  1. You know how much it's gonna cost to ship to Italy?
  2. Here's pix of the panel I just described to you. [/img] [/img] If you leave me a Zip Code I can PM you a quote in a little bit.
  3. 93004. This will cost approx. $14.00 to ship to Wi.
  4. If you don't find it, I have the english one...
  5. I have one $25.00 + shipping. Visors are not part of the deal. It's got a little wave in a one inch section on the bottom where I used heat to straighten it. [/img]
  6. It's real easy to see how this disaster happened and not just from a bubble of methane or bad concrete. One wrong turn led to another and it started a long time ago. From oil discovery and utilization to saleable commodity to industry deregulation to unbridled human greed, lust for power and unchecked arrogance. "When the corporation becomes enthroned an era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people until wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed." Abraham Lincoln Remakably prescient. No one seems to react to anything because we are witnessing the most complete (if misguided) authoritarianism of the modern age. We are owned completely; every thought, every impulse, every desire has been programmed from an early age. Freedom is a destructive illusion. All this was alluded to in Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World Revisited" written in 1958 when he said that the totalitarianism of the future would rely on a system of rewards to keep people in line as opposed to violence and force. Just the threat of the latter is enough to control most, including me. The only way to escape is to "lose one's mind" (whatever that means)" because again Huxley states that individual insanity is immune to the consequences of collective insanity. One can also see the impulse of a people to act against their own best self interests in the masterwork of Wilhelm Reich "The Mass Psychology of Fascism". Political paradigms don't seem to disappear they just get recontextualized. So we sit and wait for people who aren't really in control to do something to save this planet from our monumental blunder. Or we pray to some deity who never seems to be there to save us from ourselves. But it wasn't god who drilled that hole which exploded, it wasn't the devil who could not control the escaping gas bubble , it was just us and we're alone on this one.
  7. I have another pair cleaned up, painted etc. w/ no cracks on lenses. $75.00
  8. Did this happen? I have one if not...
  9. Yes, catatastrophe is the right word. I don't even think the psychic shock of what an oil spill on the level of this has even sunk in yet. An Exxon Valdez level spill; every five days. Ask the residents of coastal Alaska what that was and continues to be like. That's how much oil has/is been/ being released. I think the Gulf of Mexico is history. I mean there was already a "dead (hypoxic) zone" at the mouth of the Mississippi from agricultural runoff. This will pretty much seal the deal. The damage will spread outward in waves. First as the oil washes ashore, we will have a visual with all the usual pathos of oil-soaked birds and oil drowned fish. Then the science will confirm what we see; that the Gulf of Mexico life support systems are gone. The human toll (other than the initial killed 11 victims) comes next, tourism and livelihoods eradicated and the byproducts of this; despair rises manifested by increased drug and alcohol use, domestic violence, murder and suicide go up. This is going to last for a very long time, if there is the luxury of time remaining at this point in history. People don't seem to want to acknowledge what has happened on any level other than the mundane or at least feign outrage, but maybe that's because the usual human mind has a cutoff point for abject horror when it is too much for one soul to take. There are many prices to pay in the slaying of ones illusions in this world and the loss of this reflex is one of them. The blame game is pointless. The further one follows that thread, one finds the truth. We are all complicit. The irony that I am blogging this on an auto enthusiasts website is not lost on me. I am addicted to petroleum, and I can't quit. Everyday brings a fresh relapse and I will not stop. It's easier to ween a junkie off of heroin than it is to get me off of petroleum. It's everywhere and part of everything. I was born into it. It's got a stranglehold on my psyche. I don't think we're ever going to stop until all the resources are used up and everything is destroyed. But that's the cyclical nature of things, everything ends, and this is the beginning.
  10. Here's a huge one for 280z and 280zx owners. I have not researched this, but it seems like it makes sense. I got this tidbit from a fellow car guy. An alternate source for a fuel pump is from EFI'd Volvos. They also use Bosch L or K-Jetronic fuel injection, so it stands to reason the feed on the injectors would require the same fuel PSI. The junkyard closest to my house is filled with clunker Volvo's.
  11. I have them no rust, no bondo, all studs intact. 50.00/ pair + shipping. Pix available.
  12. I'm getting a '73 tomorrow, just to have on hand. If you want it, it's yours.
  13. I still have the one that I sent you a picture for when you first posted this thread.
  14. If all I had to work with was $10.00 I would fix it myself with some Plasticweld epoxy. It's available at Autozone, has a 3500 # test cure and sets up really fast.
