   Opened up my Storage garage and there she sat all dusty from sitting all winter/spring. Got her out this last saturday. got the oil & filter changed out, air pressure topped off, gave everything a good inspection, gave it a good bath and got it all waxed with Meguiars and hit the highways. Took these photos on sunday and thought I'd show them to you guys

   Does anyone know exactly these front and rear turn lights were installed on bumpers? I know that I have seen front ones on UK cars... I have also seen licence plate lamps on rear bumpers.

   Im just too tall

   It is a crying shame, but I am just too tall. I went and looked at a very nice 1968 roadster in Eden, NC the other day. Took it for a test drive, but the car is just too small for me. My head was above the roll bar and the top would probably be too low for me, and my knees are all folded up. I really like the old roadsters but I really don’t fit comfortably. If any one is interested the car is nice with 2.0L, Mikuni’s, large oil pan, stage II cam, 5 point harnesses, crane ign, good paint, well taken care of. He has owned it since like 77'. I put a link to the ebay ad I found it by. If you have trouble getting in touch with the owner PM me and I will get you in touch. …

   Many thanks to our resident plastic surgeon EScanlon. E brought my broken and chipped radio face plate and map light cover back to life. These were the last two pieces I had left to complete the interior on 797, and wow do they really finish the cars interior appearance. All I need to do now is change out the screws or at least paint them so they look as good as the plastic pieces. Thanks again E. (Here are a few pictures) PS....The radio fitment was temporary for the photo, I'm still working on it.

   License Plate screws? 1 2

   OK, another dumb question. My 73 240z didn't have plates on it when I bought it. The screws to mount the rear plate were missing too. I have tried several different screws but none seem to fit. Does anyone know what specific size screw/thread pattern I should be looking for? The guy at the hardware store is no help.

    Hi . There is a lot of wear in my hood hinges. Has anyone replaced the pivot pins on these. How do you take the hinge apart, because the pins are riveted over at the ends. What would be the best method to attack this.?:stupid: Brian

    I just obtained some parts that originally came from from Nissan Zama Museum. It looks very authentic that it is using original bumper rubber parts and stuff. Please take a look some pictures here. Mr. Carl Beck might have an idea what these are since he has done some a nice job on his beautiful Baja car.
