  1. I saw a pretty cheap bead roller on Eastwood's site not too long ago. I think it was around $100. Don't know how well it works, but it was a bead roller nonetheless.
  2. All the NJ members on here seem to be in North NJ I know of only 2 or 3 people in South NJ, and one in Philly.
  3. That link requires a log in. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320438297161
  4. Mine was advertised as minimal rust. All things considered, I haven't found that much rust in addition to that. I can't even put my foot through the floor.
  5. Looks like you've got a bit of work cut out for you with that body. I'm not too far from you BTW. About 30 minutes east of Philly.
  6. Nissan restored a bunch of 240zs and sold them new a while ago. Something like that anyway.
  7. I frequent this site, bimmerforums.com, and tristatetuners.com (regional). I pop in on pirate4x4 and ratsun as well on occasion.
  8. I saw an RB 240z with Revolution gauges, which looked relatively stock.
  9. I was expecting this to be useful until the end, lol. Pity, because I have a few of these clocks. Not sure if they work, haven't tried.... but if I had to guess...
  10. A regional has been considered before, and turned down every time. Personally I think it's a good idea, but the administration feels differently.
  11. It does? All I see is surface rust which is no big deal.
  12. If you have the time and skills to repair rust or the money to pay someone else to fix it, then yes, I would consider it for a track car or stripped out street car. The rust doesn't look bad, and I can't see any on the body, but that interior is completely trashed. Check the floorboards and the rest of the underside for rust. If they are completely rusted out, I'd pass on it.
  13. That's a really nice car. Tastefully done.
  14. It won't lock when they're OPEN? Well, first, I'm not surprised. My mom's Jetta won't lock when open. Second, why are you trying to lock them when open? Great way to accidentally lock yourself out of your car. None of my Z's have working locks though, so I can't confirm if this is how they work or not.
  15. The rear of your rear flares looks like it needs to be tucked in a little more towards the fender lip. Also, those tires are huge.
  16. That seems to be the trend for websites lately. Make them really cool looking. Cool animations, sounds when you roll over buttons, and of course, a royal pain in the ass to use.
  17. Just checked it out. No serious rust, but there is rust. Some bubbling, some minor pitting, some serious pitting, and a small hole. JSM might have something better.
  18. I think this (tail light panel) piece on my parts car is pretty solid if you're interested. The rear 1/4's are GONE at the bottom though. I'm a little close to you are than he is so shipping wouldn't be as expensive.
  19. You are going to be SCREWED if you get caught. Stop driving until you can do so legally.
  20. I'm the 3rd/4th+ owner of all my Zs. This should be good. 280z: Floor repairs. THIN, like almost paper thing, metal, screwed over the holes. bondo varying in thickness ranging from 1/16 to 1/2". Only bondo on the car, thank god. Carpet - glued onto all the rear interior plastic panels. When I was working on the car, I noticed my arm turning black - it was the carpet. Trashed. Wiring. There were switches with wires that went NO WHERE. I thought one switch was for the fuel pump, and being a 16 year old noob, I thought I accidentally pulled the fuel pump switch when taking the center console out because the car didn't start right away. So I proceeded to take the whole car apart - dumb idea. RTV is not for holding on the drip rail trim. That's really it for that car. It wasn't bad. 240z #1 (now scrapped): Just one - body work. Originally a CA car, then came to the east coast, and apparently rotted out. Things I found - riveted on rockers, new rear 1/4s brazed on over top the old one at the top. Very poorly brazed on. Alignment, welds, etc. Lots of bondo. Some things weren't welded at all. Holes in front upper frame structure fiberglassed over. Some VERY poor attempts to weld up holes in the frame rails. A 1/2 bolt going between the TC rods. 240z #2: RTV and plexiglass is not the proper way to seal off the hatch vents, OR putting on the interior hatch panel. Past that, nothing horrible. Some thick bondo, nothing major as far as I can tell. Floor pan patches could be better. Not awful. Sure would be nice if the doors actually lined up though. I think the car was hit, and improperly fixed. I really hope it was just the door alignment, or the repairs are going to be $$$$$. The paint on the car could definitely have been done better. Just because it works doesn't mean it's a good idea.
