i sent pm but never got any answers?

yeah i dont want to run any side repeaters either but i thought i would have to for when i take it over the pits?

hah ha the parts car cost me more to get home thna it cost me to buy by the time i hired the trailer. it dosent have a drive line but its so handy just for little things. like i cracked my windscreen removing it but what the hell i have a spare.

mine is a 1976. with the bush sets there is a few for sale on us ebay. i went with the energy suspension one because it fixed a problem that the harder material had in regards to distroying the control arms. as with the flutes haha very good. that was one of the first things that i was gonna graft in but i think ive gone of them... got some pics of them but vs

what else have i done. i scored a few bargins for the car of late. got these saas bucket seats for $150. Bargin! and got these ZG flares of Zuess on wazregister.com thanks zuess. and just recived my poly urathene bush set from energy suspension from america. delivered $250 also i made me a work seat just for funfrom old parts. i think it works well in the shed hahah

i also did some work on the front guards. what i did was weld up the seam between the front headlight bucket and the guard and deleted the front indicator near by. this will hopefully visually lengthen the front guards by making that whole section smooth and not busy like original i plan to more the indicator to further back and to use these indicators from a skyline however im not 100% sure where on the back half of the panel to put the indicator? like on the skyline where it came from? ideas?

i also started work on some LED tailights. First i got all the lenses out with a heat gun and then made a small insert to go inside the lense. then i will put a whole heap of leds into and then wire up. this is what i made so far. ive got a video of the first test .

well one of the first job i tackled was the rear tail lights. i always prefered the 240z ones over mine so i went about interpreting mine into those ones cause i think the 240z ones are much less busy and make the car look a bit wider visually this is what i started with first i fibreglassed up the old reversing lights then bogged its out then primmered it out to make this. normal on the top and mine on the bottem however im thinking of moding it more somehow cause ive got to put back on the reverse lights. i bought a vn boot garnish that im gonna cut up and make a full face intergrated together with strip reverse lights just above the numberplate i think...but we will see how much enthuasim i have

Hi all my name is andrew. i started a fairly big project here and ive got big plans for my car so i thought i would keep people informed with my project beacause its a good to get ideas and i got all mine of sites like this. it would be great to hear feedback too. It began...... Well ive always had a hankering for the mighty z cars after seeing them fanging around the streets of perth. I've just finished my build of my 1977 xc ute with a 351 windsor in it but it wasnt really a very good daily in the end. Lots of power but not a nice ride and very very thirsty. i felt i was concervative with this car but i also gained a lot of confidence building cars through it so i decieded not to hold back on the zed So i decided to advertise in my friend the quokka, trading post, for a 260z project. got a call from a guy in armadale and after the haglling was done got a running but rusty 260z for $650. the car was nice but it also hid a few good suprises. she came with recovered seats, 3.7 diff, 2.8lt motor with su's, balanced crankshaft and a 5 speed, rust free doors but a bit of rust in the usual places. only got photos of her in her underwear i also scored a parts car for 50 bucks. rusty as hell but handy to have.

yeah i had seen that but i was a bit reluctant to pay the $600 i think it was to get it done. Was looking for a cheaper option in the cap

Hi like most ppl i got a really cracked up dash in my 260z. Ive looked into the repair side of it but i was wondering if any1 sells a cap. I can find plenty in the US for LHD dashs but none for the aussie zeds. Ideas? Andrew
