    Looks like good value.

    I agree with Datsun Dave someone will pay 5k easy and more probably.

    Hardened Valve Seats?

    You do need hardened Valve seats for the exhaust side. They should be fitted already as standard.

    Brakes

    John that's what happens to the metal. Rob has some good suggestions, if you bring the car back with the discs screaming hot and they sit there like that they wont like it. Drilled discs sound good for cooling but you would be worse off I think. Franky mentioned a change of pads.... again it...

    Brakes

    John there is nothing complicated about the diagnosis on your brakes from the pictures. The discs are overheating to the point of destruction. You can channel more air to the brakes, you can try different pads and make an improvement. Your car needs Discs that can loose the associated heat build...

You can get twin engine single phase comps. but they are expensive. Can you time your jobs well...

    Is this worth it? 1977 260z

    Someone somewhere will give him 1500 quid for it so unlikely you're going to get it for 500 quid. Take a club member with you to have a look if anyones near by. You may be extremely lucky and it's been kept out of the weather. Ask the bloke if he would mind you lifting the carpets or get it on a...

    Compressor Question

    It will be hundreds Wes. The numbers your looking for on your air tools is CFM usage. A decent pro air DA sander will kill off the biggest single phase compressor air supply quickly. A second hand 12 CFM compressor (that's not free air delivery) will still be a few hundred quid. Have you got 3...
