  1. That looks great, and no major modifications

    That cars been sitting a while!! The good news is it's probably not going to walk off now....
  3. It's good you figured it out I use a weldable rattle can primer for those areas and then come back and use frame coating with the nozzles. Like the pro at the paint store told me, the car lasted 40 years. I am doing way more than the factory did. Should outlast me and my kids!
  4. Did you figure out the difference while you were drinking?
  5. Wheee Did you figure it out?
  6. It is not a terribly simple thing to put a stock turbo on it. You can do it fast or cheap but you will end up trashing your engine...there are a lot of considerations when doing forced induction... I suggest you drive it for a while and make sure it all works well, them decide which way you want to go. If the car is not 100% when you decide to go turbo it will only magnify those problems
  7. Always try to communicate with the seller through Ebay, It helps when making a claim
  8. Thanks Careless. I thought that might be the case but didn't want to assume
  9. Arne is around sometimes but on a very infrequent basis...
  10. 70-73 for sure. Ebay, Craigslist or a junk yard. The prices are going up because they are getting harder to find
  11. I am not sure I would have to pay the fines in South Carolina. Interesting thought though. You can apply for a title for any car older than 30 years if it hasn't been titled in our state previously...
  12. Yes ZH that is the article in the copy of Hemmings I have. I think speculators and car flippers are always looking for the next collectible car. I wouldn't be surprised if that is part of the recent rise in Z prices, especially after Mr. K's passing. Ferrari prices went nuts after Enzo died. As anecdotal evidence the Z's I see on dealer sites bring amazing money and most of those are going to be put back out for sale
  13. I emailed him with a question, haven't heard back...

    All Hobby work right now. Might move into restoration full time if I semi retire. I have a thread on here somewhere on "Lily" the car I have on the rotisserie, but progress is very slow...
  15. There was an article in the May 2015 Hemmings Motor News about 280Z's right in line with the suggestion that these cars are beginning to be viewed as investments not just classic cars...
  16. He is in civil air patrol and really likes it. He is over 6' at 16 and I am 6'-5". I don't know that his heart will be broken if he doesn't fly a fighter. He just enjoys flying...
  17. Many new cars have them in the down pipes before the cats. Some vehicles have three. One on each bank and one behind the cats. It shouldn't matter on the cylinder count. The sensor doesn't know the difference. If you can find one in the down pipes you may be able to remove it from under the hood instead of trying to get under the car in the JY
  18. No, not offended ZH. I guess part of my point is we really know nothing about this person, partly because he is new. He may be broke, he may not be. Also I wouldn't consider leaving 50% on the table squeezing a deal. $500, $1000 maybe... I would have real reservations about feeling like I took advantage of someone. That's partly what struck me all wrong about the video link we had a while back about the TV guy buying the yellow automatic that he wanted to flip. He beat the guy down on price when he knew the original price was more than fair.
  19. That is a beautiful plane Very cool. Congratulations. My son wants to fly in the Air Force. We'll see, he may outgrow the size requirements
  20. Core charges are a problem for some and not for others. The core charge could be $2000 and I wouldn't care, if I needed the part. It will go on my credit card and I will very promptly return my core with insurance in this case. The $2000 will never leave my pocket and if I'm quick enough no interest either...
  21. Of course,,, I just couldn't find it so I assumed it was a limited view item
  22. @Marine240zIs that a Harrier?
