By the way, that's not my car in the photos - thanks Silver72 (I think thats your handle..)

HEHEHEHE Nah I got nothin

60 bucks for a couple of windshield wipers thanks but no thanks ZedRally mine is a 240. Although, after driving with the sun reflecting off them into my eyes I'm starting to see the reasoning in painting them Anyone got a digital camera and can take a quick close up picture of their 240z wipers?

Well, original would be nice. I'm going to wait until I see another Z with original wipers and see how mine compare.

the previous owner did that on the rear bumper - I stay well clear of steel wool! Really if anything they look TOO bright. I think they're just fine

Hi I've got several spots of rust on my car (all exterior), a few nasty scratches and small dents, and several panels out of whack (probably the last owner's sandblasting job?) and I'd like to get rid of it all. Before I go to some panelbeating place, how much is this likely to cost? I've attached a picture detailing everything. With rust, why exactly do people insist on replacing with metal instead of bondo? I imagine bondo is much cheaper but if there is a logical reason for the metal then I will fork out extra for that. The panels are not bent as such, but rather they're warped. Can you fix that without having to repaint the whole panel? Most of the scratches are just that, and can be sanded down and repainted I think. The only place which might need some panel beating is at the rear, just under the numberplate. Also right up the front just above the tie-down hook it's all bent upwards - obviously someone thought it was a tow-hook It's a hard job being a perfectionist :stupid:

I want to buy a can just to test it out and see how it looks... but it IS $15 a can :sick: I've cleaned them up with some "metal cleaner" and they came out wonderful. I don't think they need anything!

1971 Australian build, please! Could you wait until November the 1st until you send it though, as I'm over my download limit at the moment

I see... can you email me some? ( alfadog@bigpond.net.au )

Got any more pics? matching numbers?

Damn that's clean you the young guy or the old guy ?

I see car but no you !

Aussie slang urgghhh CRIKEY !

Aussies and always being right?! Look in the mirror you damn yank! jeezaloo just stating the facts, gotta go sheryl is yelling for me to feed the kangaroos out back !

OK I might try that if they dont look too flash in bare metal. I've also seen some 'chrome' spray paint... might give that a go

Is that paint?

"thanks ken for the pic" The pic I took from the galleries as I dont have a pic of my own handy It's ken's car.

OK so I used some ordinary paint stripper and a toothbrush and most of it came off nicely. They look like steel but I wouldn't bet on it. I guess I should just use some metal cleaner and see how they come out?

In other words, the original way to say it! I don't know how it came about that Americans decided to say Zee, but I believe it was probably the same guy who decided it would be a good idea to drive on the wrong side of the road and call aluminium aluminum... to be different from the British Anyone know how the Japanese say it?

I dislike my painted black windshield wipers so I am thinking about stripping the paint back so they're stainless (?) steel again. My problem is, how do I do it! Theyre so intricate that I think the only way to get all the paint off is if I could soak them in some sort of acid which would just strip the paint right off. Does such a liquid exist? Also, the whole thing is black. Originally, was it all unpainted or was the bit which attaches to the blade painted black? Basically, what should it look like? Thanks for your time!

Now I really want to see pics - to see how much of a deal you got with your 240!

OK thanks, I'll see what I can do tomorrow!

Daily Driver ?!!?!??!
