Looking good ! Makita is quality tools

Indeed, very nice work !

If you can get the piece of bumper ( if chrome intact ) for me, then I can pay to you for the bumper and shipping costs ? Bart

Installed the brake pads with new shoes and the repaired brake cilinder, but now the drums won't come on. ( the cilinder is all adjusted back ) I gave them the maxium drum size which is 2300mm.. mm anyhow, tomorrow I will let a machine shop take some out of the drums, and then it should be fine. So meanwhile I went to work in the engine bay, and one side is done today.

the older bmw m series with straight 6 engines are beast though, although I believed they are less hp in us? my brother got a 325 e36 with 200 hp, that's not an m3, but it was pretty fast ( topped almost 250 km/h gps ) and ****loads of torque. or get a japanse straight 6 engine car like a skykine or supra and make it twin turbo

I think if I had that much money, I would just drop the Z at the best classic car restoration shop, and dump a **** load of cash on the counter and say good luck!

I know what you mean about the cold though, I use alot of diesel during the winter months for heating. Now the goverment banned the cheaper red diesel here, so have to look for alternative next year winter.

Good news: tomorrow I can pick up the new brake shoes for the rear, and repaired brake cilinder for rear left So RDW will be mid next week... Worked a bit on it again, sprayed half of the inside of the rear fenders and made all the plastic in the back locked again in place with the correct speednuts. ( all where missing ). The fun part is, I got the radio antenna back working somehow , it's still the original one, but the motor was all cooked up inside, it looked like I couldn't repair it, but somehow after some greasing and cleaning it went back to life... made a good solid bracket for it so it won't come loose.

You want American, Euro of Japanese?

Favorited thanks! That japanese guy coming in around 6 minutes is a real craftsman getting Z's back to road worthy that rusty. People like him sadly will dissapear in the future.

This makes me wanna check mine ! Sometimes it scares me...the rust

haha , luckely itˊs just sniffing in there, curious dog? sheˊs a little to heavy, but not much though, now almost 14 years, the other jack, male, is 11 years.

@ bryan the scope allready came in handy on the doors

Hi ZuZu, it's a Jack Russel terrier, we got 2 actually Bart

Didn't know this was a 73, I need a middle piece with chrome intact from a 71. If somebody can help me let me know If have a dutch one now, which has holes in the middle, because there normally the licenseplate light is placed.

Welcome ! Nice 260Z, white paint looks good

That's 7th picture of the crushed red Z the rear bumper middle section still seems mint, hard to find here..400 to 500 euro at least, and there it is ! If somebody has a nice middle section for me, pm me !

By the way welcome here ! I'm sure members here can help you.

Please share if you'd like Seems that even the most mint Z you can find has some hidden rust on the inside...

Still waiting for brake cilinder and rubber seals, so in the meanwhile I started on the passenger door when I had some time between work, cleaned up the inside of all loose rust, opened up the drain holes in the bottom and spraying tectyl wax inside, then covering the holes with plastic and using double sided tape to keep the doorpanel on.

I second that, very beautiful !

The pictures are all saying " save me from death "

Don't have a part number, but the picture above shows the sizes..., I got it at an industrial supplier for all kinds of rubber seals.

mmm.. I think if your going for a complete restoration, you wonˊt have any worries for a long time to come, but on part―resto zˊs there always will be something to do?
