Hi guys just registered so bear with me as this is my first post. I've been on zxoc and s12oc for ages and I was a member of Kieth Purdons NTOC for years but recently I acquired a Z31 after wanting one since I was a boy. I started on Cherry Turbos when I was eighteen as they were affordable, then onto Bluebirds with my 87 Silvia as my current motor which I transplanted in a rebuilt ca18det for a bit more power.
Anyways I got this one from fle-bay at the end of last year from a nice bloke who's dad was leaving it to rot in his garden. Its a very early 84 model accrording to Fast with a manual box. Since getting it, its sat under cover until the weather gets better for me to work on it. I have spent a couple of afternoons on it so far by taking out the full interior just to see what I had. The list of things I found immediately were rust in the lower 1/4's, sills, wings and the odd scab on the roof. The matrix has also been bypassed. The best bit is the na engine which starts up on the button and revs freely and has only done 87k. I'm now the proud owner of a Clarke 135TE welder which I used for the first time patching the wifes n15 Almera. I'm just hoping its upto the job when I get cracking with the Z31.....
Spoke to Mike today and I think he can get me some sills but there will be loads of stuff I will need like a matrix unless I can get mine fixed. Let me know if your breaking one or know if there are any in breakers yards. Cheers
