Hee Hee. My job pays the mortgage mate, thats why I didnt reply to your post 2 nights ago !! ;) Checked today and everythings okeydokey ! As for the gas bottle ? Its mine anyways !! If you need it to this time next year, its yours !! ;) Its no sweat, honest ! Alan.....

Kinda nice to see old names crop up again ! :) Alan........

LOL. Sorry mate. Sealey do a small lightweight folder I think, suitable for minor vehicle body work. A local fabrication shop may be able to help you, but for some its the time involved changing the Die, Blade etc. :rolleyes: If you get really stuck tho, get in touch. If I can help, I will try me best ! ;) Alan.............

Go !! :cool: Work will always be there the next day ! and the next, and the next, etc etc. Would also give you a cracking pic for your Avatar !! :) Bet you, that once you get talking again, the fall out will seem so silly anyway ? Just my 2p`s worth kiddo ! ;) Alan............

Mines as well, sorry mate ! Alan............

Dont know if this is any help buddy. I have in my possession, a full size, almost full bottle of Argoshield 60, a mix of the 2 gasses. You know where I work and the sort of stuff we do, so its up to the job. Bottle is already fitted with a regulator, pipe and a quick fit coupling, so its ready to plug into your own Mig machine. Come on down and take it away, hold onto it for as long as you like, no rush !! :) Are you replacing the full sill, or part of the sill ?? Let me know what size of plate you are looking for, and I will try and look some out for you, both 1.0, 1.2 and 1.5 or whatever you need. We also have the hydraulic folder, so if you maybe need a length of plate with a fold or such, let me know and can probably sort that out as well ! :) Got loads of Galvanised sheet just now, but the thinnest we got is 2.0mm ! Way too thick for what you are doing. Got some really nice 0.8 mirror finish stainless as well, really handy for underbody looks ! :tongue: Let me know if thats any good !! Alan...........

No sweat Dave, Will post up a few pics when it is finished ! Alan............

As a rough guide, You remove the wing, cut off your top hinge, fook about for ages trying to work out where to cut the inner wings ;) And it all sorts of fits into place. You can either put bolts back into the original hinge holes, or weld them up and flush them off. If you are a competent welder, then it actually looks a tidy job. Its not a 2 minute job tho ! :nono: Alan........

I am 6ft 1 and a right stiff old coont, and I can get in and out no bother. Dont wobble in operation, but thats why he went for GT ones, best there is ! :) Twin gas shocks makes the effort of lifting the door easy. They do not attach to the pillar !! So no unsightly mess !! Thet get cut into, and sunk into the inner wings, without disturbing the Valves under the wings !! 4 points of adjustment on each hinge. They really are a superb piece of kit !! At almost £900, they should be !! :shock: Alan..............

Dave, Posted up a few weeks ago on my old Zed, that has a wide arse and other things going on at it ,as we speak. GT was the make he went for, due to PK`s advice. Full link here, but heres a photo to whet your appetite !! Stewart and myself work in the same bodyshop. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=86727&referrerid=3590 Alan............

Heres a photo of the dash in my recently acquired Zed. Not very nice, eh ?? Got a spare dash sitting here from a Jap Import that registers 160, in kph. So, fitting my spare dash, wheres the best place to get a KPH/MPH Convertor ??? Cheers, Alan.......... [/img]

No worries mate, Will let you know for definate, as soon as I know ! Alan............

Paul, Never met you, but seeing as this is my 3rd Zed and I have only ever been to one meet, yeah, hell yeah !! :cool: On call 24hrs every other weekend, so wont know until late Feb, but if I can, then I will be there !! ;) No racing for me tho, only a stock Zed here ! :rolleyes: Some pics of the last meet I was at with my old red Zed. Falkirk wheel. Big Marty was there with his Skyline, Omar and Ossian as well. Alan.........

LOL ! :p Funny you should say that, but my mate said exactly the same thing. You still got the gen on the 99spec rear lights thing you done ?? Bit of a traitor tonight Phil, having a coupla glasses of Jim Beam. ;) Alan.........

Cheers Si, Not much needing doing, just general wear and tear. Wee bit fed up working on vehicles just now, the Vette really sapped my spirit ! Looking forward to getting some miles on this one this year. :) Alan..........

Picked her up from Yorkshire last sunday and she made the 250 mile trip back home, no problems ! :cool: Apart from the wheels, de-cat and stainless steel exhaust system on her, its all as it left the factory. Not been too molested ! :) Nowt special, but its great to be back in a TT again. :dance: Z-club sticker in the front window, so if it rings any bells with anybody, let me know. ;) 1st mod ???? Move the rerar fog lamp !! :p Happy Alan.......... [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img]

Apparently this was a still from an Alabama A&E Hospital. Judging by his hat, do you think he will make it ?? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [/img] Alan................ ;)

About 90%, but was made an offer that was way too good to refuse !! ;) Alan..........

Sorry FS !! Not been on as much lately, but will rectify that soon, as I have just got myself another Zed !! :nana2: Just last weekend in fact. Alan...............

Do you believe in angels ?? Especially the guardian angel type ?? They could exist, and if they do, this driver has a 1st class one. Not content with the angel doing its job 1st hand, it plays an even bigger roll !! Check out the 1st pic of the truck that has crashed through the safety barrier, flew over the culvert, and landed on its wheels !! Then scroll down to the 2nd pic, you will see what I mean !! :shock: Alan. . . . . . . . . [/img] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[/img]
