  3. Come on guys, so many views and yet so quiet!
  4. Bump. New price, lots of new photos and a video added!
  5. Bump. Thanks for all the comments and best wishes guys, and Happy new year!
  6. Chris: The car is manual (first post updated) George: Thanks mate
  7. Can you tell me how much you want for both? PM is fine. I am happy to arrange pickup (I am in Sydney also)
  8. Thanks for this info John! Really appreciated
  9. Isn't this post a couple of days early?
  10. fufu: I have a list like this on my work PC, I'll post up the details tomorrow, so please update the first post once I have. Thanks!
  11. nuclear_z: Any idea on how much they charge for a tune? Who would I need to speak to there?
  12. Won't be able to make this guys. My Z is no where near ready for the road. Maybe next month.
  13. Warren, I am keen to see how the first batch's buyers go with their install. Are you anticipating any photos and have you had any feedback on the kits you have sent already?
  14. Evan, I deal with a large freight forwarder in the US. Do you want to email me more details? Maybe I can help.
  15. Do you have any pictures of it? I am interested ...
  16. Pauly the car looks fantastic. Congrats on the new wheels
  17. Not a major update. I spent the last couple of hours empty the car of all the junk inside (carpet laying loose behind the seats, a million and one bolts, nuts, washers, cans of various types, from paint, oil, and a half drank bottle of V) I moved onto vaccuming (didn't make a huge difference, but made me feel a little better I guess). Tomorrow I will give the interior surface a good wipe down with cloth and some warm water (don't worry I won't soak the interior) The current issues I am worried about are: * Passenger side window: It's currently misaligned, so that when I wind the window all the way up, there's a gap of about 5 cm at the B-pillar. I have pulled the door trim off, and tried to figure out a way of accessing the glass and how it's mounted, hoping I could adjust it, but I can't see how, as the outer and inner door skins are welded together (well, they look like it). Not sure what to do. I'll have another look at it tomorrow. * Mounting the Seats The bolts that hold the seat rails onto the chassis seem to be a little rooted. Plus, accessing under the seat once it's in position ready to be bolted in is a b*tch. * Installing new seat belts I am going to get some new seat belts for this car. The 1973 sash belts don't look like they'll help me much if I ever end up in mischief. I'll be shopping around for these later this week, to see what's available. * Remove and re-install Suspension I will remove the suspension sometime later next week, and adjust the car's height so it's in it's proper position (at the moment, there's "washers" between the chassis and the strut tops, which make the car heigher than factory height). This was done by another owner. Once this is done, I hope I can take the car for an alignment and check and make sure everything is okay. Some of you are probably rolling your eyes at my "new to old car ownership" thoughts. It's okay, I am sure I'll look back at this and do the same Right now, I am a mixture of the following two feelings: "how the heck did I ever think I could do all this by myself" and "I can't wait until the car's finished so I can take it for a ride" If there's anyone in the Liverpool area who's handy with tools, has knowledge of Zeds, and is willing to help me out with some of the above tasks, I'd be greatful. Either way, I'll be tackling some of the above issues next week
  18. Just for the record, if I am ever lucky enough to own a plane, I am keeping it!
  19. Looks like I'll sort out the brakes and suspension alone this weekend :'(
  20. I know I am new here (still) so forgive the silly question, but, is there some competition as to where Z's being sold end up? or am I missing something?
