Probably were recovered by a local upholstery shop. Many of us back in the day would have them redone locally and almost all of those were done without the breathers (vents).

and what does that tell you??????? Without french bread? better off? interesting thought! Most of the developed world owes the US money but that doesn't seem to be buying us much support. What does that tell us?

Hitler WAS an agressor, and the world sat on its collective hands until after Poland was taken and did nothing, and the US waited even longer to jump in. Hardly a similar circumstance to the issue at hand. When proof of violations is found and presented, we have the right and obligation to act, until then we do not. TIMING!

make that "semi" behind us. most of them are not fully supportive IMHO. Dates (lines drawn in the sand), scare me. That's just what we should be avoiding.........until proof of violations is found and presented to the world . Then, no date is needed, you just attack Saddam on your terms with a stike force that will make his eyes bleed!

Nope, I don't trust ANYTHING. Just saying that without support, we are alone and will be making enemies and isolating ourselves. If you think we've been victims of terrorism now, wait until the bombs start falling. Then, the __it will really start to fly. Like most things in life, TIMING is everything. I'm no lover of Saddam, but we should wait until there is a legitimate reason (PROOF that he's violated the UN terms he's require to operate under) before anything is done. Then, we should do what Daddy Bush should have done in Desert Storm and take him and his family out of power, permanently.

Hey man, just because your 16 doesn't mean that you can't be right. Just keep your eyes & ears open and listen what everyone says, but don't believe everything that is said. Make up your own mind, don't let others do it for you. Sounds like you're doing that now. Keep it up, it'll serve you well in life!

I didn't see a Haynes Manual in your picture. They are handy to have also. Not necessary, but very handy & helpful. Be Careful with the Spring Compressor Take your Time, Examine each item before you disassemble Use the Correct Tools in the correct manner TORQUE everythig properly If anything is questionable, fix it NOW. Use the Torch outside & Have a bucket of water handy Stop and ask questions when needed DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! Good luck!

Hi David: I assume you mean Geo Bush SR. No, Then it was about his agression towards Kuwait. But if you DID mean Clinton, it was about taking the heat off of himself and Lewinski mess. (a different kind of stain indeed!) Currently Saddam isn't menacing anyone (except his own people). We do not have proof that he's doing anything wrong (yet). Right now the world at large is not with us on this thing. If we do not have the full support of the UN; we will be (actually already are by some) seen as the aggressors. Did anyone see Nelson Mandela on TV tonight? He's just one person (an influential one) but his stance is shared by many others throughout the world. We SHOULD have taken him (Saddam) out then when we had a legitimate reason to do so. (Shoulda killed the F*CKER) GW is just TOO quick to rush into this. We are not the police of the world! They do not want us to be. That's about $.06 of mine now. Stepping off the soap box Carl

46A Gun Control is Hitting What You Aim At!

I THOUGHT so, but; heck I've been wrong before.

Don't assume anything, INSPECT IT AGAIN, CAREFULLY!

If you decide to keep the car, I'd be filing a claim for damage in shipment with the carrier. That rear frame damage looks nasty, though it probably doesn't affect safety or strength of the unibody. It should not have happened and they should PAY for their mistake.

If anyone needs clarification of George's position on the Iraq situation........................... My $.02 Carl it's all about _ _ _ !!!

Absolutely agreed. I wonder how much you'd have to pay the guy that did kats dash, and whether you'd be sending it back in a year or two to have another (different) crack repaired, since it's a 30+ year old item. I'd juxt go for a properly fitted dash cap unless I needed a concourse quality dash, then, I just bite the bullet and pay JustDashes what they want for a completely recovered unit before I'd spend $800 for an NOS (mfg'd long ago, and stored god knows where, or how) Nissan Dash. To Each His Own.

That's right, I forgot about kats dash modification. That one DID come out looking very good. Of course, kats lives in Japan, so shipping the dash to Japan for repair and back isn't going to be cheap either.

Someone has used the floorpan rail as jack-point withtheir hydraulic floorjack. Should have used the front cross-member as a jack point, but even with that, if you/he/anyone places their jackstands on these rails they will deform somewhat. I place my jackstands on the rails up forward near where the tension/compression rods are located. It appears to be a much stronger location. If you don't mind, can you post a link to the auction page so we can see pictures of the entire car. What was the sellers eBay name?

Full Dash Cap. I've never seen a dashboad that has been repaired that didn't look like it had been repaired. Most attempts end up looking like crap IMO. Even the best "repairs" look like a SCAB on your (pick one) favorite body part. Of course, you could spend many hundreds of dollars at a place like http://www.justdashes.com/index_home.htm

Daniel: You certainly could be right on that. I've never owned any Z, but 240Z's (I've had 71,72,73's), but had always heard tha the 280 was the first FI Zcar. Since the late 74 260 was "almost a 280" in that it had the newer body, it could have had FI as well. I hope someone who knows definitively clears it up for us .

Can anyone hear Forrest Gump??? Someone bring something like that into my neighborhood, and I'll be doing "further modifications" to their car. "Homey Don't Play That!"

Ah, Yes. We have all of the rust free cream puffs! Too bad that you can't move here and enjoy them. California is FULL and we're not accepting anymore "Pilgrims" :stupid:

MY Father? :cross-eye :disappoin But then I'd have missed out on having my Z's. And I wouldn't be able to hang out with you guys!:dead:

Smokey: Carbs alone will not do it. They will make a difference, but the cylinder head is IMO the major reason for the loss in HP. The E88 head used for the 73 cars is a lower compression design the an the E88 head used for 72 cars. The photo attached to my previous post from Zhome.com shows the combustion chamber design for the 72 E88 and indicates the difference between it and the E88 used for 73 cars. Until you raise the compression ratio, you will have somewhat less power than the earlier cars

Yeah, maybe then we wouldn't have his PINHEAD son trying to force the US into a battle that the rest of the world doesn't seem prepared to support the US in fighting. We should have taken Saddam out the first time.

IMO, It looks like it's worth that much. I wouldn't mind having it myself. Let us kow what Mr. Vest says about it!

Thanks for posting the files Steve. Yeah, those are nice looking wheels. For my car, I'd do the centers in black or MAYBE body panel colored and polish the rims.
