Thanks to those who aided my search for a Z (I didn't go for the import with the possible propshaft problem) I'm now the proud owner of a black, stock '93 UK TT. I'll post some pics once I've taken them - the recent rain has left it covered in a layer of dust :(

 

I've just bought some PIAA silicon wipers (as recommended by speedemon) and a replacement scuttle trim (don't worry I didn't pay the £300 Nissan wanted for the parts!).

 

Next on my hitlist are some new wheels, ICE (nothing works right now) and a re-trim.

 

I was wondering if anyone knew of good places around Reading or surrounding areas for ICE and an interior re-trim. On the whole the trim is in great condition, but the gearstick, leather gater and front seats are showing their age. I was thinking Alcantara leather for the centre and hide for the sides...

 

Any top tips much appreciated!

this thread might give you some ideas

Hi

 

I'm in Reading - well Woodley actually - so we'll have to arrange to meet up

 

When I was restoring my Datsun 280 ZX I needed a new headliner making and found a really good and local - one man business - re-trimmer - who made me a brand new fabric headliner on my original foam covered inlay - exact colour match to the seats etc - and all for only £85 - looks like it did the day Datsun first made it - superb job

 

I fiited it myself to save a little - but all told he did a superb job and I'd be more than happy to recomend his services to any one looking for re-trim work

 

The day I visited him he had a soft-top Jag in his garage having a whole new canopy built and pictures of many of his previous projects - so he knows what he's doing for sure

 

His name is Paul and his company is called AutoTrim - 01189 868470 - lives near Asda in Lower Earley

 

Good luck with the Z

Thanks to both of you. I've got some ideas on trim now, I'll have to give Paul a ring.

 

Come on England!
