I always enjoy posts of your Z. I have a similar vintage (and a few replies to other posts of yours).

Enjoy the easy fixes. I just idioted my way into a $1000 (exactly) repair bill by replacing the alternator and overtightening the alternator/water pump belt. Read more

Peter, rejoice now, as its probably a safe bet that the next failure will be a wallet-drainer. Read more

Nice work!  Its amazing what a good amount of cleaning and fixing the ‘little things’ can do to a vehicles value. Read more

Color me impressed! You did an excellent job with this Ranger, and thanks for documenting the process so thoroughly. It goes to show what a bit of work, some basic repairs, and some soap and water can do for a car’s resale value. Read more
