I know what you mean Jane...but isn't Ebay for selling and not advertising to buy or have I missed something...anyway i've forgotten him already!

I innocently emailed the seller (buyer) who told me in several expletives what I could do with my self...If I took those expletives from his vocabulary he be a dumb mute...oh well it takes all types, including the stupid!

Thought I'd post a couple of pics of a wedding that my zed took part in a while ago, the folks just sent me the pics. rev.

Amen! we live in a country that has freedoms beyond most others that was bought with the price of life...let's also hope that the carnage of war will remain as history to our kids and our nation. Rev.

Just google a photo resizing freeware program for mac, you'll have heaps to choose from. I use 'Faststone' however I'm a PC guy so not sure if Mac is capable of running it. rev.

Jane a big fat black Texta will quickly turn a 260 into a 280....or you could just sell the 280 and shop for a 260...at least you won't have problems with the stickers then!

Hey locky...welcome to the forums. It would be a good idea to fill in where you are from this will help the other guys who mar be able to help you with info that you may require....once you Zed there's no going back! Rev.

Looks like I can take extractors of the list...Thanks Vinny Still need everything else!

what about white, grey and black?

Lurch, Craig...I've had a fair bit to do with different Tshirt suppliers and an amazingly cheap (but high quality) cap supplier as i regularly order 100's, If you want I could get a comparative quote once you have the design...for design I'd be asking Ben (dzeyene) as he does this for a living and i'm sure he'd be happy to donate his services with a few designs...I'll ask him! let me know about pricing, regardless of which way you go I'll order a shirt and cap. Rev.

Hey guys...well the new 'white beast' is well on it's way to the finish line however I still need some parts! Extractors 'BRE' type spoiler for 2+2 280zx gearbox and flywheel (or at least a flywheel as I may fix my old 260 box!) Set of lowered springs (king or the like) Thanks...any leads would be appreciated. Warm regards, Rev. P.S I know I can buy some of this stuff new however my Ruddy Munny will only buy so much!

Great idea Craig. I think the bank account will be great as it will enable some flexibilty for social functions and allow for further expansion as required in the future. As stated last year I have $50 ready for the account as soon as you organise it. Rev.

Hey Dimitri...I've got a full setup of flat tops and i'd be happy to bless you with them bro , I just have to pull them off the motor which is out of the car, let me know if you want them. Rev.

I think it will be dave's toy #2 for a few months and then it will be for sale to pay for the finish of the other Zed. Rev

Hey Evan, normally you have to replace the seals as they are hard and unusable and not pliable enough to get back in. the beauty of this car is that they were only just replaced and nice and pliable. rev.

Well today was the day and color went on! with a nice day and the spray booth ready (home made) I shot 3 coats of color and 3 coats of clear. Still have to do the black hood and flares and then put it all back together including motor and gearbox but this has broken the back of it all....it's all downhill from here!

That sounds awesome Craig, thanks on behalf of all of us for doing much of the logistical stuff that makes AusZcar a winner. Rev.

I really had enough of this whole 'bump steer' issue which was made even worse after doing some front end work on the springs, everytime there was even the hint of unevenness in the road my Zed followed it every time...I just had to hang on for the ride. I was about to fit some bump steer spacers that Sulio had given me to try and while I was looking on the net at exactly how to fit them I noticed some info from a guy that said most of the time bump steer issues can be corrected or at least made tolerable by getting an 'old school' wheel guy to do an alignment and adjustment. well I know one of these guys so I took the car to him and picked it up 2 hours later with bump steer problem 98% fixed! He said that the guy who had aligned it before didn't get it right which was causing the issues...now it drives where I tell it to drive! No spacers required! Rev.

I guess in theme it will 'look' like his however will more than likely perform more like what it really is a 'freshened' L26 with a manual conversion!

Hey Madz...it's being painted in Nissan 'classic' white and will have a black hood and trim.

hey mossy, just remember that when the gauge on these things looks empty there's at least 15 lt still in the tank!

Thanks Mick but the results come through grabbing as many moments as I can! I try and grab an hour after a dinner and do a bit and by the end of the week that's 5 or 6 hours worth of work and every couple of weeks I put in a day that starts at 8am and finishes at 10pm ( I get a day off in the week as well as Saturday) the progress is my motivation! forgot to add a couple of pictures of the rear end remodel and my drivers side door repair which had been smashed in, after beating it out and a 'smear' of filler it has come up pretty nice. Rev.

Almost there!

A few more

I thought it might be time for an update well as mentioned previously the body on this one wasn't to bad although once i got started I found a few of those usual Zed surprises! Ended up i found 3 or 4 rust areas that I cut out and plated. Body work is finished and because it is undergoing a color change (there are enough silver Zeds already!) I've pulled everything apart and have now painted the new color on all of the sills and inners and refitted panels ready for final sand and topcoat. The color is Nissan 'classic' white. I'm off for a weeks holiday and I should have it painted by the end of the month. Rev.
