Last piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is my blue Z :clap: Brand new genuine Kaminari door fillers to match up with my skirts, produced on the 2/10/18 :clap:

No worries pal, I’d already PM’d you :thumbup1:

He’s just finished an escort convertible, was on Facebook earlier today, I’ll give him a shout and report back :thumbup1:

I’ve 2 Z’s Chris :innocent:

I’ve done a deal with a good friend of mine, he wanted my Veilsides for a 300zx related job (which was never going to happen) So I sourced and bought these ones for him in lieu of payment. I also sold my GTC’s at the weekend, so at present there’s only my 19” Equips for the blue Z and 18” Veilsides for the red Z. Starting to feel the love again for these cars:yes:

Picked up another rare set of Veilside wheels in a 9.5 and 10.5 x18 (et28)

Nice black Z

Be careful upping the power on an auto, they don’t like it too much :thumbup1:

I’ve been quiet on here of late, but as I have my calipers back from coating, I got stuck into rebuilding them and finishing off this rear subframe, plan now is to gather up all the bits for this and try put it back together for transport to Wales for bodywork and paint:thumbup1: Here’s the finished article

Who did your porting Nick, I would be looking for some money back

Fair play to you Russ for your “Can do” attitude, I shudder to think what would happen to the Z if I was faced with all that :thumbup:

Welcome to the Club, that was Joseph Topps Z, lovely car :yes:

Nice work there Howard, it’s great to see this moving forward :clap:

Hey Si, do I need to resend everything to you also?? Just checking matey, I’ve not been around here or in contact with many people in a while, at present I’m slowly losing all love for these cars and am contemplating getting myself into a nice Mercedes coupe instead. Probably easier to get me on Messenger mate.

As the lads have already stated, you have poured your heart, soul and a lot of money into what is a fantastic example of a Z car, I’d definitely keep it, after all, these are always project cars, you can tweak, adjust, uprate a lot more things over time. You’ve done the hard / expensive part already, enjoy it as it is, and even more so when you do swap out the bits and pieces you’d like to upgrade:thumbup1: You will regret selling it Tom, I’ve been looking for a suitable replacement and there’s nothing to really compare to a Z. Bar you go for a high end (expensive) Porsche, Lotus, etc, and to be honest none of them float my boat:thumbdown:

Your car paint really does catch the light well, I agree, if you’re keeping the back lights orange, the sides should match :thumbup1:

Result!! Nice write up Andy, I’m also liking the red accents :yes:

Fair play to you for taking on the task of finishing and fitting the engine Lee:punk: Won’t be long now :thumbup1:

Sorry to hear this Stephen, but you do make a valid point. There seems to be only a few people who post on here regularly, there seems to be little enthusiasm for owners regarding build updates, new parts, new ideas etc. It might seem small or trivial to some, but it could be a major triumph to the OP. These cars are money pits, a chap could have worked double shifts for a month to buy a piece of his Z jigsaw and gets little recognition for his efforts. I myself have cut down on my time on here (site has been blocked on work computer), but also as there’s nothing really happening, I can spend 10 minutes on here and be caught up with everything, there were comments a while back about people posting just to get their post count / likes up and to be honest, it’s put me off updating build threads and advertising parts. It was always the way to advertise here first (to give members 1st dibs) and then other sites if there was no interest. Unless it’s free or dirt cheap nobody’s interested in here.

Welcome back Pete, did you move to Australia :lol: I also have issues sometimes with sideways or upside down pics :yes:

Got stuck into this messy task today, got some heavy duty stuff from advanced coatings, will give it a second coating on Friday (weather permitting) What’s the 310B on the diff?? Just a part no.? Or something else? Soon be able to remove the stripped out subframe and replace it with this

Cool!! Where in the country is that one heading Jay??

We actually have a few Z’s starting to come out of the woodwork over here in Ireland, no Skodas to be seen in these pics:whistling::whistling: :innocent:

Welcome to the Club, as stated, Jimmer @ Powerzed is the first and foremost expert in Europe, let alone the UK :yes: Let’s see some pics of your Z :thumbup1:

Managed to put in some time on this today, cut off the top of the brake shield, Zinc coated them, had to adjust the parking brake to fit the rear 350mm discs and did a quick test fit of my brackets and calipers. Also took out the cracked and broken drivers light and threw in a quick replacement just till it goes for paint (have ‘99 spec rears to fit when painted). I’ve decided I’ll paint this subframe while it’s accessible, Anyone know the best place to get some POR15, I don’t want to split it like I did the other car. Figure this is meant to be good stuff:innocent:
