hey all! Thanks to Dangerdan is was able to buy a car and we are now preparing shipping. Its sitting at his house and this is a first update. I will write a big update once it´s sitting here im my driveway

cleanroom laminar flow with FFU units and slotted floor......but for carburettor cleaning, hmmm. There are special Ultrasonic cleaners, so if you have access to an Ultrasonic tank forget this and take the default cleaner and US
-
yup, i wear 2 pairs of gloves when handling it. But it should get rid of the fumes and we solve stuff that acetone can´t solve anymore.

into the atmosphere... Thats the problem

i have always wondered if DMSO does the job. No fumes, easy storage, but about the nastiest stuff once you get it conterminated with other stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyl_sulfoxide
we use it to remove fully crosslinked carbon e.g. resist for microtechnology especially after etching (very high temp, sort of). Good thing, gets solid below 18°C and doesn´t produce fumes below 60°C. If pure, you could drink it (lethal dose is higher than for alcohol)

Hi,
sorry i know i asked for those parts in another thread but maybe this increases visibility. So if anybody has a louver for a 2+2 and a g-Nose for an ok price please let me know. Also looking for a Nardi steering wheel, one can dream, right?
best regards,
Richard

if there is somebody in California with a 2+2 louver feel free to write
preferrably the Interpart-Mullholland one as pointed out by TonyD in 2005 .... -
Hey,
i am also looking for a chrome mirror, Euro style air dam (like this http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic02a01b/50-1404 ) and louwers if anybody has them or a good price
and a 5 speed from a 81-83 280zx

this is more or less standard procedure here as well (which is why paintjobs are so darn expensive). Afterwards it´s Ovatrol / Mike Sanders or some other rust proofing. Well, if you don´t like redoing all in 10 years ,that is.
For Citroen DS a restauration specialist did some conservation and just put the panels outside. Funny thing, the GDR made panels rusted from the inside out since they were made from inferior quality metal ...

Hello,
hopefully i may get my 2+2 soon but i am in need of a driver side Fender for a 76´. Location in LA or near Stockton would be perfect.
Also looking for the usual parts, PU bushings set, Break lines, shocks and springs
and if somebody has a spare G-Nose let me know
best regards,
Richard

I am still looking, so keep it coming
...thanks so far to everybody for helping me out. To specify, i need a complete car with an ok interior/engine. The rest i can fix. I would vastly prefer original paint as is can´t hide botched repairs (that good...) -
as luck has it i might get a free flight to San Francisco in february (not sure yet). Tony, i´m a bit scared to ask what "in rough shape" means for you
-
free=unused and not free=unpaid (i live 20km from the border, and i guess they are okay now
) -
Hey Dangerdan,
the car has been offered to me several times, seller was not really my kind of person. Since he told me he already worked on getting it running and now it states "cranks over" i´ll pass on this one. I also put some pictures of that one up and when i send comments from you guys to him he somewhat lost interest to sell
@Tony, i guess you don´t have pictures? Maybe if your friend ships cars to the netherlands again he has a free spot in a container.
(i need a reliable seller more than most of you guys since i´m new with this and its really anoying when they bail out while i try to get shipping going )
-
Hey,
you guys are great! Yes, wrong coast indeed. Tony, do you have a link or something? The 12XXX $ car looks sweat but i´ll pass
Since i have a money-eating rustmonster sitting at home i´m in no hurry -
Time for an update. Thank you all for helping but i wasn´t abled to score one
instead i went up Maine and enjoyed the time (always keeping one eye open). The closest i came was " my neighbor had one sitting behind his house till last year " Anyways, had a great time and i´m back to Craigslist (with a small detour called Land Rover Santana 109 6 Cylinder Diesel ) but still looking.One funny thing, car rentals didn´t have my car so i got a Cadillac CTS sports (upgraded all the way from smallest category) ......quite nice actually

Somebody from Albuquerque around?
http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/5138227210.html -
i agree on that 800$ car, First ad was 1000$ and engine failures, now it´s 800 and engine good
still undecided on where to go though. From the vacation aspect it would be seattle, the car aspect would say south ^^
-
Update, found this: http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/pts/5125671177.html
maybe worth checking out, doesn´t look too bad for the price. Anybody from Orange county around?

Why a 2+2 ? Well, i´m rather large and the 2+2 has more space. I actually like the design, espeicall with a Gnose (i drove a Citroen Ds for 2 Years) and i like the longer wheelbase. Also, i need to carry more than 2 people.
Why america? Well, i got an opportunity to go to a conference. If i get another conference maybe Au it will be (but shipping is higher i guess)
@Bludestiny: Sonora looks awesome. Flights are on the pricy side though, but i will definitely consider this
edit: Sedona, not Sonora
-
hahaha, my thoughts exactly (have this car bookmarked quite some time now)
btw. Craigslist is now blocking non US Ip´s , i only can contact people when i use a US based Proxy. Does anybody know if non-us Emails get deleted as well (since he didn´t answer my mail)?
-
Sounds good, but how easy is the access? I would fly to Seattle and need public transport to go there. (i don´t know about recent times, but public transport in america seemed to be non existing ^^)

Hi,
as luck has it, i´m going to a conference in New York first week of August. Afterwards, there is one week free. I´d like to know if there are places you guys can recommend, both for possible car purchase and general vacation. Since i´ll be one week in New York, i will use the time to browse Craigslist etc. Nevertheless, if somebody knows of an offer or has some ideas how to spend the second week, i would be glad. Thing is, i want to see some other parts of America as well and have
-roughly one Week time (8-13.08)
-go where i might find a car (ideally a 280z 2+2 )
-go where i can spend a week with possibly some nice nature and without need to get a rental car etc (so far this would be Seattle with Olympic national park)
Ideas?

wow. thanks for the entertaining read. I have to second that it makes a huge difference if an engine is aimed to make 100.000 k reliably or an unknowable mileage with a bang. It´s classic design of components, you have a standard deviation of when your engine normally blows up (manufacturers test´s ) and you mulitply this with whatever you want to have in terms of "safety zone" and reduce power (or increase build quality) till your engines match this safety zone. This is more power lost than 1 PSI boost ever will produce. If you on the other hand only care about ONE engine and NO target mileage it should survive, then it´s a completely different game.
and yes, the dragracing time-calculation is ok, it will just give you a MINIMAL HP, expecting no losses by friction by tires or air-drag(or you need a well known cw value with spoiler etc) and a perfectly running engine (termodynamically speaking). Basically an inertia-limited acceleration of a pointmass with the mass of the car, and every deviation from this can only be that actual HP is higher.

hey,
making progress. Just out of curiosity, how do they call the lower chrome trim on the doors? Somebody got it for a 2+2 ?
