  1. Not yet as far as i know.
  2. Hi all. Please forgive me for posting this here and not in the classifieds. My friend owns Alvins Auto Recyclers in Oakland. He recently took this car in. I know absolutely nothing about it, nor have any interest in it. I told him not to part it out yet until I could post here. If you are interest call Flash at 510) 658-3101.
  3. Check with MSA. They may be able to help. Or send Esprist an email and see if he can get you one. I got my BRE set up from him.

    Thanks Arne. How I missed that thread is beyond me. Thanks Grant. I'll cut about .5" off first and then see how it goes. I bought a new differential mount, u joints upper fore and aft control arm bushings. Also half shaft boots and clamps. I think I can get the rear end back together, but those half shaft ujoints are going to be a challenge. Coincidence? All three of us have/had yellow Zs.

    ey Grant, Got a question for you. I just ordered the RT Mount yesterday. Got an email saying it shipped today. Pretty darn good service.. You mention a sharp knife. How do I know how much to cut off the bump stop? Will the differential show resistance when reinstalled?
  7. I have the same control knob in my 71, installed by the dealer. I don't know the manufacturer of the knob, but my setup has a York compressor under the hood.

    Not in the OC but the 909. Which in So Cal means right next door.
  9. Hi there Tom. Let me know if I can help. I live in Pomona (about 5 miles from Ontario-California that is.)
  10. Well if Jay takes first and second, then I'll still have to keep trying. You should do well on the sale Bob. You Z is a beauty. It will always show well. Good luck with the porsche!
  11. Didn't the BRE spoiler have air dams? Mine does. And, by the way Jim, I have a 1971 that had the "spook" spoiler installed by the dealer.
  12. When I spoke to her she never mentioned painting the car. For me that would be not what I had in mind. I still have the original paint in great shape. But maybe if they fixed a couple of dents and my roof...
  13. Not even food and lodging. And since it is in Napa...not even wine. I offered the car to them if they had insurance to trailer it, but the budget isn't large enough...
  14. I called her Rich but that is a road too long for me.

    Kathy and Rick. I had to have my BRE spook repainted on my 71 sunshine yellow car. The painter matched the paint exactly from the paint codes. The onlyissue is that they had to use clear coat. This is California after all. So the end product has more gloss than my original paint. Luckily its under the front chin so unless you look closely it is not noticeable.

    Hey there Arne. Good luck with the sale. Just saw your post here. As long as you have fun with your next purchase it doesn't really matter what you get. Saw your mention of the 1100. My second car in 1970 was a 1100 sedan. Loved that car. No power but sure fun to drive.
  17. Well done. Superb end result. I have the same wheel, albeit the smaller width but it is full of imperfections and stains. Great price too. You keep the period correct look that way.

    Hi Guy. Check this post out., Randy http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28784&highlight=canada+hatch+strut
  19. Very nice John. They look fantastic.
  20. Forget it Arne. Its not worth the effort.

    Those seats looked wicked Rich. Since you are not keeping it stock you may as well put in a nice music system.
  22. Congrats Rich. And Jay. I woke up saw the rain and deceided not to go. Looks like I missed out on a great show.
  23. Hi Dan. I have some series 1 parts on mine and its a 2-71 build date. That being said, my hoses are fastened at the top. VIN: 23242 . I attach a blurry picture with the original hoses.
  24. Arne. You are correct. After 40+ years the tape on my hose disintegrated and some melted into the weave. I thought it was paint, but after speaking with Jay last evening he also informed me that it was tape. Mystery solved. Thanks Arne.
  25. Jay, As always, over the top. One question though. What about the 1/4 inch white paint ring that was on the original hose? Should one just use some white SEM paint for that?
