I know what that is like buddy. I was so Z oriented for so long. Then I bought the Roadster and that consumed me as well.  After my kids sports started the cars had to take a back seat for a while.  We had some illnesses in the family and picked up a new puppy and things just kept snowballing.   I am happy to start the Z rolling around again and get that beautiful hood some sunshine.  Want to do some projects that have been lingering in my mind.  Should probably put in a new clutch eventually, but the current one is still doing the job.  Want to up my carbs to 45 DCOE's instead of 40's, but that is a big investment to JUST try it out. 

 

Life does get in the way of the Z's but eventually when the dust settles they just wait for us. That next amazing drive is just around the corner.

I'm with ya!  I bought mine (HLS30-08215) in 2003 (I think) figuring it was a 5 year project, then the following year we had our first kid.  Well I spent years collecting parts and more Z cars and never putting any work into any of them until last year (thank you COVID, and my son for encouraging me and showing an interest himself).  Kids and life got in the way for a while.

 

I'm not sure I see anything in your pix that I need or must have at the moment (or that I think I may need in the future).  There's certainly stuff I could pick up and if it were cheap enough I might, though want to keep focused on getting at least one of these Zs back on the road soon.  😉
