Jag rearend
True on the crossmember. I am talking with A shop here that is helping me with this. They said they may be able to fab A subframe that could use most of the stock mounting places. Then if I wanted to change back it wouldnt be A ton of work. I will find out more later in the week. So far the cheapest I have found is $800.00 & still looking.

reverse light button?
Yes it is A switch. But it is A switch that is screwed into your transmission. You can find it on the pass. side (I think) it will have two wires run to it. I have never done this but have been told that you can run jumper wires from there and hook up your rev. lamps on A toggle type switch. Just dont leave them on :stupid:

How do you tell the Z's apart?
I think the easy way is getting to know the bumpers. The early Z had thin nice looking bumpers but as the years go on they get into the big crash bumpers. I dont know what was on each year. sorry.

steering links.
Cool, no big rush. I think they are the short. Just wanted to know what was on the car. I have about 2 1/2 turns lock-lock now.

I dont see it as cheap. But I think you also need to keep in mind what the cost of A corvette irs + the headache of mounting the disc brake. This just looks like one nice/neat set-up. On the cost so far online I have found them starting @ $1200.00 I can do better I am sure.

Jag rearend
Has anyone looked into A jag rear end ? I had A buddy over talking about doing A disc set up on the rear of my Z. He asked if I had looked into the jag irs rearend. After looking this over I think this may be the ticket. With the v-8 going in this will hold the HP. and look @ where the brakes are at.

Have you seen the W8 engine?
I was wondering about that. I have seen the W8 badge but didnt know if it was just the name or the motor. I will go and look now. Sounds cool.

Thats the kit I saw in the boneyard in vegas. You are 100% on with the square headlights. They look nasty. The kit looked like it COULD have been nice. But this one looked like they glued in on and took the car in for A $99.95 paint job.:disappoin DAMN Z KILLERS!!!!!!!!!!:dead:

Stripping and repainting
First on the rear 1\4 glass. There are four screws two on top two lower. If you have rust these are not going to be fun. I would say grind or drill the heads off the screws. Pull the glass out then deal with that rust. The glass will come out easy frame and all as one. I will put A photo in for you. Front 1\4's PULL THEM. here. http://www.240z.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3077 Read this it will help. Black. Please think about what you want. The darker the color the more flaws in the body pop out. You will also want A carwash at your house. Black shows dirt and dust more then any other color. But A Z in black would look good.
