  1. Update time! well it's been a lot of finding stuff and reassembly! it's so far coming up real nice as I've been able to sort most of what i need, here's a few pics. manual conversion has been done as far as pedal box to Master cylinder, gearbox is sitting on the shed floor waiting to be bolted on and then motor in, fuel tank, lower the springs and....(there's always an and at then end of any project!)
  2. Hey guys, I'm in the process of putting everything back together on the 'new' zed and for the life of me can't find the door latches that fit on the body of the car (not the part on the door!) I know i took em' off but??? ???anyhow I need latches from both sides it has to be a from 1975 down (as they changed in 76 to different latches) if anyone can help it would be appreciated. Regards, Rev.
  3. Guys...Shannons promises a lot and delivers nothing near it...I recently had quotes at my preferred repairer for 6000 and Shannons would only approve it at $3000 so the preferred repairer option is a farce! They were hard to deal with in a claim (8 weeks) and then altered my no claim bonus when it was vandalism and not my fault. So...it's a good idea to make sure you ask them some scenarios in regards to possible claims before committing your dollars to them. Rev.
  4. Sorry to hear Mick but thankful you're O.K and the Zed, while a little 'ruffed' up will live on. Rev.
  5. Not on this planet! the best deal is to lurk around some of the forums that deal with some of the Ae86 stuff, you may pick up some rims to fit there. When the Au$ hits 80 U.S cents I will be bringing in some sportsMaxx rims which will be $600 AU for the set, till then keep looking on Ebay and other forums. Rev.
  6. Hey Dimitri, the new Master seemed to be the same size as the one I pulled off I ordered it through Bursons. I bled it at the slave through having someone depress the pedal...hope that gives some further info. Rev.
  7. I thought I might ask the questions as to why my clutch seems a little soft and engages so quickly when releasing it. I thought it may be the leaking master cylinder so I replaced it, bled it and it seems a 'little' better (I think) but it just feels different than it used to, any ideas? Rev.
  8. My guess is right now the boys would be sitting back enjoying a couple of cold ones after an awesome day on some of Vic's great roads...so cheers Rev.
  9. I would start a new business called 'The Zed Emporium' everything from full restorations to a clubhouse out the back with a bar for the AusZcar boys and girls, we'd double up and hold church there on sundays! Rev.
  10. hey guys...I know there are a few zeds out there that are parts cars at the moment so here goes! I need the hard line and rubber hose that goes from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder, this is for my manual conversion any help would be appreciated. regards, Rev.
  11. Sorry guys...but I'm unable to spare the weekend away from work as I've got sick staff which means 'I'm it!' I'll be praying you guys have a safe and exciting trip to the grampians, catch you on the next time around! Rev.
  12. How quickly a tiger can change its stripes
  13. Hey Dimitri, if it's a 2+2 rear panel and he's keen to sell I would be interested. May also be interested in your red one, gotta check finances first! Rev.
  14. Look out for that one on trading post they are old pics, I have new ones and the thing is now a rotisserie job! Rev.
  15. Big thanks again to Craig, Lurchos and Sulio for a big effort in planning and delivering a great night. It's great to be a part of something where information and resource sharing is freely sought and offered and a genuine love for all things 'ZED' is the common ground. Well done AusZcar!
  16. looking forward to it guys, just wished I had the new Zed ready to go....maybe next meet! anyhow it looks like I'll bring 1 or 2 others, sorry to hear about the knee Dale, it's a 'dog' of a thing to happen, hopefully Scoot won't continue to 'hound' you about it! see you all tomorrow! Rev.
  17. Fantastic, congratulations to both you, your wife and your son, I am sure she will be a great blessing to you all. Rev.
  18. Looking forward to catching up with the guys...anything I can bring to help craig? Rev.
  19. One last try...going...going...
  20. I think I will need a 60 - 65 profile. Rev.
  21. Hi guys...I thought with benzed selling so many wheels that maybe someone needs to offload some 15" tyres! prefer 225's but will look at others. Thanks. Rev.
  22. Hey hunter, it would be great for us 2+2 restorers to have a model of the bus so that we can play with different ideas. Rev.
  23. Hi Pete...I went to clark rubber and bought a sheet of high density closed cell foam (which is what they make the gaskets out of and then took the old one and used it as a template and simply cut it out. Ended up as a perfect fit with no leaks either water or exhaust. Hope that helps. Rev.
  24. Chicken man...you're a deadset champ...I'm a little worried about the poor PVC man after seeing your affectionate embrace! I think 'll stop there...remind me to carefully check any large wrapped boxes at my next party! Rev.
  25. That second one looks the business Craig, perhaps we could see this as the 'beginning' of the merchandise range rather than the end. If we can begin with some shirts and caps we can always expand to other seasonal type apparel as we find out prices and availability. This simply gives us a start... Rev.
