What did you do to your Z this week?

[toopy]

Made a start on swapping my amber lenses to clear


Bit grubby inside and the shiny coating on the metal reflector is shot, prised it out for now to de-rust and zinc plate, will have to use screws to reinstate it later

Luckily these screws have been well greased, so easy to dismantle from the spoiler





cleaned up OK, going to get some stainless screws for holding the lense, so had a measure up and job on hold for now

Plenty of space Jon but don't tell everyone

Charlie Spencer's place ?
Perkins, fire up the Bentley, there's a good chap.....

Fitted new rear valence and hatch slam panel. (280 appears to be different to both the 2+2 and other 2 seaters with regard to the slam panel. Replacement needed some mods to fit.)

Then gave the backside a trial paint in my chosen colour to see if I have lost
A) - my sense of taste
B) - my mind

Nope all intact

Another red with black front spoiler, polished, photographed and driven today.

That looks well.

Stripped the turbo side of the blue car and welded a new wastegate flange on the manifold. Didn't refit it as I may try and get it ceramic coated internally tomorrow.

Re-discovered the Z, took her out for a very decent blast, fell in love again. Rediscovered the forum.

Met my old American boss for lunch who brought me lovely presents in his suitcase!

Now I need to find the time to replace the rubbers on the front and rear screens that both leak at the least sign of damp

i fitted a new style fuse box to day to run most of my ancillaries rather than have the bunch of wires sandwiched into the battery clamp.
i also started refurbishing the engine bay lamp which is slowly rusting.
and i painted my ash try the same colour as the car.

At least it's well protected from things falling from above

And if they do fall, right into the bin they go. Brilliant

 

[SacCyclone]

I cleaned it, and parked it on a neighbours drive for a photo

Jon, do you have a make on those wheels????

 

[SacCyclone]

Another red with black front spoiler, polished, photographed and driven today.

Is that your personal car? Very nice indeed.

 

[jonbills]

Jon, do you have a make on those wheels????

Mike, they're British made by 100+, who I think may be out of business. I haven't been able to find much out about them.

 

[chrisvega]

Hi Mike,
Yes one of my own personal cars. Looks understated but far from it under the skin and very quick.
L28ET with programmable injection, uprated turbo, brakes, steering, suspension etc

 

[Fairlineguy]

Bought another 240z project car.
Looks like I am going to be busy for quite some time

 

[Red7]

Bought a set of Wheels from some dodgy Essex geezer off of here who like Rock Music and drives a 260Z
