Here's my Z!!

Ok, you'll have to forgive the junk in the backgound, my shed's a mess at the moment.

Here she is, she's not pretty.... yet.

 

 

 

 

 

Is there any difference between the flat top SU's and the round top SU's? I mean besides the shape

 

 

This is one of my factory mags

 

 

This is my woodgrain steering wheel.

 

 

and just because I can, my S30 service manual I scored.

 

 

Anyway, that's my baby. So, what do ya think?

Argly Bargle,

You reckon the shed looks bad. How much did they pay you to cart that load of rust away? The flat tops arn't good. Quite a lot different to the round tops.They are very restrictive and in Oz they are loaded with anti polution gear that was pretty crappy. There are quite a few really good early english cars that had original round tops. Have a look at the Triumph 2000

Disclaimer:My sick sense of humour is not always appreciated.

Best of luck,

From what I'm seeing that looks like a fine canidate for restoration. In my experience, flat tops can be made to perform as well as the rounds, but they are harder to maintain. If you decide to stick with those flat tops, buy a rebuild kit. If you decide to get round tops, get the 3 screw version.

it WAS loaded with polution gear, but most of it's been removed. There are still a few remaining bits I'd like to "tidy away".

They've already had a kit put though them, but if I see a pair of round tops going cheap I'll definately concider them
