    My '76 280z project

    Been bolting bits on ready for the car getting collected to go for paint. Got a small job out the way, the clips that hold the inspection lids down were dissolved during the chemical strip. Tried some tool clips but they weren’t too clever. Solution I came up with was glue some small but strong...

    My '76 280z project

    Well, mechanically she’s now a right hand drive. I don’t have the brackets for the rhd accelerator pedal so had to chop the end off the original pedal with its bracket and spring and use that, and make one for the left hand side (used part of a sliding bolt from b and q for the ‘U’ section, ...

    Will do mate, Still got to move the brackets for that across from the other side, along with the reinforcing plate for e steering column. I’m going to use a cable for the throttle so not bothered with the linkage bracket on the bulkhead

    My '76 280z project

    Made a start this weekend, stripped the battery tray and a few brackets stripped out. Got the bulkhead panel lined up, and test mounted the dash and pedal box. The air intake for the heater needs moving to the other side, plus the pedal box wouldn’t fit as the upper section sits lower on that...

    So, bit of an update, she is due to go off for paint this month hopefully, but I’ve had a last minute change of plan regarding which side I will be driving from lol. Picked up a mint RHD 260z dash this weekend, along with heater box, steering rack, wiper linkage and pedal box. Plus bulkhead...

    Rears are 10.5 x 15 -37et I kind of wished I’d gone for the same up front, but wanted to keep the tyre a bit skinnier for ease of steering. So will prob have to run spacers on the fronts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My '76 280z project

    Well, looks like I’m overdue a catch up on here. The car is now painted underneath and also did the inside and engine bay. She’s sat on bc coilovers, poly bushed all round etc. Got a couple more jobs to do before she goes for paint, such as finish the brackets for the Frp bumpers and cavity...

    Best place for ZG arches

    They were well Packaged to be fair, wrapped in that spongy packaging paper, in a strong box with corner reinforcing strips. Fit really is bob on...if I wanted to be really pedantic I found a small fault on one where the weave was joined and the gel coat was opaque on that bit. But it’s hardly...
