I cannot fathom that I have not heard of THAT website before!! WOW Will order one aSAP. Thanks Zup!

yeah, I will try that for the time being...But I know that is only a bandaid.

OH man, sorry, perhaps I explained poorly, not the ashtray itself, the plastic door that covers it.

keep up the great work man! I enjoy reading your posts, and your pics are a real help.

Well I was driving around the other night, and low and behold, my ash tray door, just plain cracked in half. I should have never touched it. I do not and have never smoked, but I leave a spare fuse in there. NO idea why I wanted to 'look' at said fuse. But anyway, does anybody have a spare door that covers the ashtray? My cursory search has revealed that this may be a hard part to find....

Wait it has a 4 speed transmission and it has AC with an electric motor. I can see the transmission I guess, but AC. Well that is at least interesting.

Well I am so pleased with all the work I did last year on the Z I decided to have some fun with her. She has never run so well and feel so good as she does right now. As a celebration I decided to have some fun with my gal. I ordered some static racing roundies and plan to take it form there to make her into a 70's race car for a summer. Go to some shows and see some reactions. Here is where I am so far. Next up I want to get some new wheels and get them powercoated entirely matt grey (14x7 rewinds maybe because I cannot even find watanabe's) Then I will probably get the hood wrapped flat black as well just for kicks. Finally I want to get some vintage racing static decals. Which may prove hard. My goal is to be able to totally undue it in about an hour should I want to. Any ideas or leads to help me along. 2016 I am going to find my alter ego 70's race car driver guy.

Must know idle jet. Pull those jet covers and let us know buddy. I am thrilled at your progress...Great work!

LOL, I never saw this, but yes! AAAHHHH make it go away!

205/55/15 yokohama S drives on 15x7 Panasports 0 offset.

Unfortunately, I have been sidetracked on this project. I was dumb yet again and started a big project when I am in the middle of a small one. Pulling the dash out of my roadster is going to take a while... But I think I can work in time to fit and paint this thing. I am having a desire for some newer colored wheels as well....Oh well, this is why we have these cars! I added some racing bling this weekend in the form of some static cling decals. I am going to call it the summer of the race car. I would really love some 14x7 wheels so I can run some fat sidewall tires and complete the vintage racing look. I think the BRE car ran 14x8 right. But good luck finding those. Still powder coating my panasports flat black or dark grey would be a good look. Or I guess I could pick up some rewinds, as that may be cheaper. Still having fun with her though. I will post pics of my new spoiler for a comparison.

Spoiler came in today from BRE . super fast shipping! Great service the finish will require a bit of rework due to some scratches and gouges in the surface but overall it I pretty darn nice!

I wonder what 'legal' reasons the euro cars could not have integrated turn signals... Anybody know or care to guess?

here here, more updates. I have cash in hand!

ugg, that makes me want some coffee.

Oh you evil person may all your children be born naked

Okay, this is the color combo I am going to try to replicate... With the wing matching the rear tails, I think it looks less 'afterthought-y' OH I have also ordered the euro bumpers. Now if only somebody would make affordable clear head light covers with the stainless trim. Didn't somebody start a thread on that a while ago.

sleep well little ones... Don't let the rust bugs bite

You guys have some beautiful automotive playmates! and Dat Boat..Helloooo nurse.

Guy, curse you as you may be right. Not sure though. I am going to paint the BRE one to look just like the rear tail like finish surrounds first. If I do not like it, I will have to get it repainted the body color. Only problem with that is I will have to take it into get paint matched, $$$$$. I recall my front valance was right at 500 bucks. OUCH!

Great question Pmg, I did not buy mine the PO did, so it appears to fit okay. IF it had any work I cannot tell. I know the corners are all rough and not crisp like I would want. I think I am going to go with the BRE one in hopes the original mold is better. We will see.

That is brilliant. There is a chap here a NASA I work with that restores these things. People who restore tools used to create other things are very dear to my heart. What a wonderful undertaking. I did just add this to my garage. Sold my WRX and moved up to an 'adult' car

Dave, send me your address again.. I may have a NOS brand new hazard light for ya. Totally off topic, but if I can find it, its yours.

correct, What I wonder is if they will fit on the 240Z seat brackets? I have no idea.

I am trying to order a spoiler now from BRE. I will order some paint as well to match the rear tail light surround. This way I will have both, a body color and a darker grey. This is my last splurge until I start my saving for some kameari seats. It is either these or a leather redo of my OEM seats, which look lovely now, but I think really need some new foam!
