I wasn't putting it down, I have a 2003 Dodge 1500 Quadcab for hauling stuff http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=10040&sort=1&cat=500&page=3 and people. I found out that I can't park it conveniently-I was just pointing out that a Hummer is bigger, and therefor has more of the same problem-in the city! Throwing some mud and climbing rocks is a different story-but you can't do those on a city street!

The rust on my floors was a little bit worse than yours-3 or 4 quarter sized holes on the floors, I could have cut it out and welded in patches, but I chose to replace the floors and the seat mounts. I think Enrique is right that the POR15 repair will do the job quickly and efficiently, but I want to know my car is as structurally sound as when it was new when my foot gets heavy and my tires get hot! I used Zedd Findings as well-excellent quallity, great price! Tig, Mig and Oxy-acet, my car is getting all three! Will

I have only found those original mats in cars, I have never found new ones. Occassionally used ones turn up on ebay. Will

Ahem! Hummers are always good! (Blush!) The kind you are looking for are not what I would want, in the city they are too freaking hard to park and turn around, Almost exactly the opposite of a Z! WIll

I am in the same quandry, but I have a little more direction. I am getting a set of coilovers, and modifying a set of 240 struts for them, then I will be setting up another set of 240 struts with relocated spring perches. that way I can figure out the appropriate ride height easily, and still have what looks like a stock suspension. I plan on using Tokico Illuminas, and started a thread a couple of weeks ago about it. Here is a link to the thread: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14838&highlight=sectioning+front+struts . Will PS-Don't say "Kidney Killer :stupid: "!

No, I ment voltage-well actually voltage drop. 1/2 a volt drop is usually the beginning of a problem, I would still fix that problem, but if you have that, you probably have more, and the largest voltage drop is the one to fix first. If you have a 2&1/2 ohm problem across a ground, you are probably going to have smoke or something that doesn't work at all help you find the problem! An approximately 5amp difference (approximately 12v/2.5ohms) across a ground is not a good thing! Will

Measuring the voltage drop across them is a quick way with a VOM. Measure from the negative terminal of the battery to the block, then to the chassis, then from the chassis to the block, then from the chassis to what ever connection you want to check. anything more than 0 means there is something happening, anything more than .5v means you should take care of the connection before it causes you grief! Follow the FSM diagram and measure across the ground before and after switches, plugs, and the driven item. WIll

what is the history of the car-sat for 3 years just started up, been running fine and pow, here is the problem, I don't know, she just follwed me home... If we know a little more about her, we can probably do a little better in the suggestion department. One thing to check, get a metal or hard wood rod(even a good sized screwdriver will do) and place one end on the injector bodies one by one and listen to them(put your ear firmly against the opposite end of your probe) you should be able to hear the enjector cycling on and off. You should be able to determine whether they are sticking open, or being driven open. Thoroughly clean your plugs and run her again, and see what you get. Will

rust, PO. Rust, PO. Aww hell both can be worse than Kidney stones! You might try taking a spare (or hacked-up) light bulb harness and socket(Sidemarkers work very well as they sit) to use as a test light. Sometimes a VOM will show 11-14v when there is no load on a circuit, but when a load is present the voltage drops drasticly! To duplicate the same function as a test light you must also measure (and evaluate) the resistance in a circuit as well as the voltage. Will

I knew there was a parallel thread, I just couldn't find it. Just goes to show that the funny thing about that little white spec on the top of chicken poo, is it's chicken poo too-even with the reference to Square Deal! Will

It sounds good but it sounds more bad. More investigation-calls to his Commanding Officer-or branch of the military ,Square Trade, Lufthansa Air Cargo, Customs(-BIG RED FLAG-"The only way he could arrange for there to be no duties due is to pay them, or keep the car in his name and sell it to you once sucessfully imported-probably not something he can do while in another country). I would say you are getting ready to lose $6500. Offer to fly in and accompany the car personally, if he objects, end it there. Verify everything from several verifiable sources. Will

Carl is right on. When you find an OEM "passenger side mirror" advertized it is always a drivers side that has been reversed-no part# in the fiche! Here are the part # and listed prices for the door handles-new catalogs are due, so the prices may have changed VB lh door handle 59-720 $24.99 VB rh door handle 59-721 $24.99 VB side mirror not listed MSA side mirror 30-8140 $85.31 MSA lh door handle 30-2241 $44.23 MSA rh door handle 30-2242 $44.23 The last side mirror I bought came from "The Datsun Guy" on EBay seems like it was about $50 new. I am going up to the farm in a couple of days to store the 2+2 I bought recently. I have a 70 parts car(bad rusty)with what was a complete interior, if you need other parts, let me know and I will see what it has, and what shape it is in. Will

the ZX(79-83) all use a gear reduction starter, smaller. lighter, lower current draw, and bolts right up to All of the L series engines! Not sure about 78, but all of the s30 series I have ever had(never had a '78) used a standard starter. Will

