Dude, that really sucks. Thanks for the heads up though. Will not be buying from him for sure!

Hey y'all, Some know that I have been looking for my first car off and on for the last 9 years. It was a 1972 112 yellow nicknamed "Slimer". It had an L28 with the original E88, American Racing Libres, front bumper option with the bar across the top, aftermarket vinyl seatcovers that reminded me of chocolate colored marble, missing shift knob (the Hurst one was stolen right before it was impounded), and a busted radio. The last I know, it was being held at Associated Auto Tow in Fremont, CA, and the lien sale (which I am not sure if it was ever completed or not) was handled by Ritter Sales South, based in San Diego, CA. Timeline was April 1996. I did already check zhome.com's VIN Registry, doesn't seem like there are a lot of entries on it. Slimer was HLS30-63920. Carfax and all of the other VIN searches I have come across thus far require 17 digits. (1981 and newer) I hear that police officers are not allowed to search for the information unless they enter a reason into the system, since some of them have used it for not so noble purposes. I am hoping that there are some states where they don't have to do that... Anyone have any ideas?

Want to go look at a Z with me this weekend in Corona? I can't stand it anymore! Must.... Have.... Z!!!!

Thanks guys I haven't really had much to post about since I haven't had a Z to work on. But I still log on every now and then to see what you guys are up to. It doesn't seem like there is as much activity on the list as there used to be, so here I am. Dad said he would rather hold off on doing anything to the Z until he is done building the cabin. So looks like I am still not going to be wrenching on a Z anytime soon.

Quick rundown... Mom and Dad are original owners of their '72. In 85, mom got the 300zx, and the 240 was retired to the garage. Between 1990 and 1996 it was hardly driven at all. In 1996 I was pregnant and needed wheels to get to doctors appointments. Without any prep to the Z other than charging the battery, I started driving it. (In hindsight, we should all be slapped for that one.) In 1997, it started to overheat a lot. Between 98 and 2003, Dad and I replaced the radiator, hoses, thermostat, fan clutch, water pump, etc. The last thing on our list is the head gasket. It has not been worked on or started since 2003, when Mom and Dad sold the house and moved everything to the new house about 3 hours away. (It was driven, not towed) I'm trying to talk Dad into finally pulling the head with me when I am up for Xmas break. (I am sure there is a writeup on it somewhere here in the forum, so I am not going to ask you guys to go into it again.) Other than that, what else should we do, since it has been sitting so long? I must stress that it is very important to me that this remain a matching numbers car, since I would like to fully restore her someday. (If my mom didn't already crack the block when racing the engine to show off to some douche in a Z28 at a light in 2002.) I am guessing drain all fluids... gas, oil, brake fluid, and flush all systems. Maybe pull the gas tank and take it in to have it boiled out and resealed? Any lines that should be replaced? Anything we replaced before that we should re-do? Also, if anyone lives close to Mariposa or Merced, CA, and would like to come and help sometime during the week after Xmas, please let me know! We will feed you and ply you with any kind of drink your little heart desires, pay for your gas, and maybe $50.

Carl, Haha thanks but I already have pictures of Skidmark, aka the Loafster. I don't have a single picture of Slimer, and I think my sister lost the one or two pictures she had of it. Chris, yours is 112 yellow with American Racing Libres and the bar style front bumper? If so, heck YES I want a picture of it!!! Send it to kjrogers1977@yahoo.com. Having problems with my other email account at the mo'. Thanks!

Anyone want to do me a special favor and photoshop me a Slimer (name for my first car, long gone)? I suck at Photoshop. Maybe get permission from the person who put together the site listed below (or if this person him/herself wants ta do it, even better!) to use the 112 yellow car picture. All it needs are American Racing Libre's and the bar style front bumper. I would really really appreciate it and would love the person for life who would do this for me. I'd like to get one such picture printed (I have friends who work with 44 inch HP color plotters, hehe) to hang on my bedroom wall. Anyone up for it? ~Kelly

What about Z club THONGS for the three female members? Hehe Kelly

Not empty, probably just too many people trying to view it right now is all. I have about three to four pages of pictures in the album you couldn't access. Actually, I just lobbed about three inches off last week to get rid of dead ends. And yes, it's still red. =) In fact, I just did my roots last night! (ssssh, don't tell anyone) And I already did post my pic to the mugshots gallery! It's the most recent I have, but right now my hair looks more like the pic I posted to my avatar. You look quite a bit different as well! I know, you're missing your conductor hat. =)

Hey Carl, didn't know I had a PM until you emailed me! I don't get on the site very much. Anyways, I have a whole bunch of pictures at http://photos.yahoo.com/zfreak72 I've only been through about 7 pages of posts so far, and is it just me, or are all the hotties in Aussieland? Rawr. Well, okay, there's Mikey, but Oregon may as well be Aussieland for as little as Mikey seems to leave it! =Þ
