  1. Hello Mate Sounds youve got a good solid base car, sadly rust is the ( killer ) car and pocket wise, there is really no cheap fix although cheaper if you can do it yourself, but you say your not game... With the list of goodies you want to do and depending how bad the termites are you would be looking at a minimum of $10k to $15k plus to bring her back up to speed..
  2. Lurch..... Your more old school tech than I thought....perfect... no need to tell you to check each radius stretch from side to side and adjust your block as you go......... I use a block of soft pine I got from a packing crate There are of course more modern pieces of equipment on the market that bolt onto your wheel studs etc.......if thats your thing
  3. Simplest way..... I had the same issue on my ZX, I made my own new links, very easy to do, get a set of jewelers files and file the block terminals NB:There was a post on the forum from a member who was making and selling the links for a couple of dollars each if you dont have the materials yourself
  4. Sensational buy.... I guess that makes a few of us GREEN with envy.........
  5. Recieved mine 22/6... Cheers...
  6. Old dogs for the hard road and PUPPIES for the pavement..........
  7. Good result.. Whats the story. things just dont repair themselves or come good over night
  8. Id like to see some pics of this if youve got some....Im finding it very hard to even imagine a car with electric steering..............servo assist perhaps, but not straight out electric
  9. Another piece of useless information......... Did you kinow that matte black is the coolest colour of the spectrum....not white...
  10. So Teach, was that a B+ for helping clean up those exhaust bends.....
  11. Ditto... I do the same.....have never had any issues,works a treat especially with the V8's
  12. Or you can install one of these puppies....... Solid mount.........
  13. Nice job Mate.... I must say that will be very very QUICK.......... Any chance of some more pics and perhaps some detail info?
  14. This is what youll be looking for as an end result....personally Id remove the footrest option
  15. Allgood Look forward to some more.... Cheers
  16. A bit of a waste of good old school style rims.. Usually use Plebodore pursuit rims for trailers..
  17. Nice tips, clean and tidy Z also.. matches his garage... I wonder if he does any work in it...
  18. Lurch Whats been happening with your ride... Long time no posts....or pics
  19. LOL Perhaps one too many reefers back in the day........
  20. Welcome Bob.... Besides the 240 and a choice between the 260 Twins, you could always pick yourself up a Luxo Sled. the stylish 280zx....
  21. Its always preferable to patch / weld, the job will take you all but a few minutes once youve prepped Bodgy bogged panelwork will eventually cause you dramas. A general rule, bog really should only be used as a surface finisher after your metal repair
  22. Jump on Ebay or do a Google search There are many sellers.......
  23. Good Work Sach........ Glad they turned out for you, you started small, now onto bigger things... NB: Grab an old panel from the wreckers and practice your painting, it wont take you long, there are plenty of good simple reading technical articles / books to get you started youll be surprised how easy it can be once you understand the principles
  24. As others have said, most suppliers will have a pattern already on file for your make and model, all you need to do is call, I got a complete set for my ZX over the phone, paid by CC and had them in my hands in about a week to 10 days... Anyway, your call, just didn't want you doing a Big Kev.......
