    can I fit an extra silencer?

    That really sounds nice, even louder than my track car with an L28 and triples. One of my street cars had dual glass pack mufflers 18" i think.......it was still too loud for the street. I ended up with 5 glass pack mufflers and it was great for the street with a raspy high note at full...

    Changes to DVLA Historic status

    Do I understand the DVLA to say that it is permissible to change the picture frame " left hand drive to right hand drive" and still be in compliance with Historic status? Or is it something else they are saying? Mike

    1971 240Z Blue/Blue Cali Baked

    Sad to see this one go but it is going to a great home across the pond. Lots of great communication with the buyer and I'm sure they will treat this car with the care it deserves, maybe even start their own thread on this forum so we can all tag along.

    Replaced the steering wheel and horn pad today, replaced the license plate lamp, replaced the ignition switch with a working key, replaced the steering column clamshell, did some tidy up on the door panel. I am running out of spares so this will take a lot more time if I buy another similar...

    Installed rear spoiler, radio antenna, cleaned up spare tire well, installed jack, and spare wheel fiber board cover. Still need to treat the exposed metal on the deck floor but happy there are no holes.....

    Just talking to a few mates about this last week in the states... One chap just had his 68 Mustang painted at a Maaco (low end single stage painter) and paid $7K....everyone thought is was a decent price but it did have some orange peel. Nice base clear paint jobs that were $7K - $10K pre...

    Replaced the clutch and pressure plate today as the current clutch was giving me a lot of chatter. Turns out that after we removed the clutch we could see that the rear main seal was leaking slightly so that was replaced at the same time. Rear brake shoes, and rear brake lines replaced today as...

    Made some big progress this week on the Zed. Replaced the repaired front wing and replaced both headlight scoops with original fiberglass ones I had squirreled away. Swapped out the newer style wheels with a set of Panasport Racing wheels I had in spare, really changes the looks of the car for...

    Sunbaked '76 Cali 280z

    Beautiful job.... I've been looking at something like this dry ice machine for those inner arch jobs.....I think it would make quick removal of dirt, undercoating and mastic...

    I really like the 3M product. Just hit it with some black etching primer for exposed metal, if you have any, and then the 3M product. Seems to work pretty well. IMO

    Yes, found some 3M undercoat that sprays thin as opposed to thick so I went with that and just did one coat for coverage but still easy to remove later on.

    Replaced the broken DS headlight bucket today and prepped the inner wing to accept the repaired wing next week. Also removed the front cheek panels and center valance to do a little repair on them since I have things torn apart..... All in all I'm really happy with the condition of this car.

    Considering getting this, thoughts?

    At first glance it looks like a tidy car for 25K. The 73 model in the states would have come from Datsun with a 4 speed manual or 3 speed auto box. If you are not very familiar with these cars, take someone with you that knows them well and check the usual rust places like the floors, front...

    1971 240Z Blue/Blue Cali Baked

    Removed rear bumper today and got it straightened, not perfect but much better and at least it won't be installed upside down this time. Removed the front DS wing and began to straighten out the sheet metal from a light punt just behind the tire. Also going to weld up all the holes the...
