Hi all,

A few months ago I purchased a '76 260z 2+2. Strongly prefer a 2 seated but with 4 kids I needed the extra seats.

It's my 2nd 260z, my first I bought about 20 years ago and restored, whilst owning that I bought another one for parts which I used to finish mine off. I sold them both after a few years, had plenty of 510's, then went overseas.

The one I have now has been off the road for at least 15 years. The body has been tidied up, it;ll never be a show car but it's fairly tidy, mechanically it's pretty good, just has a whole lot of sorting due to being off the road for so long.

The previous owner (a panel beater) put an L28E in it.

Lots of things were wrong with it but i'm making my way through them.

I'm after lowered springs and shocks suitable for street, happy to buy new if anyone can point me in the right direction i'd really appreciate it. Also if there are any sympathetic LVV certifiers out there to get the L28E certified (it was a 2L fairlady), as well as a good place to get it VIN'd.

Cheers,

Symon

Thanks mate - yes i'm itching to get it on the road, I had the fuel tank out on the weekend as it leaked when I filled it up, two of the breather hoses were disintegrated. Finding lots of things like that, but getting through them all.

A member PM'd me and looks like i've got the shocks sorted. Should be taking it for a VIN in the next couple of weeks.

You must have had your z for 20 years now?

Welcome back to Zedding Symon. Come along to a meet when you have a chance, whether the Zed is going or not, always good to pick everyone's brains for information.

Sounds good thanks. Wow Glen, it's still looking very tidy. What size tyres do you have on it?
