Post by Rosco » Fri Sep 14, 2007 9:55 pm

Hi all.
Thought you might be interested in the photo of my race car following the completion of the colour scheme....just need the decals on next week, then ready to go racing.
Looking forward to it.
Regards Rosco

nicely done looks good - will be even better once the sticker treatment is complete.

Very nice!
If my car ever gets painted, or finished more to the point, I may need to take it south so one day both cars in team colours can be side by side...
Look forward to seeing the decals...

Hi Rosco,

Any chance you could let me know what paint specification/colours you used on your car, as they seem fairly close to the original, and hence my painter could use the same... I.e:
- Paint Brand
- Colour Names
- Colour codes

Thanks & best regards
Grant
PS. Look forward to more photo's...

I would be interested too - although my scheme will be different, the colours will be the same

Looks superb - very impressed.

Would love to see it in action.

Are you pleased with the track performance - I bet it sounds nuts with that fancy exhaust.

I remember those rims - I purchased them for my first 240z racecar - then I sold rims to Kevin Harrison and then the car. 15x8 -4 superlites (in the only design you could get back then (1997) with the 10 spokes).

Looking good.

Zed is looking really sharp Rosco. 8) Did you have the cage done too, or was that pre your ownership?

Did you go to the Chch meet on Sunday?

Hi Bronzee...sorry didn't get to the meet due to Bathurst and having no motor in the race car at present...did a flywheel and clutch 2 weeks ago.....times on the standing 400 was 14.1, but apparently the timing was out so I guess I may get it under 14...
All is good...thanks NZeder for the information on the wheels...still going strong.....the road 240Z goes to the panel shop for the resto on Monday so asa it progresses I will post photos.
Regards to all.
