I was looking at the rings that retain the headlights. Are these chrome or Stainless steel?

Chris, thanks for the offer but I got it. I the pictures I was trying to upload were 1600 x 1200. So I've reduced the size of the file and it's working now.

I don't get it Carl. I can't. I'm sure it's some technical doo-hickey. Oh, well, I'll keep playing with it to see the max size I can get.

Hi everyone, I was unable to upload pictures I'm guessing because they were too big 1024 x 768. I tried uploading a smaller picture and it worked. Does anyone know what the max size of a picture that can be uploaded is? Also any suggestions on how to reduce or shrink my pictures. I'm using windows XP if that helps any. Thanks

Either replace it with another, make a new one, or try and clear the blockage in the one you have. Also inspect the tube for a kink. Maybe you hit a rock or something that flatened the tube? To clear it, disconnect both ends and try reverse pressure with some compressed air. Or run a wire through the tube.

My vote is wheel balance. Take it to a tire store for a proper balance. Do not take it to Wal-mart! Those Mickey-Mouse mechanics couldn't find the underside of a car if it ran them over.

Post some pictures of the engine bay and the interior and let the Z Police give you the answer.

You can definately put me down for a pair! :classic:

Welcome to the club! Hope you get to enjoy your Z soon. I've heard of using a blower from a Honda Civic. Not sure what year but it's supposed to blow a lot better than the stock fan. Also make sure all the duct work is tight and that there are no kinks or holes. In mine there was a 1/2 gap between the blower and the duct work.

I've been to four different shops in the last year. The shop I'm taking it to does nothing but restorations. Mostly corvettes but they do other older cars as well. People have brought there cars from as far as Florida to have this guy do their car. He has painted several concourse winners. I saw a few of his finished products and was very impressed. He also uses PPG products and guarantees the work.

My baby is going to the bodyshop/painter tomorrow. I was wondering if you guys could offer some advice or things to watch out for. I did make up a small list of things that I want done like filling the molding holes and stuff. I have also reassembled the car (just the body pannels). Thanks

Carl, we must have been thinking the same thing at the same time.

Bill, the rotors are from a 300zx and the calipers are from a Toyota.

C'mon Bill, don't tell me you got suckered too?

You say the car has been sitting for 15 years, and that your on a budget. First you need to get the car running properly. Change all fluids, replace the bad hoses, brakes, battery, etc.. the price tag will soon deplete your budget. Once you get her running then you can start modifying. Brakes, it's nice to go fast but how about stopping? All those rubber bushings underneath are 30 years old. You've gotta be able to take that corner right? How about new shocks? You see how stuff adds up. Engine wise, when you get the L24 running you can start by modifying it. Carbs, cam, exhaust, head and ignition. All of these items can be transfered over to a L28 bored out or not.

280Z, Good one. I think you had a few of them scratching their head.

Thought I would bring this one back to the top. Bid is up to $4750.00! Not bad if you ask me. That's 4250 profit! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2486548444&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

Hey, good job. Thats some good old fashioned engineering. If it pops off again give me a PM. I've got a horn pad sitting around gathering dust.
