    Maybe I should dig out the Z out of the pile of dirt and parts and get it running....

    Finished up some of the vacuum hoses and bleed the brakes finding a few more leaks and fixing them.

    She is back on the ground for now, waiting for the exhaust to be modified.

    Wired up the main power from the battery and put the battery on charge

    Then cleaned up the underside of the bonnet as it was black from the exhaust leak and tapped up some of the big holes in the engine bay to stop dirt getting in.

    Also tightened up the leaky brake line, so hopefully that fixed the issue, but will check for dampness tomorrow.



    Looking almost complete


    Waiting for the battery to charge fully, so i can test all the electrics before i attempt to crank the engine or put the rest of the interior back in.

    He is an import broker in Japan, so he buys the item over there, gets it posted to his house, packages it up and sends it to you.

    He is very reliable and deals with customers from all over the world

    I buy wheels from the Japan equivalent of eBay auctions, which is Yahoo auctions

    there is always room for 1 more set....

    Shipping from Japan varies in cost depending on the wheel weight

    So I had some sets of 15s cost as little as $250 to ship from Japan, and sets of 17s costs usually around $350-400 to post.

    Things left to do:
    45deg joint
    cut hot pipe down to size
    Extend power cable
    tidy the interior(cable tie wiring out of the way an fit the rest of the trim and seat)

    Crank car for a while to ensure oil spreads throughout the engine
    Fire it up
    Do an oil change

    Test all the interior accessories to make sure all the wiring still works
