That front spoiler is the factory urethane item as stated hard to fine these days. There is a place in Australia that makes fibre glass replicas I will find a link and edit this post later for you.

EDIT: here is the link see the last spoiler http://www.len-brennan.com.au/Spoiler.html

It was a nice day today so I fixed up my hubcaps. It's a big improvement.

Hi, not yet. I'm just doing low cost things I can do myself like rebuilding/painting the horns etc. Just waiting
for some cash to come in somehow.

Have you heard the one about the guy whose ship came in but he was waiting at the airport :D

My son, Alex, came down from Nelson for Easter Weekend and we went up to the Summit Road for a video shoot.
Summit Road is the Mulholland Drive of the South Pacific.
I'm not so quick but the primary issues were 1) Cyclists. 2) The need to keep left at all times. 3) Dickheads failing
to keep left most of the time. And, 4) Significant drop-offs if you over-cook it and fail to make the corner thus rendering all
the restoration work into a ball of scrap metal.

I drive that part of the road up to the Sign of the Kiwi and down to Governers Bay Monday to Friday - its a great road for Zedding provided there are no cyclists, sunday drivers, or dickheads coming around blind corners just over the centre line.

Great video!

On second thoughts don't post up crap and state what you mean. Get a dictionary for a starter.

The only word he's spelt wrong is Bellamy which is a name and won't be in the dictionary. They are a spring maker in Christchurch, he's either replied to the wrong thread or has replied to a post in this thread and not realised it wasn't the last post.

Anyway, a nice warm welcome there guys. Graeme has a 260Z race car as far as I know and is in Christchurch.
Nissan 280ZX 2 seater RB26 powered.
