Apex is replacing the parts that were intended for the 510 struts with the proper ones for the 280zx arms. This will fix the issue.

I am continuing to make some progress. Of course not in the order I planned, but progress is progress. I loosely fit the headliner. I know this is the easy part but at least it is in and the bows fit. Once it settles a bit, I can start steaming, pulling, clamping, stretching, swearing, etc. Found ou...

Post some pictures!

I have both the front and rear suspension and similarly, I have run into several fitment issues, which I have posted in my build thread. A few things that I have strongly suggested to them, but yet to be corrected as far as I know - a full packing list which lists every part, nut bolt, washer, etc. ...

You're in the right place! Would be great to see a picture of your wagon. Posting pictures here is limited to 500kb or something so you need to shrink them if you are going to post some.

Following to see how it goes and sending positive vibes your way!

I thought I was in in over my head... If you can make this cool, I'm in awe.

Not to say it isn't cool... but a big project and cool to me = finished :^).

Quite a collection Keith. Thanks for sharing. I agree that the site is unusually quiet. I still wonder if shutting access to viewing the forums without approved registration is hurting the site.

I followed a post here on the Realm and another one over on Ratsun.net for guidance. Here is the lock hole in post painting form on the passenger side do...

You just need to wait for an admin to authorize you. They typically do that after you post here, requesting access but they may have missed your post.

With your steering arm issue. Why not just swap struts side to side? Put the calipers on the rear instead of the front or visa versa? Did not think of trying that or know it was an option, but makes sense (I think). Not sure if that has any impact on anything??? The new arms are on their way so I'l...

I have an L Series 5 speed. How do I tell if it is FS5W71B?

That looks like quite the adventure! If you have the metal working skills, this will be a rewarding project.

I was pretty happy with the Zero Rust on the rear bumper so off I went with getting the front bumper prepped... Front Bumper prep.jpg And the finished product...
