I believe the first one is 8½ I thinks its out of a 76 280z

Then, I believe the lower one is off an 83 zx turbo

I have these two. the larger one is a 280zx i believe

I could only find the one. I can pull it off to see the condition if you want me to

CO's nubbie restoration service!!!

Wow!! Yeah it did !!!

^^^ That is a super tool!!!

Yards like that are best visited when it cold outside! No ants and slow moving snakes or none at all

I'll see what I've got

Jim. I have located one. I don't know how good it is. I'm gonna look around a little more for a set C

Rob, I might have one. Can you advise on the best way to ID it? Charles

Were these two rails on different seats or the same seat?

I despise conducting business over Facebook!!

I agree European cars can be expensive to maintain. The only way I can afford it is to turn the wrenches myself. But Porsche parts seem to be exceptionally expensive. Late 80's 911 would be fun for a while

The James Harriet books are a great read Does APS have a website? I found the facebook page but it's hard to tell what they all they really make...

I agree with everything the Aviator said ^^^^^

I have always wanted to build a convertible z car. I have the triumph top frame laying around the shop and used to have the cassette VHS conversion tapes somewhere. Obviously a long term goal! 😉

Isnt that what makes a politician!

That's really unfortunate! Look on my build thread. I took this apart over the last couple of years... Some of that metal is pretty stout! It almost looks like poorly repaired crash damage with holes that allowed rust formation. I dont know who offers the best rear valance these days. A good donor would be my first choice. Especially if you can get the whole panel. Its one piece from the bottom, up around the lights to under the hatch slam panel. A 100 or so spot welds 😉

Thanks for the link Chas! All thats assembled and I had a very kind forum member ship me a really nice used 23t gear which we used

I agree, a nicely done car!

I used a satin black on the spokes I lightly sanded the rim and restained it then some spray can urethane

It's probably frozen up. Try to heat it up and some penetrating oil

I got mine in last weekend but haven't worked on it yet. I believe your numbers are correct
