Looks like a clean shell. Nice.
What's your plan? Is she going to be stock or modified?

Yeah! She's all cleared! No $200 vaccum / steamclean from MPI! straight through!

Super quick but of course now i'm away for the long weekend
Oh well nice delivery next week.

Thanks for your comment. Personal experience is invaluable.
I'm pretty fussy about the quality and from what I've seen they take a pride in all their work.

I have my moments when I would.....then others when I wouldn't.
Garage is getting very very full!!

Yes. Angles are all ok.
Downloaded the TREMEC app that calcs it all through iPhone placement on appropriate faces.
wonders of modern technology!!

Nice ass!!

Spent the other day putting on the doors and guards etc to get all the panel alignment right, well as good as it can be. First time in many many years that things have been hung all at once. Quite a milestone I guess. Engine came out after all the mounts were done and driveshaft measured. Really sho...

ETA in NZ is 16th of October for the Z! so quick to deliver / pack / ship across the world.....
and then it sits with NZ port services for 2weeks dicking around charging $200 for a vacuum!

I soooo want to be back in LA buying more toys!

It's been a while since an update. I've now got myself a proper mancave so things aren't so cramped. Had to move everything for the Z and all my workshop stuff so it's great to lay it all out for the first time. Now here's a question for you all: What does a hand truck, a RB25 gearbox and 240z have ...

Back home and the shipping company tells me the Z will be following me within the week. All prebooked prior to dropping off so happening nice and quick. 914 sometime afterward. Early Christmas presents!! Now I'm back I better get back to the other Z resto/ modifying. RB Engine waiting for final moun...

No. Won't be converting. Costly to do properly, easy to spot if not. Enjoy it like it is. The history, the story etc are in it as it is.....but if it gets sold then.... Unless you were doing a full strip an resto then maybe but that would ruin this car in my mind, they are only original once!! Somet...

Well when we can't seem to keep the stuff in a simple pipe without it cracking!! then that doesn't help the cause!!!
I believe there are still fuel issues in NZ?
It's a lovely place but sometimes.... !!

The Z is all packed and ready to deliver tomorrow. New wheels, suspension, bits for the other '73 etc. Then it's off to the Peterson automotive museum. Then a late flight home. Have say the z has done very well after its long hiatus. She deserves a good steam clean and service at her new NZ home, sh...

Hi all. Second to last day and I was running out of things to do. Had enough of the malls, beaches, driving..... So what would one to make ones self busy.....buy another car!! Sorry not a Datsun this time, too pricey! I bought a Porsche instead!! Well it's a vw in Porsche clothes. Guess yet?.....yes...

Hi all. Another 100miles or so on the Z today. Went off to a vw show. California is of course where the whole Callook for the vw scenes started. This particular show was restricted to 1961 and older vw and Porsche. An early morning freeway run for the Z took me out to Anaheim. I got some thumbs up o...
