Off to ontario!

[northernz]

Plans are still undecided. Not sure I want to subject all the nice work to an early spring cross Canada drive! I would like to take her to the Knox Mountain Hillclimb in Kelowna for the Datsun meet.  

[wheee!]

Wow! Nice build thread! Looking forward to seeing your car at a local Z car meet this year!

[northernz]

Thanks! I've not updated for a while, mid winter blues I guess! The rebuild is progressing and it looks like I will be able to get back home to Kelowna for the May long weekend! Here are some more pics. Whee, whereabouts in Alberta are you?

[wheee!]

I'm in Fort Saskatchewan. I am an EO Tech in the Military and work on the Base in Edmonton.

 

I used to live in Naramata though.... man I miss that place! BC born and bred...

[northernz]

Ain't that the truth!Best wine in the country comes from the Naramata Bench!  I plan to run some autocross in the Zed when I get her back. I think they have events on the parade ground at Griesbach.I started solo events at Orchard Park mall in Kelowna about 1976,before moving up to the hillclimb, man that is a challenging hill! I will follow your restoration thread with interest, it's great you have a place to work on the car yourself!

Thanks for your service to our country.

[wheee!]

I still bulk order my wine from the Okanagan, ...  I left Peachland in 1976 with my family and moved to Alberta. I moved my own family back to Naramata/Penticton in 1996 and stayed until I joined the military in 2003 and moved back to Edmonton. I served for a while with the British Columbia Dragoons in Kelowna too!

 

I am a vice president of the Edmonton Z Car Club and I am also the Co-Chair of the last four RCEME Car Shows on the Base. Unfortunately, this year is a no-go as the Base leadership has decided not to support another weekend event like last year. I had over 300 cars show up and ran an autocross on the runway and a mobile dyno as well. We raised over $11,000 for the Stollery that day!

 

As for an autocross at Greisbach, I am unaware of that happening....

[northernz]

I may be misinformed, I haven't really looked into it too seriously yet. I'll look up the Edmonton Z car club, should really become a member I suppose! I still think of the Okanagan as home, even though I've been gone since 1991. The RCEME car show sounds like it was a great event, just my luck that it stops just when I have a car to take! Hopefully it will come back.

Look forward to meeting you some where this year! I think Mills Nissan has a show each year...

[wheee!]

Z Car Club meeting is tomorrow night actually!
