Thank you! Sounds ominous though aha

Thought I'd share the better halfs truck on its way from Thailand. Feels like it's been on a boat forever... Problems with the red sea. Got a windscreen coming from Japan (in a car) which is suffering the same problem. Couldn't get one from the UK because of the lane assist on my Levorg STI is...

There should be as I'm fairly confident the instruments went in after! Good question though... Odd! Couldn't upload anything at 2mb/3mb a picture. Probably user error, not been here as much as I'd like.

Had to check this as you could be right. Screenshot attached of the kind of detail on the pre-made ones which worried me, looking at the cost of these covers too (£400?) I am definitely happy with what I've paid and the outcome. It's around the clocks mostly and across some of the sections...

Absolutely love the BJ40s. Definitely on the list for the future... Nice setup @Fairlineguy. The magazine pictures make it look like this was taken 40 years ago - am I right in saying it's actually 2023 though?? Timeless motors, both of them.

Set that one up for you! I thought the price was good for the quality of work and it really makes the interior. I had quotes a couple of years ago which were more in the region of 3k - but that included labour to remove and reinstall whereas this was just repair and cover. Dunno, is it good...

The guys sent it off to someone they use for re-trimming, it's custom made. Apparently they had to scan the dash to figure out where to reverse stitch it? I think this means that I don't have as much stitching showing as the ones you can get pre-made? Either way, looks absolutely fantastic. I...

Would be plastidipped anyway so presume this would be fine! https://www.eastkenttrimsupplies.com/datsun-240z-260z-280z-screen-chrome-insert-c2x24695403 https://www.eastkenttrimsupplies.com/datsun-240z-260z-280z-tailgate-seal-c2x24696451 Guess I'll need those and then all the joints? That's...

It's been another slow year on the Z. Painful as I'm pretty desperate to get in it now. I've basically said to the team just get what is left back together so we can get it on the road and anything else we can do as we go. Dropped the ECU Master Classic off to them last week and took some...

This is a great thread and definitely inspires me to get out more. Looks fantastic and hope you continue to have a great time!

This was it as of yesterday. Don't even know where to start in terms of listing what's happened, very much just been leaving the guys to it... Off the top of my head: - Alarm system and remote locking system installed, rear hatch solenoid fitted for popping the boot - Jenvey ITBs all fitted up...

Some pictures of it starting to go back together. New carpets in and head painted. Subaru rack with power steering fitted.

I've done a terrible job of keeping this thread up to date, guess life kinda just gets in the way of these things. Progress has been slow for the last year, but we're determined to get it on the road for summer. Here's some pictures of the shell when we got that back late last year.

Paint is going super slow so the guys are just chipping away at a few bits. Subframes all came back and have been bolted together, suspension and brakes together. Amazingly they squeezed them inside the 15" but of course, the rear hand brake won't work. Need to figure out what 16" wheels I want...

The LHD panel was in worse condition, otherwise I would agree. I'm unsure which would have been quicker in fairness; the RHD one was like bumpy and seemed warped whereas the LHD had a few big nasty dents with one in the middle of the vents I would have imagined would be difficult to resolve...
