Parts Wanted: Looking for a interior light lens for a 1975 Datsun 280Z ?
They are hand made, one at a time. The color does seem off but Steve is very obsessive about making accurate reproductions. I feel confident the color is correct. He would be my first choice if you can figure out shipping.

Let’s talk about gasoline
I'm ok with using old cooking oil for jet fuel or biodiesel. That seems to make sense but after we use it for food!

@Diseazd As an aside, what are the two water tanks at the back of the shop for? Looks like lots of filtration

I've always thought it sort of foolish to take your food source and turn it into fuel, but what do I know...🤪

The good news is, even at that consumption rate you're still ahead of if you had chosen a big mac! 🤣🤣

280Z 5Speed transmission noise (with video)
I wouldn't think reason #1 or #3 as likely culprits. I would suspect internal wear...

Barefootdan's 280z Build
I had to do this recently on a BMW Z4. I put the rear wheels on 4" solid masonry caps. Doesn't allow the suspension to squirm but atleast it is loaded and mostly settled

Reconnect broken off corners, interior plastic panels
Yup in the main panel, not the drains. I would get some fine stainless mesh and melt it into the backside with a heating iron. I plastic weld panels a lot for the vehicles I repair. I'm not a fan of super glue. Really doesn't work that well in this situation. A good epoxy might work but the nice thing about plastic welding is it allows to to work the repair some when it gets soft and dress it smooth when it cools. I would mesh across the hole and repunch the hole when it cools. Google some videos for plastic welding.
