Well, my interior is really different. I wanted a '60's British sports car look, so I now have a wood dash and am building a wood (veneer) console. Here is what I've done so far.

OK, here are the pictures. Jim PS It doesn't look like the struts have been modified, does it?

Hi, I have a '74 260Z that has had the top chopped off to make it into a roadster. Now, I have added a GM 350 (iron heads and manifold) & T5 transmission. The car presently has BMW 320 springs with home-made adjusters (?, at least that's what the previous owner said) on all 4 corners done 10 years ago. The car bounces around like an old buckboard. So, my question is what would be the easiest, lowest cost solution for a cruiser that will not be raced, but also a decent riding machine. I could: 1. just change the strut cartridges and leave the springs (the lowest cost). 2. buy used springs and new struts cartridges (low cost). 3. Buy new springs and strut cartridges (moderate cost, but starting to get to the wife disapproval point). 4. ???? I know there have been many discussions on this sort of topic, but mostly by the racing crowd. I need sound advice on what would be best for my beast. Thanks, Jim

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!11 That solves a huge worry.

Hi, I'm sure at least one of you has solved this problem. I'm replacing the mechanical coolant temperature and oil pressure gauges with electric units. The problem is that I would like to use Teflon tape to make sure there are no leaks. Unfortunately, (and obviously) this interferes with the natural grounding of the sensor unit. What have you done to get a good ground? Thanks, Jim

Hi, I've got a 375 Hp/350 and a T5 installed in my '74 260Z. I'm just finishing up wiring the aftermarket wiring harness and have the interior completely gutted. I know this engine is going to dump a lot of heat to the passenger compartment and since I live in Phoenix, which is always hot anyway, I need to insulate the passenger cabin floor and firewall. So, what do you recommend for the best heat insulation so I don't have to drive a rolling sauna? Jim
