260...Z on a farm...in Yorks !

The background is almost certainly the old 'Z Farm'. I think you will find that Duncan is still involved in the classic Z scene (and remains very competent in his work). There is a distinction (often confused) between bankruptcy and insolvency which even now the BBC get wrong. Take a look at the definitions.

Ok. The Z farm as a company ceased trading, the history is all out there online. The company the Z farm had to be dissolved? A few companies house checks show's all the details.

Now, zfm motorsport are trading as 'the z farm'.

Thanks Matt :bow: :thumbs:
Looks nice but maybe just a little subdued, needs to be little more out there, maybe something like on this Ghibli which looks stunning and screams 70's as much as shag pile carpets and avocado bathroom suites. Perhaps we need to move most of the threads on here to one titled about colour now rather than ZFM related ? 113 Metallic Green looks good Franky but needs a little tweaking for me.

There's a thread somewhere with a PShop I did for johnymd of a modern Audi green he wanted to see on a Z ... the colour was akin to the Maserati above but a bit darker. When picking the colour for my Mustang respray, it took a looooong time to decide on dark red. Then the paint guy gave me a whole book of dark reds to look through (and so the process went on)

The jade colour is a bit of a funny one, its completely changes depending on the light. Sometimes more silver like and others more green. No photos really do it justice without seeing it in the flesh but if you google it you'll see several different versions.

I guess you really need to decide whether you want to stick with a factory colour or not first? Safari Gold still gets my vote and has that 70's vibe but there's so many cool and crazy options, generally pastel colours really work on thee old cars though imo.

I have a couple of cars to restore/paint Woody. Decided to stick to factory colour with the nut n bolt HS30 resto. and leaning towards 920 Gold at moment. Will be something different/non-original on an HLS30 260Z.
