Guest Anonymous Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 I also posted some pics. of my custom roll cage. My interior really took a beating. Any idea where I can get a new console, rear panels, carpeting for rear strut towers etc....I hope repairing my interior is going to be cheaper than the roll cage.... www.gotumph.com use the search engine and type in - Hoover's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted April 18, 2001 Share Posted April 18, 2001 Nice Pics! Those sure are huge fender flares! ------------------ http://members.tripod.com/~SnowSurfer/mikekz1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted April 18, 2001 Share Posted April 18, 2001 Hoover, your picture of the Z with the airdam looks suspiciously like the Z that was on ebay a few months ago! Is that the same car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted April 19, 2001 Share Posted April 19, 2001 The cage looks great... What size tube did you use and do you have some pix of how they did the attaching points??? I really like how they did the sides and the hoop, really tight fit. If you painted it black it would really blend in and look sharp. You probibly wouldn't even notice it from the outside. Now your car is no sleeper but this gives ideas to the rest of us... Thanks ------------------ Remember it is only a piece of metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 19, 2001 Share Posted April 19, 2001 Give me a couple of days and I'll get you some pics. of the connecting points. There just like bolt in cages, except mine were welded into the floor pan. The cage was designed for a street car and to be as "out" of my way as possible.

Guest Anonymous Posted April 19, 2001 Share Posted April 19, 2001 Nope, I've had my Z for over 12 years. The Z on Ebay has the same body panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 19, 2001 Share Posted April 19, 2001 Head on over to Japan Town and rent the videos. They've got all of them. There are a bunch of guys that I met at the Stanford Car show that live in SF. One or two of the guys know you (Pete, Yee and John). Yee went with me to the photo shoot for my car. When I get my Red Z back, I'll shoot you an email and we can all hook up in SF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 19, 2001 Share Posted April 19, 2001 Hey 327, Do you own a Red Z and bought it not too long ago. If so, I saw your Z when the old owner had it. I was driving to the Sunset District one day and saw this Red Z car with nice rims stuck at a gas station. I pulled up and the guys couldn't get it started. I stayed there with him for 45 minutes trying to get the starter to catch. Unfortunately, his car wasn't running well. Is it the same one? I can't remember the guys name, but I know he has two kids.

Guest Anonymous Posted April 20, 2001 Share Posted April 20, 2001 Hey 327, I think your was the same car I saw at the gas station. He had it for sale on Yahoo for about 7000.00. I think his name is Kevin and you description is fairly accurate. I'll know the car if I see it for sure. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about Canada. I've got two volunteers that want to go with me so far. You going to Motorsport next week? Who's Warren? What kind of work does he do? Maybe he can work on my Z?
