Nice work Mark.
Im sure you will get it sorted and running well in time.
Great that you bagged a rare one..
Have fun with it.
PS if you like the colour thats great, but I think with those wheels you should do the window surround black as well - imho

Not sure what the actual colour is but i love it. As i`ve said before it`s very similar to my old MGB colour & i never did find out what it was.
Good luck geting it sorted

Hi Mark, I had been watching that, I wondered who had bought it. Good luck with it, probably drive you round the twist but I'm sure it will be worth it in the long run. The cooling was the first issue I had to deal with, got a 52mm Godspeed ally rad from the States. Still sorting out problems 3years on, new engine, new carbs,suspension, battery, seats, wheels etc etc

As the rear diff mount is such a bodge up - loads of bits welded on top and bottom and its solid mounted that I've decided to fit an entire rear subframe in.
I'm going to then use a std PPF but as it isn't easy to mount it to a 300ZX box I'm going to cut most of it off it and then 'rubber' mount it to the trans tunnel.
I'm also deleting all the exhaust boxes and running twin pipes - there is a 'sound off' at Supercar Sunday and last year they took the pi$$ out of Steve's 5 which he entered for a bit of fun, this 5 should be 'competative'

Whilst the rad's height looks a bit silly it does mean that its the highest point without having to bother with a header tank and its width is bang on to allow the intake pipes around it to the front.
So I think I'll get it re-cored to double thickness and then add an undertray etc as currently there is no ducting what so ever.
TBH I don't think this is going to be enough of a monster to stop me building my V8 so I'm going to MOT the donor Soarer so I can use it in the meantime.
