Thanks all for your comments so far. Will be great to see all these ZX's, looking forward to seeing one on the stand at the NEC!
Got a few more bits off for powder coating and hopefully fit a later spec steering pump to go with the steering rack conversion. The rocker cover has had to go back for re-coating due to an unfortunate incident. Should all be done for when I get back.
I've yet to start the interior Mrs H. But it will stay as original as possible for now, the forward cabin panels are in good condition and have managed to source some new old stock original seat covers in the silver blue combination. However, the boot panels are all knackered and peeling off the backing, so will probably recover them in a dove grey vinyl. It should not look too bad against the original colours in the front and it matches the plastic bits.
Had a quote from Coverdale carpets who say they can do the complete carpet sets for a 280ZX 2 seater. This includes the front set, boot and the parcel shelf plus the other bits and pieces in the rear. They do various options from a polypropylene to a luxury wool range (prices to match!). The colour ranges look pretty good too but they are not cheep. Has anyone used them if so what was the quality like?
Cheers
