Wecome Ash. Nice to have another car on the road in Sydney. I would agree very good chance it was your car I saw on Thursday, it is a common shake down run from Hornsby to Berowra. Freeway one way and windy stuff the other. Look forward to meeting you and seeing your car at one the Sydney events. Cheers PB

Hi Mate, Will see I am placed with work travel at the time, but will put in my planner. Also, don't forget about this Sunday's run http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/14255-sydney-drive-day-20-march-2016/

What he said

Congrats, looking forward to hearing more about it.Any idea when it will get to you ? Cheers PB

Hi, If you have one and are in Sydney I will collect it for Lurch and pay cash. Can't make it easier than that. Cheers

First post updated with meeting location Australian Hotel Carpak, 1 Pitt Town Rd, McGraths Hill

Hi, I am thinking that this could great destination for a weekend drive event out of Sydney ? Still a long way off, but worth considering. Apologies for the hijack. Cheers PB

Yep, nice cars are an expensive hobby.When working out your budget the old saying is think of a number and double it, then you might be close. Cheers PB

Hi Alan How did your install go ? I fitted the NLR-132 to my bus on Friday night - very happy with the result. I now have white head lamps. Cheers PB

Hi, Took the bus for a run up the Old Pac Hwy yesterday and whilst it stayed cool when underway the temp started to creep up when sitting still or crawling along. Hopefully a fan shroud will sort that out.

Hi Bruce That is great news, I hope is it is more than a "little" better than before. Cheers PB

That might be a problem, I have a feeling that Bruce's car might be off the road at the moment.

Hi, Great news that nothing scary was hiding under the paint. Looks pretty darn good. Looking forward to seeing it with nice new paint. Cheers PB

Hi Roger I will be heading out west through Bathurst and back to Sydney Monday or Tuesday the week after next. Shoot me a PM if that could help. Cheers PB

Hi Mate That new fuel rail looks so much neater than the original one. Keep the photo's coming. Cheers

Hi I would be interested in having a read through a pdf of the glovebox manuals. Cheers PB

Hi Mate Maybe http://www.eziautoparts.com.au/engine-parts/filters/ryco-air-filter-a1238.html Cheers PB

Welcome Wags Great that you managed to keep the car, not many one owner Z's around. $30K - $40K is solid budget number, is it enough ? obviously that depends on what is needed. How is the rust situation. I agree, Ledge has a solid reputation and a look on his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/CustomAndClassicCars/?fref=ts or his website http://www.customandclassiccars.com.au/ will show his work. Another great source of restoration work is Lurch have a look at his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Classic-Auto-Fabrications-588753937823811/?fref=ts Lurch did my car. One last thing - would be great to see photo's, maybe even start a build thread ? Cheers PB

Sounds like the correct approach, but that is how things get way bigger than originally planned.

That car just proves how a Z can like alright until you strip it down, it is only then thatbthe full extent of rust can be seen

HI Mate Welcome, that looks like a pretty decent starting point, and a spares car to boot. You just can't beat the feeling of doing it yourself, when it is finished you will have a great sense of achievement. Really looking forward to following your progress on the build. Cheers PB

Hi Mate Good Luck with the Blue Slip - big day for your Z Cheers PB

Hi Martin If PriceyZed doesn't take it, I could be very interested. Cheers PB

Hi, This month is not going to work for me, I am travelling a lot with work. Cheers PB

Great news, and way cheaper than buying a complete cap. Happy Days
