Mr Camouflage Posted March 27, 2003 Share #1 Posted March 27, 2003 G'day Californian Zee owners From Down Under.My Brother is up from Australia and is in California untill the 11th of April. I occured to me that he might be able to get a few bits of trim for my 240z that are nearly impossible to find in Australia.I'm after:1 x Front hood emblem2 x side datsun emblems1 x choke lever handleand the 2 plactic cover things that go in the door latch lever thing (one for each door).So if you have an old parts car sitting around the garage or some old bits in a box you dont need, send me an email and i'll see if i can get my brother to pick them up for me. Preferrably cheap or free. Only have 2 weeks to arrange it before he leaves.zed240@hotmail.comCheersCraig.

I don't have any of that stuff, but he could probably get it at Motorsport Auto, or our advertizer Too Intense Restorations.Both in California Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/5343-californians-read-thisbadges-wanted/#findComment-31642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EScanlon Posted March 27, 2003 Share #3 Posted March 27, 2003 If looking for New, contact Andy Russell or Too Intense Restoration, both of them usually have them in stock for immediate shipment. Prices are reasonable considering the scarcity of the items.Used? Now, we're looking at most of the members here, as no doubt, the majority have either obtained new and removed their old, or have gone boneyard shopping to better what they have.Let us know, and where your brother is (city) so that we can maybe coordinate some of this stuff to him.Enrique Scanlon Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/5343-californians-read-thisbadges-wanted/#findComment-31666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfadog Posted March 27, 2003 Share #4 Posted March 27, 2003 Craig, Until yesterday, the badges you wanted were for auction on ebay Australia... I have a spare new choke handle thing somewhere, if I'm thinking of the same part you are. I'll scan a picture in for you if you're interested...

Mr Camouflage Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share #7 Posted March 28, 2003 My Brother is in santa claraYeah saw them on ebay Alfa, thought they were pretty pricey.New ones are nice, but when you convert it back to AUD$ it's very costly.

Bambikiller240 Posted March 28, 2003 Share #8 Posted March 28, 2003 But used ones in any reasonable condition are very difficult to find. Most have broken mounting posts, and/or faded, peeling chrome and paint.Your brother is just about 20 miles from where I live.I'll ask around to see if any friends have what you're looking for.Carl Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/5343-californians-read-thisbadges-wanted/#findComment-31770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Camouflage Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share #9 Posted March 28, 2003 Cheers BK.I dont mind broken posts and faded paint. as long as the chrome is passable. dont have to be perfect. If i wanted perfect, i'd save up and buy new ones.alfa you got pics of that choke handle?Craig.

Mr Camouflage Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share #11 Posted March 29, 2003 Why are you depressed?Is it because your car broke down (i read that in another thread).
