Yes, the colour was changed to black. The green has been matched with the original colour that was in good condition in the tool compartments behind the seats. That is a good point, I will have to get the colour change registered.

Oh, wow, that would be my Father in law, William (Bill) Turner then! That is really nice to know.

I am not sure about that, the reg is HOK 123L, which is also strangely almost a personalised plate for me!

Thanks, it is going to be good, they have really done a great job flatting and shaping the body, it is not just panels and paint, it looks so good the pictures are hard to get all of this across.

Thanks, it has nearly broken me financially at times, I expected to go over budget, but once I was way over budget there was no way I could walk away.

Yes, it was an original RHD, been in my partner's family since the 1970s. How bad was the rust? I think the roof panel was OK. That was about it in the end, I think every panel including the filler cap cover needed some hand fettling, lots of new panels shipped in, and of course some that may...

So, we 'inherited' (paid for) the car in 2015...I had started a new job and things looked good, how could I have ever of guessed it would take this long and this amount of graft to get here! Anyway, she is now getting painted, just a few thousand more miles to go and she will be up and running...

Thanks for posting these Mike. If yellowZ does not buy these then I am happy to take these as a set. Thanks for looking these out. James

Thanks for the info - I have got a quote from Plikingtons - they offer quite a range, with tints, and good to see the reference here to S30 - I was going to have to look that up! I have included the prices and led times from Pilkingtons as a screenshot for anyone else who is looking.

Thanks for letting me know - I don't suppose you know of any companies that make good replacement ones?

Hi Mark, are there any windscreens for a 1972 240z? Thanks.

Thanks Johny. I am happy to renovate these, something I enjoy doing fixing these parts - and the internals re in very good nick, want to keep as much original as I can on this one, as it has been in the family over 30 years. Back last millennium I would just go to somewhere like CafCo and pick...

Hi all, So the body is nearly re (hand) built. Now I need to turn my attention to the bits and pieces that may make it stop and go again one day! I have searched online and have failed to find repair kits, which I didn't expect. Any recommendations? Also, I have a spare set of front chassis...
