Prior to the Covid shut down, Chis was planning on shipping a Z to me, which would have been offered for sale once it was already in the US.  Most of his Z’s he is doing for his collection, however as people get into the hobby their specific interests or priorities change and they adjust their inventory.

Not sure how this didn't happen, single car scenario backs up your "$150k+ for the cars they restore" premise, but whatever.

Some time ago (prior to Covid...) I was invited to become - in some way(?) - connected to the 'S30 World' operation. No idea what a singularly  unpopular character such as myself was expected to add, but there you go.

I declined. Looks like I made the right decision.

Yes, that is what he is talking about . They are there to cushion the door from hitting the jamb.

And the Z currently at auction has one on the driver’s side, but the passenger side one is missing.

Certainly a small oversight on the part of the seller, something which would require little effort and expense, but may keep more serious bidders away.

I saw that too. Easy way to bend valves.

I made a stand for L series cylinder heads. A simple affair, bolts to each end of the head and allows for the head to be positioned for chamber and port work, then assembly and initial valve adjustment.

the quality of the work coming out of a shop is equal to the condition of the shop

When you have a shop that does it for a living, absolutely yes.. if you have a fan.. a bit less i think.. but your in the ballpark 😉 

(  OH oef.. :ph34r: ....  I have to clean up my workplace PRONTO !! 🤣🤣 )

 

(I'm disabled for 20+ years now and that's my excuse.... sorry but cleaning is my last worry.)
