Gee

I've seen this car driving around in Melbourne. The photos really don't do the paintwork any justice.

So the 432's didn't have over-riders did they Alan? Or was this an option across the range?? Aussie cars all seemed to get over-riders, but I guess they all got 5-speed boxes as well!

Interesting that no-one is really yet to note a completely stock "as original" zed!

Just wondering if people could post links to the best looking Z they've ever seen? ie. a car that no matter how many times you look at it you go "PHHWOOOOAARRRRR!!", a car that inspires and makes you want yours to look better (or even look like it!!) BTW, your OWN car doesn't count! My personal fav. is this one, but I feel a bit guilty putting a link to someone else's Gallery.. sorry Gav!! G-nose zed

..and it shouldn't! It's to stop you doing damage. Imagine if you tried to start a manual with your foot off the clutch!

I heated the bolt to try to break the "seal", prior to this I used a load of penetrating oil, nearly every hour for a full day I just kept walking back out to the car and just spraying more on.. I then made sure I had the correct size easy-out as I was told this was all important. I then turned it out slowly because easy-out's are made out of toughened steel and if that broke... ...anyway, after getting about 1/2 cm clear of the block I gripped the end with a pair of locking pliers and turned the rest of it out - I was paranoid that the easy out would break. The hard part for me is that the b*stard broke below the level of the block and the motor was in the car at the time (as is yours). Take it slowly and it'll eventually come out.
