  1. Do you mean the panel that slots into space created by rear strut? 14N makes them, I have one from 14N that I no longer need because I traded up to a 370, no idea what to ask for it so feel free to make an offer.
  2. Try Mitz at Cougar Store. Just down the road in Leicester, Z specialist and well regarded trader on here. Also a great place to meet other Z owners.
  3. The progress on two fronts is astounding, How you manage to build the z shed AND build the bionic z at the same time is beyond me ! Keep it up, your z will be better (if not bigger) than before.
  4. Just done nearly 300 miles on mine for a half term trip to cornwall, confident even in the wet and great on some of the local roads down here but a little twitchy over the white paint in the wet. Heading back up this pm and it looks like rain again!
  5. You are required to inform the police IF you don't swop details with all interested parties, or if there are injuries, otherwise they dont want / need to know. If you make a claim at any stage during your policy and your car is a total loss the policy generally ends otherwise the policy will only be adjusted at renewal. As said earlier and others have also said, insurance is not fair but you have to see it from their side, it's easier for them to refund an adjustment than Chase an individual, and yes any reported accident will potentially impact future premiums regardless of fault and even if you have protected n.c.b.
  6. O.p. seems to have gone quiet on this, hopefully he has taken the advice and is patiently awaiting a full refund.
  7. Chris, it's nice to see you are so thoughtful as to keep the supply of blocks topped up but I have to say you haven't moved enough to keep the work rate up tomorrow so you need to get back out there NOW ! Ha ha.
  8. Are you sure you don't mean beer "battered"
  9. After you had hit the damage would have meant strapping it to the roof would have been ok because you probably couldn't do any more harm (to your car) Would have been VERY expensive venison burgers though so well done for not being tempted
  10. HI and welcome Enjoy "taking your time" with the mods, it will be worth it.
  11. Why were you slacking, Clarkson would have it flattened by 09:00 and driven off site ! Ha ha! Your job must totally beat the stress ball !
  12. I did the same on my 350, got a new knob from a trader on here, removal was exactly the same, it looked great and felt great too. Unfortunately, I had it engraved with 350z so it stayed, but will definately be changing this one.
  13. Welcome, Keep looking and post some pics when you find the right one.
  14. Bob, do you get the feeling the offer of help could see you "donating" parts to Andy's restoration project ! The speed you work is dizzying, keep it up!
  15. Excellent progress, seeing the door on makes me realise just how bent the rear wing is! You will soon have this looking ace again!
  16. You shul get in the habit of always using the credit card, even if it's just for a deposit, letters from credit card companies will always carry more weight than from you. You can also tackle them from two fronts simultaneously, most companies will back down fairly quickly when faced with this. Good luck.
  17. Plus one for Cougar Store, Mitz and Andy did all the work on my 350 for nearly three years, and will shortly be looking to part me from my hard earned money to do "essential" maintenance on the 370. Just watch out cos zeditis is rife among Cougar Store customers !
  18. Totally agree with Ekona, this is your only sensible action. I would immediately phone your credit card company, they will send out some forms to start a claim through them, they are equally liable (always seems unfair on them but that's the rule) despite you only paying some of the money on card you can claim the full amount, it is then their responsibility to re coupe the money from the trader, this is a slow process but I can assure you it does works. Remember, there are plenty of Z's out there.
  19. It was never going to remain stock for long once in your hands ! I bet Netty is glad you have a new project ha ha.
  20. Welcome, don't get too fixated on insurance and road tax costs ! They won't make that much difference over a year ! Find a Z you like & nothing else will matter !!!
  21. Don't worry about that, I have family in Andover so great excuse to visit ! Also ask Buster, I drove down to him for a pair of leather seats on my 350, these cars are made to be driven !
  22. Hi Pm'd if flyby doesn't have these I will !
