  1. I do. Send me a photo and I will send you one to try. dpappe@gmail.com
  2. @Zed head when I’m is locked the button goes down but doesn’t move the latch.
  3. Are those stock colors for exterior and interior. I love it.
  4. Gary i assume it is unlocked now. So does the key fit into the key hole? Will it turn? on my 71 vertical is locked, horizontal is un locked. If it won’t turn then the issue is with the lock mechanism and you need to re key it. I think? They can match it to your current key. locked unlocked
  5. Here is the Seattle market shop time is a minimum of 120 to 150 hr and that includes research for parts etc.
  6. I have been searching for a 70 - 71 radio faceplate for 3+ years with no luck. Lots of broken ones. I found someone to do a 3D print but the texture is off. PS isn't the Ashtray and the Fuse Box Cover the same thing?
  7. @siteunseen can you share what your diff ratio is, the color of your speedo gear is and what size tires you are running?

  10. I like it, look authentic for an early Z non back lit. But won’t pay that much to own it.
  11. My 2/71 HLS30 23471 IZCC #7130 had: Vertical defrost side vents not hatch vents OHC Valve cover Fuel door latch/knob missing air cleaner and radio when I acquired it seat belts different from earlier cars interior PS rear panel for smaller overflow tank early seats
  12. What @grannyknot said. I have done 5 of these in the last three years and we have tried many things, WD40, Vaseline etc but it has always taken two to get it accomplished. Get it warm soft and slick. A 90 degree day helps. Dont give up
  13. @Mark Maras we have been trying convince him of this since day one. He doesn’t get it. My near 20 yr old Z therapy carb have always been the same. In the cool NW the choke is require to keep it from dying until the engine starts to warm. But good to remind him again.. Having heard the antics of his mechanic since day one makes me wonder if those carb can ever get back to the beginning. Having no idea what he pays for shop time I wonder if he won’t be better just spending the funds for a new rebuilt set. I feel for his frustration but wonder if it self imposed.? Oh yea that’s what you said! Don
  14. @RIP260Z thanks for the info. My aftermarket one is 16MM. seems I will have to keep looking or accept a different look.
  15. Ian I am interested in how you reproduced the ribbed rubber piece. I would like to find one to fit to my after market version footrest.
  16. Sorry Kats I just noticed this comment and I apologize for not being clear. As I mentioned before I purchased an after market version of the foot rest a number of years ago thinking my wife would appreciate it. As you can see from the photos it mounts differently than the original. I was particularly interested in your carpet. Appears the solution is to have a carpet mat made. also I am interested in knowing how you reproduced the ribbed rubber cover.
  17. I see you got specific information on the Morton Wheels. However I have a set of these BRE branded wheels on my 240. I purchased them directly from BRE2.com with BRE caps. I have the 15X7 with 205/60R Michlin tires. BRE calls these Libre and VTO calls them Retro 4. PS you get them in a 14" and VTO
  18. @KatZ I am curious about your floor mat. Is it a Custom Version? I have an aftermarket version that is very similar to the photos here except is chrome not black It is new and still in the original box.
  19. Thought I would weigh in here. Here is my stock looking radio. It was converted to a FMR-2 Aurora. I have made this conversion on this radio and a 62 Corvette Wonder Bar. no one has discover any change yet. AmFm seek still work including the tuning light. However it also has a 40W 4 channel output. Plus an AUX input that plugs into my XR iPhone hidden in the center console. Blue is a option also if want to drive and visit, but not for me. See more info at Joesclassiccarradio.com Just another way to enjoy a classic driver. “Drive a Classic”
  20. In 2016 I spent $13k on an exterior paint. Minor rust repair. Resprayed the original Color. I did the glass and chrome removal, they welded the holes left from the side molding removal, and after market mirror holes. They tested old paint depth and checked any questionable areas. Shop is Euroteckbodyworks.com a noted Porsche shop. I replaced the glass, bumpers, mirror and badges. A full strip and repair here would run $30 - 50K based on the amount of rust repair. A mechanic shop on the east side of the Seattle metro area is $130 -160 hr shop time. I am aware of at least four stock and custom restorations in the area of $125k, $135, $160 and $??? a Gold winner at ZCON.
  21. So most of us in states that don’t require the smog equipment to be intact have removed the them. If you do box them up and save them. Doesn’t your air cleaner bolt to the carbs? looks like you are working on a 72 with the stock motor. I don’t recognize the brand header you have but I am sure someone here has already made this change. What are you planning for the rest of the exhaust system? plus we love photos of cars here and their stories Welcome aboard Don
  22. @Zed Head not really bad photo the alignment Mark is almost on the zero mark but the timing light says 7degree. Hope to spend some time at the dyno this spring. Last year I was running lean and we adjusted the carbs by feel. Time to do it again. Madkaw rebuilt my e31 head with bigger exhaust valves.
