    hi everybody even though i put suzuki gti seats in my zed and changed the whole colour of my interior But another way of doing it would be if your runners and seat frame is good you could go to your upholsterer and could make the seats (foam padding section) to suit your body frame you could choice the colour and the fabric you wanted could match your seat to the rest of the interior instead of having to change the whole interior colour just an idea robert

    hi when you a doing the restoration if you are not going for a full original look or concourse do what they do to the new cars and fit a heat sheild through the tunnel area so it does not get as hot it should cool it down and the heat would be dispursed away before it gets to your tunnel robert:classic:
  12. hi you could always take to a panel shop that has an chassis alignment machine if you really want to find out the axact measurements do not know how much they would charge but it would put your mind at ease robert
  13. hi why dont you get an old panel and paint it first to give the look you are after why not put some white pearl in there or another colour blue pearl or another colour that takes your fansy and you could try different base colour i think with a darker base you will get more depth somebody jump in if i am wrong robert

    question being 1971 datsun 240z with the 280zx efi motor and after market computer is it possible to fit the transmitter(fuel float sender in tank) in the wrong way as my fuel gauge reads empty when full and full when empty at least it is accurate but reads back to front i could just pull it out and check but i thought i would ask the question first thank you for any response robert
