Zedyone-Sounds like a little doubt in your last reply. If all the effort doesn't fix the problem try the above. It fixed mine, and you can do it in less than an hour!

85 300ZX definitely out .......71 Z in! Say it one more time. Then do it!

Bruce- Everything done to the car was first class.......I hope my 71 resto turns out as well. Guy

The dash is still "as new". No problems at all......the car is kept in a temp controlled garage....that may not be a good test lab vs. a car left outside. Bruce did an awesome job and an awesome thread. Guy

I bought all of the OEM stuff......It was a little higher and you had to order individually as mentioned above. The bottom of the door piece and door seal are no longer available but as Brandon mentioned I ordered the 280 door seal (one piece with no welting). For front windshield and rear deck glass seal I would definitely go Nissan. If you bring it up with your local dealer you can probably negotiate 20-30% off. P.S. Glad the Vols finally fired Fulmer!

Someone oughta buy this one.....It really looks unmolested. You West Coast guys are so spoiled. If I put another one in my garage it would look like a bubble gum machine!

These nice cars just keep coming out of nowhere!

Your wife's gonna kill you Carl!

Geezer-Just got my BRE rear spoiler from Motorsports. It is smooth on the front (no ridges) , smooth on the back (no place for emblems), and is fully enclosed underneath. It is lined on the bottom with a foam gasket as Carl mentioned and bolts with two bolts that attach via the drain plugs. The quality is perfect! It's exactly what I was looking for. I'll post pics when my computer savvy son can get to it.

Motorsport and Black Dragon have them. I just ordered mine from Motorsport.

Anyone's 240Z up more than their 401K?

Dustin....Start with the simple things that you can do.......Start at the front and work back. Remove,clean and replace every item you can. Also get some Z books from Motorsport....they have them all. Good Luck!

Z-1........There's several sets on ebay right now........The best price is buy-it-now for $12.65. Look under DATSUN 240Z in ebaymotors...item#25031/17599744. He should be able to mail it in an envelope with 2-3 postage stamps.

Remove it ......Then throw it away!

Don't forget to let us know if it's gone!

Ron....No, but will reply when I receive it in a week. Guy

Ron......Most Z's running around in the 70's had the BRE spoilers. Just ordered my BRE type spoiler from Motorsport. $152.95 plus S&H.

Thanks Geezer......It's nice when my son and I can both be right.....I remember the BRE spoilers from the 70's and was almost certain there was not an emblem section. I'm looking for originality, so I won't be putting the emblems on the spoiler. Guy

I agree Carl......my wife would kill me if I bought another one, but it is truly a bargain and a good investment!

I'm thinking about putting a rear BRE spoiler on my 71 resto. I don't know anything about how they are attached etc. Are they bolted on to the tailgate and if so what keeps water from entering the bolt holes and rusting the metal? Do you think the juice is worth the squeeze? I like the look!

Agreed......A good bodyman is almost impossible to find (one that doesn't cut corners). This type of resto is very expensive.......You can find people that do decent work for 1/4 of what this will cost. You've got to have the disease, and I've had it since my first 240Z......and it's only getting worse!

When I finish my 71 resto, I can guarantee it'll be more than $39,000.00. The seller probably paid over $30,000.00 from the program. I've heard he's very reputable too.

Same here.....It feels like a lot of play, but it probably ain't the problem!

Mark.....would love to have you over......I just bought some PM stock....I'm a broker. Guy

If anyone knows the owner of the Safari Gold Z please PM me. I'm doing a Safari Gold resto and would like to know where he got his color (formula). Thanks Guy
