the wheels are the TÜV version but came out a LOT nicer than I expected. They have all season tires which I got dirt cheap so I have a TÜV set with some actual use in early/late season driving (background: since the car can technically go 210 with the Tüvs formula I would need to buy right sized high-speed tires which are silly expensive, with all season tires you can but up to 2 speed indexes slower tires while still being legal ...isn´t german DMV fun -_-). Just in case they complain about the general lee ones ^^
 
Next: Paint and reassembly. Will keep the stock paint, dull but the car is too good to mess with. just hope my seal pack didn´t get lost in transit (dangerdan? ) ^^

Parts without certificate are getting harder to get through TÜV (wheels, exhaust and so on). That was easier a few years ago. They don't have to be stock, most inspectors of the TÜV don't even know whats stock on Z but it helps when they have the right measurements and look stock/old.

 

 

The historic certificate is on another level:

Any mods must have been possible +10 years of built date or older than 30 years but nobody would care about the heat shields. They are more forgiving for mods which are not visible.

Tyres at most 10mm wider than stock.

A good optical condition.

 

But that also means the maximum amount of tax for the car is $215. Normally dependent of the engine displacement. For example the L24: $730/yearly without historic certificate and $215 with it. Helps a lot on big V8s.

Tüv is discussing with me about the turbine wheels even though they aare period correct and on the car. But they weren´t noted in the cars documents (surprise in america) so they won´t allow it. Now I need to bring period parts calatogues to proove they are period correct ...

 

and yes, autobahn and Nürburgring, both places a not 100%  safe car willget you killed ;)

sitting really high in the back, hope it settles down (kept the original springs but got new shocks in, Gabriel iirc). It actually still had the fully serviceable units.

 

in other news, care package in all its glory, seals , stuff and more. Big shout out towards California. Man, i love those blue plates, sooo sad i can´t run them here

the one time i really like dark and moist garages when storing cars. Germany, the land of pristine uncracked dashes... even still flexes (but oh, the rust. Came from the black beauty 2+2 i butchered some time ago). Also, window is in (also from donor as last one broke -_-   sadly the windshield has scratch marks (who needs wiper blades .... ) . Did anybody try to polish those off?
