. To think I originally was too scared to do the rust repair on it as I was worried I'd mess it up.. In hindsight I would have likely done a good job compared to some of the work that was done in previous years. Then again these cars were pretty cheap and nobody wanted to really invest proper money to do things right. So this must be an early 260z 2 seater door. Which was "modified" to suit my 240z. See if you can spot the "hack" jobs. Lucky I have a spare 240z door (driver door from an HLS30), which is relatively solid, has a few minor issues that I need to tackle, but shouldn't require too much love to make right. Tricky part will be painting it (since I put that 240z decal on the sides.. Oh and we finally fitted an undertray..although a couple of bolts had snapped off years ago and getting them out and re-tapping was just not gonna happen (at least not now).
  2. I believe Jim is since deceased and the car is in possession of a friend/family. Zshop would know more.

  9. Nice my 71 240z (white/blue) still has this, although it's no longer black but brown colour. Do you have many of these? Would like to get the original style keys too!
  10. Hi mate, To embed Youtube clips just copy the raw URL into the text area and the software will automatically detect it's a Youtube URL and attempt to embed it for you. If you add it as a link it will remain as text instead. I see a lot of folks making this mistake. Although I think the problem might have been the video was still processing and the software couldn't find the video until it was finished. Fixed it now.
  11. Yeah worth burning that Rocket Bunny kit..

  13. I thought it would get to $60k..but perhaps a little early for that or perhaps if a few of the minor details were more correct it would have gone even higher?
  14. I was just in the Eltham area on Friday. Checking out a Mudbrick house.. shame the rear of the property was flood zone, no use building a garage for Z's there! https://photos.app.goo.gl/ozuGbDrpwejkaUe26
