Happy Christmas my fair lady
Have you thought about "silvering" the inside of the fog lamp housing that is visable through the lense? Joel did it to his lamps and I plan to do the same.

Getting her back on the road. MOT fail.
See what comes away with a screwdriver and remove the rust till you hit sound metal. What is the condition of the n/s sill?

Yes, you can run water down the drain hole at the rear of the targa (pic shows n/s but same for o/s). It should exit via a plastic pipe on a good sill in a exit slot formed in the lower edge of the sill. Here is another thread which deals with the damage to the rear sill section. https://www.groundupbuilds.com/blog/2017/9/25/more-rust-z32-project-chapter-two

Regarding the o/s rear sill. Usually the culprit for serious corrosion appearing on the outer sill is a blocked or detached rear targa drain inside the sill assembly. It also means that the corrosion is a lot worse than you can see. This thread (and the linked thread from redwine300 within - scroll down a bit) shows the likely damage and work involved in fixing it. It can be repaired but it is a lot of work. https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/thanks-everyone.15465/

Replica blank titanium keys back on Ebay
The Ronin key looks really nicely made and finished. I understand that GZA are in the process of making more keys, but are changing the design subtly from OEM to make it easier to indentify them and stop them being passed off as original. The 300ZX text cut through of the Ronin key is nicely executed and achives the same end.

Welcome back to the fold and looking forward to seeing pictures of the car in its new home.- Auto to manual
Have you decided what you are going to do about the vacuum tanks (items 23 and 27)? You could do this:- No Spark
Yes there is, located in the fuse/relay box near the front of the engine bay n/s wing (labeled IGN COIL)- Stillen SMZ sale
Pennsylvania use a lot of salt on their roads in winter!- No Spark
Do you mean a relay for the ignition system?- Auto to manual
You will find getting the various hoses new an expensive exercise. CZP will stock LHD layout. The check valve (47478-05U00) is available. This is the OEM layout for hoses and vacuum tanks (shows both clutch and brake) for a RHD car (the link includes the part #'s). You can probably simplify the stock vacuum system components without significant change to the pedal effort. Perhaps a member who has done an auto to manual conversion can comment if they have done just that, together with the hoses they used. http://nissan4u.com/parts/300zx/er_z32/1993_12/type_1/brake/brake_master_cylinder_brake_servo_and_servo_control/illustration_3/- Auto to manual
