These mirrors were on some kids Zcar with the horrible flares, several people asked about them but it seemed most people cared more about the fenders. Can anybody tell me where these came from, or any close to them?

Ok here are some updated pictures after a days work, like I promised. First is the mysterious tarped Z, soon to be for sale! Here is my project car, at the beginning of the day. The front drivers side suspension, notice the tc arms are bolted in, dont do that. The strut assembly with stage three silver mine motors calipers Bolted in to place with eibach progressive springs What to do about this... Empty space for now. PARTS! parts for me and parts for you, surely I won't need all those. It was raining so I didn't take a picture of the car under the tarp, but I have them on a disc at my garage so next week they will be up. I can only work sundays so thats when you can expect updated pictures!

lol, im sure somebody saw some humor in it, but seriously, tomorrow I will take a picture of the stock location, unless someone can help you before.

Yes I learned from my father and his twin brother, who happens to own a shop where he does special request classic car rebuilds. They both have 25 years plus of experience. Both can weld, my uncle was a commercial welder for nearly 10 years. I just got lucky I guess, I believe it is a great skill to have. Maybe I will run over to my garage tonight and snap a few pictures since you guys are so demanding! At work now so I will post pictures tonight.

First let me say I posted here to receive any and all feedback on this project. Criticism only makes things better. A few words about myself and my Z quest. I am 17 years old and have several years of experience rebuilding cars. I have fully restored a 1963 Chevy Nova Convertible, a 1968 Ford Bronco (My daily driver) and a 1969 El Camino. All three of those I worked along side my father and his brother learning the trade and now I am on my own. I wanted something that will get me better gas mileage, for the time being at least, and something with potential to be fast. Finally, I wanted something not American, but not a Honda. I came to the Z. I hit up craigslist and after a few weeks purchased a 1973 240z from a guy in my own town for $300. It had a running L28 with a 5 speed but the brakes were shot so I towed it home. The car had major rust problems and body damage, I was looking at two to three thousand in body work and rust replacement. However, within the week I found another $300 1973 240z about 50 miles away, this one not running, but with a 100% rust free body. Had to have it. That brings everything up to date. I began the projects by stripping out all interior parts and pulling both motors. Followed by cleaning and painting the front suspension, replacing the struts and springs and going to urethane bushings. So far I only have pictures of the new progressive eibach springs. Sunday will bring pictures of the cars and all progress made.

I work at a local car audio shop and we sell both under body neons and LED's. I would heavily recommend under body LED's over the neons, in fact LED's over neon inside as well. The neon will break, period, they do not bend so the light you want is difficult to achieve, and finally they consume more power than the LED's. Lol, just my imput from experience.

Actually, many places across the United States see far more rain than Seattle, in fact Seattle is not even in the top ten rainiest cities in the US! However, it did snow this morning as well as yesterday morning. Makes for cold weather to work on a Zcar restoration!

well i would not be the one to recommend a middle man. Maybe someone here has done work with japanese vendors, try searching.

HKS intake for sale on Japanese Yahoo http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b80209856 Can buy through a middle man to get in the States

Is that something you found in the search feature? M4xwellmurd3r, http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=131790

if I get rickrolled one more time... Try watching any youtube featured videos.

Anybody have any idea what mirrors these are?

Yeah plenty of them. I plan on modeling my splitter off of his. I was just hoping to see any and all pictures

mark, do you have any pictures of your splitter?

Well now that somebody else posted on this old thread, 240hoke, could you post measurements for the splitter? maybe a diagram or something?

Yeah, and you live in spokane. It was snowing downtown seattle today

Lol, LCD's in 1973 automotive industry.

Pressurized carb? I live in washington and the weather is never the same, I don't really feel like tuning my carb every day to match the atmospheric pressure. Plus, 4 barrel is too far from Zcar for me.

If you live up in everett check out http://www.zspecialties.com/ they sell pretty much any level of zcar you are looking for, and they only sell their cars to local guys. It's right outside of Snohomish up Cathcart hill

well that got bought, and i got out bid. If anyone is looking to sell any kit similar to that one, or have parts please pm me.

sold for 360, anybody on here get it? I guess its back to fabbing my own intake manifold.

bidding now.

Um, well that would probably depend on your experience. If you want that to be fixed, and not come back, you will be sanding the paint down, and cutting out the section to replace it. Most of the time a little bit of rust leads to a lot more. When you weld in a patch panel you grind the welds down so it doesn't look like its there.
