Got them from All Z Parts for $495.00 Each plus $110.00 Freight.

Well the new guards have arrived from All Z Parts and I must say Warren done a good job of packing them. All I need now is to fit and paint them. This is the daunting part for me and I am still looking for some one to help in this matter. All I can say is HELP. If you are in the south side of Bris and want to help a fellow Z car owner or want to make a few extra bucks send me a PM. Thanks.

Just click on the little man under posts and you can see where we are. Hope this helps. I am closer to him than you Loui.

Have two spare coils if you want to try them before out laying $

Do you reciepts for the work done. Sorry but have already bought one that was stuffed.

John, Glad you are happy with the extactors, The car has been redone quite a few years ago and the yellow under coat is K&K primer filler. I have resprayed the engine bay and inside door, boot lid areas already with K&H acyrlic paint and clear top coat and had no problems. I am only going to do the same with the rest as can't afford the 8 to 14K I have been quoted for a respray from several body shops. I have done a Sunny for my daughter in this manner before and it turned out allright. The car won't see a lot of sunlight so I will keep my fingers crossed. Will do a small test area first but the areas I have done are OK. This car is not going to be a show car but a very good looking Sunday driver for and old fart and his missus. If I can convince her it is safe. Gave her quite a few frights in the old 1600 out in the bush many years ago. Thanks for your help but not being a pro painter it is hard to understand some of your comments. Thanks anyway.

PM sent. Had the brake lines done at Springwood Brake and Clutch. They rekitted front and rear cylinders and supplied new masters for brake and clutch as well as rebuilding brake booster at a resonable price.

Well I finally decided to respray the bus before all the new interior goes in. Started to rub her down and waiting for new front guards to turn up. The old ones have the headlight pods welded on and need some minor repair so I am sticking with original looks as have two spare sets of pods to go on. Old guards are up for grabs if any one wants them cheap. Not sure how far back I should go with the rub down so any comments will be greatfully accepted also hints on do don't does on resprays. God I love working on the Z. Gets me out of a lot work around the house.

My parts car is going to be a trailer or maybe a small caravan. Make that a camper trailer. What do you think lads?

Thanks mate, I found it. My car is still in rebuild stage and ready for paint but I am not to sure whether to have a go myself or get the pro's to do it. Check it out in my thread peter t's project. Would like to have it done before all new interior goes in.

Thanks Steve but can not get the link to work. Have you any idea what that sort of job would cost to anyone else?

Its not good mate that why it's my parts car. I have seen worse out there but you seem to be in a hurry for a good one. Like I said it will go the dump when I strip it unless someone wants it.

Looks great, what did the job cost and who did it?

Where the hell are you going to find a 74 with little or no rust. I have one if you want to check it out. Needs work but you may be able to salvage it. Very cheap also. Parts car that will go to the dump when stripped. Give us a shout.

Thanks heaps, I will take you up on the offer as I am hopeless with panel work. You will have to drop around one weekend and check out my car. I will pm details.

Have tracted down the builders of this fg shell in the UK. Will post all info as it comes to hand. Any one interested in getting together and bring one of these to OZ? I sure don't have the funds to do it alone.

Yes mate. I took the rocker off to make sure oil was pumping and to check timing. Pulled pump apart and the diaphram is a bit dodgy so I will try a new one.

Well I finally fired her up today. Couldn't wait any longer so I put the dash in and the new motor has had its first run. Small problem. I had to fill the carbie bowls with feul as the mechinal pump won't suck up fuel. I have double checked the feul lines to make sure they are hooked up to the right pipes but no fuel will come. And yes I did put some petrol in the tank. Has any one got some idea what could be the problem?

Just need to finish car and I will be with you every time. Do we have any one willing to help with panel and paint on guards then I am away. (Logan)

I will get in line also. PM me if all else fails as I have a parts car that the body is stuffed and would make a good project when I finish the current one.

Yes John as postage is only about $20 and I really don't need them. I bought them from Maximum Performance. Only been bolted up then removed as per my build thread. If you want them just give me the ok and I will pm my bank details to you and get them to you.

Yes mate, Square ports as per pic. Pipes OD 1.630 into 2 into 2.5 inches as good as I can measure.

Brand new L24-L26 extractors for sale. Cost $300 Sell $200 inc. postage. Decided to go with standard manifold and system off parts car as it is near new.

Well I decided to pull the exhaust system off the parts car so I have a set of extracters for sale. Replaced extracters with the standard exhaust manifold and will get the whole system in tomorrow.
