Share your swap meet find

[ZR8ED]

So did everyone find what they were looking for at the swap meet? Share your story! I saw some great deals, and if I was fixing up a z right now, I would have picked up a few things for sure. Did you get any good ideas or inspiration? There were lots of very experienced "zedders' there, and surprisingly quite a few newcomers too. A good crowd overall even though the weather was less than cooperative.

Yes Scottie, it was a good time despite the dismal weather. I sold a set of Nismo floor mats and bought the club calendar. I have other stuff to sell later once I figure out everything I'm doing this year. Here's a link to my photos:

Hey Rockdog, that's my orange 240Z in your 4 pic.

I got some smokin deals! My resto starts this fall so I was looking for all kinds of stuff. Picked up a
Haynes manual,
"How to modify your Z engine" manual,
"How to restore your Z car" manual,
Used CentreForce Stage 1 clutch,
2 new door seals,
Complete jack and jack up tool kit with pouch (with 4 wheel nuts still in their plastic wrapper!),
and the 2 best hamburgers I have had this season.
Had I known Charlie Osborne was going to be there I could have saved the shipping on the floor pans.
Then, I got Monday off due to the impending storm so headed off to Cookstown Auto Wreckers and pulled a Honda Civic wiper motor and blower motor for the upgrade and found some 97 Prelude front seats that will work perfectly for the 240z. I gotta say that the Z seats look great but I can't stand them for more than 2 hrs
and then my back is killing me.
Me and the Z are still in the honeymoon phase, I buy lots of nice things for her and she just sits there and smiles.

But I met alot of good guys and got some great advice.
Hope you Z guys know how lucky you are with the pricing of Z parts, VERY reasonable compared to other marques. My last resto project was an old BMW, insane prices!

Was supposed to go. Had all my stuff loaded in the truck but then my best friend needed my help on a plumbing job. Can't turn down guaranteed cash and helping a friend.

Hi Jason,
Great pictures and great to see everyone. I met Dave from Sudbury from whom I scored a Factory Manual for the 260Z. Cover taped together but no other damage.. awesome find!
Regards Tom

The new glove box liner by Charlie Osborn was a super deal.
