zzzzed

yeh ben not fast enough for my liking Sorry i didn't get back to you on your turbo gear i got hit with an unexpected large traffic fine that killed the idea at the time ill give you a buzz next time im over your way ill come see your progress

looks tidy but the wheels make me want to vomit

that is just wrong and such a waste

i picked up some ZG flares over the weekend for the 240z. I got them cheaper because they are untrimmed straight out of the molds. I modeled them on my 1964 blue bird just for a for a bit of fun

maybe he needs to run the l24 block for his class

i took some time out to play with this one tody The sterio has been cuting in and out as it pleased so i thought i would take a look. It seemed that the previous owner didnt know what electrical connections or a soldering iron are. All the wires where just twitched together and left. Thank god he found the electrical tape. I am surprised how much more bass it is pumping out now i have soldered all the connections. Now I have to work out where my high beam has gone. It stays on low beam when flicking the switch to high? that i will leave for another day

your yonger than me then I was born in 1971

I would say either the gtst skyline or silvia would be the best bang for buck. Far less running costs involved, but finding one that hasn't had the pants thrashed off it might be more difficult

lol nothing like woodstock hey mate the early days of the big day out where better for a number of reasons, like being able to sneak in alcohol without being caught and the ticket price was only about $70. For that was good value

i would love a 2 seater 280zx I would even consider importing one

you could get a very nice 280zx for the prtice you would pay for a z32

nothing like the good old days sound garden silver chair grin spoon prodigy nine inch nails off spring cruel sea the cult ect ect

i think there is a very average line up this year I love the muse two but their new album is a bit ho hum!!

very nice I have saved this page to my desk top for when i get to this point

lawn mower maby :-\

hell no

sorry should have made my self clearer i didn't use stripper on every panel i used the sander for a lot of it As far as paid work, i do work in a crash shop that has at least two resto jobs at one time. I am the only panel beater there I am on my 9th body resto since i have been there ranging, from gt falcons to comby vans (the comby won best VW at show at the Melbourne vw day) to early corollas, plus a cople of my own. My boss leaves it up to the customer if he wants to have the car sand blasted other wise its up to me to strip them i usualy only use stripper on the removable panles so i can lay them flat when applying the stripper

yes i have been stripping the paint as i go so the metal isnt exposed for any longer than it has to be it is now 90% striped and i have used 1 litre of stripper so it has been very expensive and because i have been striping as i go it hasnt been so tedious, If i was more financial i probably would have gone the soda blast also but $2000 can buy me some new upholstery or new rims

i usually only use the stripper as a last resort usually i use the sander grinder with between 36 to 80 grit Also be careful with this method because if you go to hard in one place you can over heat the panel and cause warping

rev cant help him self he loves to buy orphan zeds

36 grit strips it off pretty fast but before you apply under coat go over it again with 120 or 180 grit any stripper will do It can get a bit messy though. especially on acrylic paint. With acrylic it melts it instead of making it lift and bubble which makes clean up harder

soda /sand blasting is the most affective, but personally i would rather spend the money in other areas. yeh I know it is hard and tedious but with a combination of a air sander paint stripper and a bit of elbow grease i can strip a car in a day. if you don't have time or or patience go the sand blasting though

nice mate I have one in mid restoration that is the same colour. Welcome th the club

very nice I love seeing 280zx's done up. There is one in particular on hybrid zed that makes me drool every time i see it

i fixed my door gap today. as you can see from the first pic it was a bit wide. This was the bit i was worried about the most, but i am more than happy with the results
