No worries Hank, that is a nice looking Zed! Are those 15" wheels? I'm rethinking my decision to stay with 14" wheels for my car. Like you I have the steels and D caps tucked away.

Nice looking car! The override bars on the bumpers are not correct for the year, though. The price seems high, hope they get it!

Now that's a stretched wheel base! I can't see any sign of reinforcement of the chassis in the photos of the 250 replica. The engine bay looks rough, and the steering column appears to be...

How do you extend the wheelbase? You'd have to cut the car in half wouldn't you?

I second that! Went looking for some pics of your car and couldn't find any!

You're right Jim , Lighting makes a huge difference. Here are some of pics Mike sent. They will be disassembling everything to start the rebuild.

Hey Chris, thanks for the report! Mike is going to send me some pictures which I will post once I get them. The colour is supposed to be the original 903 blue. I've only seen the original colour in...

Quick update on my car, it is waiting at the body shop for Mike to inspect and should be back to White Heads' by Wednesday!

Wow, that really is a great find, for such a low VIN for it to be rust free is incredible! I would start your own thread to document your progress and post lots of photos. I know that everyone on...

Hey Bbear, That's the conclusion I've come to as well! As fun as it would be to drive back, I would have been sick about all the hazards you mentioned! I didn't really want such a concours quality...

OOPS! I looked back at the rest of the thread! Your car looks fantastic, I hope to see it and you next year, maybe at Datsun meet in Kelowna .

Nice! I see your body shop uses a high resolution camera, so you can see lots of detail. Wish mine did! Any idea when the body will be done?

The links work for me, not sure what is happening.

Wow, only 5200$ so far for this beauty, somebody please grab it.(My wife says no!)

Thanks Colin! I am hoping the car will be back to Whiteheads this week. Not sure how long they have to wait before wet sanding and polishing. Once Mike gets it back it will be at least 4 weeks I...

Hey Chris, looks like I will have to ship it back, unless Mike will store it all winter! Don't think I could wait another six months to have it in the garage again! The more I look at the pics the...

Thanks for that Hank. It's great to have people from this site all over North America, who can provide on the spot reports! Mike said these guys were very good, I am ALMOST going to be afraid to...

Well, for once "next week" actually happened! Here are some photos of the car actually being painted as promised! I just wish this guy had a better camera, it's difficult to see much detail, but it...

Here's a garage find 1971 on Bring a Trailer.

Just got an e mail from Mike. The boss is back and wanted a couple of areas filled and primed again, which is happening today. Should be painted next week!(grain of salt;)) Stand by for more pics!

Yeah, it's been an education! I can't believe that any business runs this way. I think all the resto shows on tv skewed my expectations! You know the ones where four guys completely strip, fix , and...

Well I got back from vacation expecting the paint to be done and the car back at Whiteheads. Nope. Apparently the body shop manager had a family crisis that required him to be away from the shop for...
