I stand corrected. I had never seen one that looked like this before and figured it was a custom one of a kind deal. Glad others are here to keep me in line.

tri-star, did you just bondo this area up and smooth it or did you do metal work (cut/weld etc)?

That's a custom hood. Never seen one like it before, probably one of a kind.

My first thought was a Jag also then when I saw the grill I wondered if maybe it was not some MG that I had never seen before. Great call Arne!! Please don't poke fun at Speed Racer! He's my hero!! No, seriously....I really do like him. I have some of the collector items (coffee mug, calendar, etc) as well as the complete series on DVD.

This item has been listed no less than 3 times now and the reserve has never been met. Interesting item none the less.

Too bad you're not local to me, I have no cash and have the space...just got rid of two parts cars a couple weeks ago.

Would you mind emailing me those pix and I'll add them to my Scarab file which are published to the web for all to benefit from?

DRAT!!! Now 26th will end up with it...I've been watching that auction since it started as I would like one also...just no money for such things at this time.

Yes, please share!! I am interested in this part by the way.

So if I'm understanding the information here there is no cutting/tapping/splicing of the original wiring correct? This is avoided by use of the white molex connectors right?

Another issue that just came to mind is that this may also be a city ordinence you are in violation of and should that be the case then the fines could be VERY steap. My brother keeps his boat at our parent's place in the drive way...that is until two years ago when some jerk in the neighborhood complained about everyone (included addresses) and everone in the neighborhood with a boat/RV/camper/trailer/project car/etc was served by the city.

Just a point of fact as to what an HOA can do if they so choose...if it is a true HOA and not just a neighborhood association (there is a HUGE difference even though it does not soud like it by the names). An HOA can in fact levy fines aganist the offender and if not resolved and the fines paid they can then place a lien against the home!!! Don't believe me, let it happen then try and sell your home. How do I know...I'm a real estate investor and bought a home in 8/05 which had over $6k in fines built up against it and we could not close on it until those were cleared because they had filed a lien against the property. I do not wish to go in to all the details of how this was and why...just take away from this that it can and DOES happen.

This can be answered in two words: "impact wrench" Now if you do not have access to one then this is a bit more difficult and the above advice should be considered.

He's having to bore either block so the price difference is in buying the 260Z block vs. buying new oversized pistons for the 280ZX block.

Hey ZTejas, where in Tejas are you located?

It has been written in many places that the N36 intake is the best one for flow...now I have never seen any proof of this.

Hey man where you at!? I'd love to meet you!!! I live in Cedar Park also...it's a small world. I know my profile says Austin and that just because nobody knows where Cedar Park is yet they know Austin. Please PM me and we'll see about getting together or something.

I would rather the installation not require tapping and cutting wires the way you describe. Is there a way to do this with molex connectors like you did for the headlight solution?

There is no need to remove the window. I have done a few of these as they tend to get old and brake. You have already removed the two nuts on the handle. The connecting rod can either be popped out of the handle (take a flat head screwdriver and press) or you can also remove the handle with the rod connected as the lower end just lifts out of the location it attaches to. It is much easier to remove the handle without the rod connected! Do not drop the rod or you will be in for more cuts on your arm while retrieving it! Installation is just the reverse...although not quite as easy as removal as you will find out.

Interesting you would say this... I have my parent's computer here right now and am cleaning it up and winfixer was one of MANY items I just removed from it yesterday.

Your first mistake is using AOL anything! Ditch them and get a new ISP, a cheaper one for that matter (and use the savings for Z parts!).

I'd be glad to host the files for everyone as long as you are willing to email them to me.

Welcome to the club and you could not have chosen a better one to join!! You were asked about the VIN because on the early cars we like to know how early it is. There is also a thread called "how close are our VINs" that you should add your info to. There is discussion about the order some times, things that differ between cars, etc...all of which tend to have something to do with the VIN. Plus it's just bragin' rights!

So it's a valve cover, complete head (E88 presumably), compete block, and oil pan. Is this correct?

If anyone needs a roof I have a parts car with a good one that can be cut off.
