Yes, that looks nice!!

Thanks, do you have a web URL for their site?

Sure Steve, sounds great! I'd be glad to talk with him.

Welcome to the club!

Great, thanks @7tooZ

Yeah, I messaged him a few days ago..

Hmm, they didn't have an option to choose "Classic Zcar Club" for club affiliation... ?

Looks interesting...

Likely they tore off the bottom half when the car was delivered?

Looks like a receipt for the purchase of a 1977 280z with air conditioning and stereo added. Can't quite read the 3rd item, but, it looks like Coco mats were thrown in at no charge. Something else on the receipt about racing mirrors to be paid when installed or delivered?

Welcome to the club and congrats on the Z!

I already have a good lid, I just need the lower tray part because mine is busted on the corner. It must have happened during the restoration.. If you have one I would appreciate it.

Ugh, that seems to be the going price. There are a few on Ebay for that same price range. I hate buying from Craigslist due to scams but that is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for the link.

Looks pretty good so far. Has some small bits of rust but for the price it’s not bad. The problem areas you can check will be under the floor mats and in the rear hatch area. Pull up the carpet / jute material and have a look.

Struggling a bit with "performance" options.. I did find some good options for "power" This one means "power/multiplication/record/counter for vehicles" This one is a bit more simple, meaning "power/strong/strain/bear up/exert" And this one is power/exponent

Thanks, I was hoping some of you could help out. I appreciate the feedback because I know definitions can get lost in translation. Essentially, my goal is to repeat the meaning from our slogan "Pride, Performance, Preservation" in the center, and the small symbols show that we are a "Classic Z Car Club" (although I could not find anything for Z). There were about three different symbols that I found when looking for the word pride. I wanted to stay away from the definition meaning arrogance, but, rather I steered toward the pride/respect direction. Here are three symbols for pride (according to the website I've been using to look these up - I'll link the site below). The 1st one means pride/respect, 2nd is pride/squatting with legs outstretched, and 3rd is pride/haughtiness. Ah, I didn't think about human performance versus mechanical object performance.. I'll see if I can find graphics for the ones you recommend. Here are three symbols for protect: I also found other suggestions, here's "guard/protect/defend/obey" and "safeguard/protect" Ah, got it... I can change the order no problem. Here's that link to the website I've been using for the symbols: http://redfinchjapanese.com/?action=kanji_dictionary

And how it looks on a Goshuin page.. ? (wife had me remove the black border around the Z in the middle of the logo.. (gotta love it when you get a 2nd opinion from the lady..)

And another idea...

Doing a little more messing around... the big kanji says pride, performance, protect. The small ones to the right say old (classic), car, group (club). Kanji is a bit tricky to find the same kind of words with similar meaning..

When I was in Japan a few weeks ago, I visited many temples and shrines with the family. Not only are these places beautiful and historic, they have a wonderful art called Goshuin. The Goshuin is available to anyone with the proper book and willingness to spend the time to wait for a monk or temple representative to create. Each temple/shrine has their own Goshuin design and the intent is to prove that you've paid a visit. The artwork is a combination of a red stamp and handwritten calligraphy. You can read more about Goshuin here: https://livejapan.com/en/in-tokyo/in-pref-tokyo/in-tokyo_train_station/article-a0002402/ Anyway, the reason for my post isn't to inform you about Goshuin, but, I wanted to share some Z car logo's inspired by Goshuin. I had some fun today making a digital version of our logo with the Kanji symbols Pride, Performance, Protect (they didn't seem to have preservation). I'll be looking more into calligraphy in the future because it was very inspiring. Here's my first crack at a digital version using filters and Kanji symbols I found on the Internet.

No problem, thanks for starting a new thread. I'll clean this one up a bit..

I wasn't going to suggest he was lying.. The reason for my comment was to express how frustrating it would be to find these cracks. Especially after a big restoration..