For the glass, I have used the Eastwood product for years, you mix it to a thin paste, soak the felt polishing pad for several hours in water, and keep it moving and wet. It will take out scratches that will just bearly catch a freshly cut fingernail, and while it is a material made for lense polishing, it is not terribly aggressive when the directions are followed. I have ground my own lenses for a highschool science project, and that did give me a great deal of experience for what not to do in this instance, but the istructions, though brief, are on the money. Will

I use Mothers Plastic Polish, from Pepboys-they have one of the best selections of chemicals here locally, from Lexol products on... The only reason I go there-they advertise a huge selection of parts-but nothing for the Z-other than chemicals. Will

Just before my trip to the land of "Bean you in the head and pulverize your kohenes-um, Kidney Stones", I mean. I read this. I hate to think of the dreams I will have as a result of it and the combination of pinkillers, anitinausea, anti inflamitorys, yet another delay in getting my car on the road, and trying to be at 100% before my son gets here-we are not going to make the due date...maybe not the middle of next week! For those of you who may question, yes, this is the second time in three months my left kidney has chosen to add to the blast media used on my car-there is more to it, but... Enjoy, laugh, cry, complain, but to quote another member here: "NO WHINING"! With out further adeu: A few takes on why the chicken crossed the road.. GEORGE W. BUSH We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here. JOHN KERRY It was the wrong chicken, the wrong road, at the wrong time. The memory of that poor chicken wiped out on that road to Cambodia is seared –– seared in my memory. AL GORE While few people know this, I actually invented the chicken. I also invented the road. Therefore, the chicken crossing the road represented the application of these two different functions of government in a new, reinvented way designed by myself to bring much greater services to the American people (all of this was invented by me). RUSH LIMBAUGH I don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but I'll bet it was getting a government grant to cross the road, and I'll bet someone out there is already forming a support group to help chickens with crossing-the-road syndrome. Can you believe this? How much more of this can real Americans take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their own tax dollars. When I say tax dollars, I'm talking about your own money, money the government took from you to build roads specifically for chickens to cross. MARTHA STEWART No one called to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a long-standing order at the farmer's market to sell my eggs whenever the price dropped to a certain level. I can assure you that no little chicken ever gave me any insider information. JERRY FALWELL The chicken crossed the road because the chicken was gay! Isn't it obvious? Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? Can't you read the "code words." The chicken was crossing to the "other side." That's what they call it -- "the other side." A chicken crossing the road is actually a "cross dresser." Yes, my friends, that Chicken is obviously gay. And, if you eat that chicken, you too could become gay. I suggest that we should boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side." MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. I have a dream of a world in the future where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question. GRANDPA In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us. Then, we shot it and ate it. JOHN LENNON Imagine, just imagine all the chickens – crossing the roads in peace listening to my music. ARISTOTLE It is the nature of chickens to cross the road. KARL MARX It was a historical inevitability based on the economic problems of working chickens living in a capitalistic society that unjustly confines them to the labor side of the road. SADDAM HUSSEIN This was an unprovoked act of rebellion by chickens against the power of the state and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on the chicken as it crossed the road without permission. VOLTAIRE I may not agree with what the chicken did, but I will defend to the death its right to cross the road. CAPTAIN JAMES KIRK The chicken crossed the road to go boldly where no chicken has ever gone before. BILL GATES I have just released Microsoft's latest software release "eChicken 2004," which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. The latest version of Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of "eChicken 2004." ALBERT EINSTEIN Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road actually move beneath the chicken? BILL CLINTON I want to assure you that I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What do you mean by chicken? Could you define chicken, please? And what do you mean by "cross the road"? COLONEL SANDERS Did I actually miss cooking a chicken? Will

I have found shopping the parts and including shipping charges to be the best way to figure out value. On somethings, VB is much higher than MSA, on others, the reverse is true, on other parts, buying them direct from the manufacturer(when you know who it is) is the best value. I have ordered from both MSA and VB and been pleased with the results. Will

I anxiously await your findings! Will

BTW, FWIW, OTW SF On The Way! BTE? WIT, WTF? Will

As Carl says, It is all the same shape, tintings differed, but they will all fit. Will

PM reminder OTW! Will
