Z0wner Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 Pat, I'm in a small town roughly 20 mi north of Bloomington/normal area. What type of Z do you own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patzky1 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Z0wner, So, you're in the area of Chenoa, El Paso, Gridley, Secor... cool. Trust me, you can say the name of the town and I will definitely know its location. Maybe you live in Kappa and don't want to admit it LOL. I have a 77 280Z with a JTR sbc. SiL-LadY, Never heard of Garage Kwai. Sorry! I have been to the Woodfield mall, though, if that counts for anything. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z0wner Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 "Z0wner, So, you're in the area of Chenoa, El Paso, Gridley, Secor... cool. Trust me, you can say the name of the town and I will definitely know its location. Maybe you live in Kappa and don't want to admit it LOL." Although I do not live in Kappa, if I did I wouldn't admit it. LOL Well, I recently got a 260z stock, fairly good condition for a 35 year-old vehicle. Some rust throughs and have been looking for a body-shop, or an enthusiast that would do a good job for a reasonable price. I would do it my-self, but being a high-schooler makes purchasing the welder and other tools kind of expensive. I am not sure what are good places to buy Z parts in Central IL, so if you have any experience with shops around here and would like to share it, that would be very helpful. By the way, have any pics of your Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tony78_280z Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I was in southern IL, now I'm in StL. Bet heck we are practically neighbors. Any of you Illinois boys gonna host a Z event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluto Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I wouldnt mind filling up the parking lot of my storage unit up with z's... Fridge, barbeque and tools there.. just about everything a body needs Also located about smack dab between the chicago folks and the central IL folks. Food for thought. Sam ps.

Z0wner Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Thank You, I'd be more than willing to go to a meet, but my Z needs restoration, not much to look at (yet) and in the condition it is in now, it wouldn't be able to make the trip Its gotta a lotta work that could be done to it yet...

Ivan280zt Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 SiL-LadY, Have you seen red 280z with big front mount and 18's rolling around Stratford mall?

heavy85 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Decatur (one hour south of Bloominton, one hour East of Springfield, one hour west of Champaign) - if I can figure out my coilover problem I'll be at the autox at the Coles County Airport near Charleston this Sunday which will be the first race for the Z . Also I just suckered a co-worker into getting a 280 which should be delivered from Louisianna next week and he's probably lurking on here somewhere. He's already talking turbo and Megasquirt By the way I'm in need of a windshield if anyone has one they are willing to part with or know of a jy that may have one around here. Cameron 240 shipped in from Cali last year running L28, tripples, coilovers, ZG flares, etc...too much to list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
