O.K guys check out the link for the work day at Maygz place! http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,9099.msg87446/topicseen.html#msg87446

Ok guys! Let's see what a mobilised bunch of passionate ZED HEADS can accomplish in a weekend! As a result of the fun, innovative ideas, motivation and BS that comes about everytime we all get together at a 'workshop Day', Sirpent (John) has come up with a brilliant idea of how we can 'pay forward' some of the assistance we have all received as a result of being a part of the AusZcar family. If we can get a dozen guys to put in a dozen hours helping Simon (Maygz) to get his 240z further down the 'resto road' we have the potential of seeing Simon at a cruise this side of 2012! if you have experience in panel work, motor work, brakes, general disassembly/reassembly or you can hold a sander, hold a spanner or hold a conversation then why not sign up here and see if we can get this day/s happening. Who knows if we get enough experienced hands we may do another Zed at the same time and if the 'cheaper by the Dozen Day' works out you may be a beneficiary next time!!!!! Possible dates are May 14/15 or May 21/22 O.K Start Listing if you are coming, any specific skills and what tools you can bring. We will update specific tasks here. 1. Sirpent (John) 2. Zedman (Dimitri) 3. Rev (Dave) 4. Bruce (The other Bruce) 5. Scoota G (Mark) 6. Lurchos (Locky) 7. Mossy - maybe 8. OldZman (Loui) - Maybe 9. Madz (Jane) 10. Peter Mac (Peter!)

OK, so I'm willing to assist in coordinating this! I think I'll start a new thread and put up a proposed date and list of skills, tools and materials needed. We need to look at accommodation etc to see if we can make this work. Rev.

+1 I'm up for it! Rev.

Well done Benj, it will be finished in no time, you just need to get your old man over to give a hand.

Joel, 2+2's will always fetch a good price and yes the value of them is steadily increasing. The tension is that there are more 2+2's that need major resto and there are alot of people who would identify with you and are drivers rather than restorers. In my experience a restored 'turn Key' 2+2 will fetch 75% of it's 2 seater sibling. Rev.

I guess it does have a tidy interior, you would just need to pick it up under the cover of darkness with a ski mask....oh and a bucket for when you needed to turn your head!

Have a great day Scoot! Rev

Hope all goes well Pete, I'm sure it will pass with flying colors! Rev.

Sorry guys, being a Sunday now I won't be able to make it. Rev.

Not really John, just means that the odds of me obtaining a particular Zed I was hoping for are now pretty slim! Rev.

+1 and probably minus a Zed Rev

I'll be there 'embarrasingly' Zedless Rev.

Matt, dude what can I say your a biggafella than I! man that is a mammoth task and you are doing an excellent job, well done. This is going to be a sweet victory when this one thunders down the highway, who said anything is to far gone, certainly not Matt! Rev.

This is just my observations after only being a forum member for 4 years. This used to be a forum for the exchange of ideas, parts, the occasional attempt at humor and the odd snipe at someone...things have changed, and for the better! We are now, more than ever more of a Zed community and community by it's very nature means that we are about building relationships with like minded people as well as building our cars. Cars come and go (I'm testimony to that! ) but the friendships made remain. I recently caught up with the Ballarat boys who I hadn't seen in months and it was like getting handshakes from my closest friends (which many of you guys on the forum acually are!) Forums, and who posts what and who donates when has some protocols but lets never forget that if it protocols become the standard by which someone is accepted or not then this will quickly move from being a community of Zed enthusiest to an information portal for the anonymous. Let's have a reality check guys and not major on the minors, we all lost a friend last year and the year before, that was MAJOR - someone loses a bargain, that's a MINOR. Let's just keep building on the things that will make us a stong community and forget the stuff that will take us toward Obsolescence. Rev

Hey Pete, I give a €>~<|¥€ Awesome job! What is the bar that you fit to the spoiler? Is it for stability. Rev.

awesome John, so pleased for you man! Rev.

what's the price Benji?

Seems like something has happened on the passenger side (or both) as the original headlamp buckets are metal not FG. You mention that a metal one is fitted on the side of suspected damage and FG on the drivers, I would have expected it to be the other way around. You may find that it had a hit in the front with most damage occurring on the passenger side with a small amount on the drivers, hence the FG Bucket. Try and have a look at the rails in the engine bay, if the vehicle has sustained a decent impact these will tend to get a kink or 'gathering' in the steel. Let's hope all is fine, great job on your write up. Rev.

Just move it into another room of the house where it is out of the way, nothing worse than stubbing your toe on an L28 when you get outta bed! I got this tip from some friends of mine in Alabama when I was in the States! Rev.

Have an awesome day Janie, praying that the best is yet to come. Rev.

ZG Flares for sale, never fitted (new), finished in satin black $250 o4o962o443 Rev.

I just found out that there's a button missing :-\

Ash, I think you are sanding at the back of the line bro! Rev.

Pfft! I've read the book (The Bible) and it's all there, though many believe it's a musty old history book however it's full of current affairs and no these disasters are not the wrath of an angry God! Very sad for the people of Japan, this kind of disaster is devastating. Rev.
