Cheers guys!
I have, I want genuine Watanabes and Im determined to get some and not run replicas!
Engine wise I want to keep it straight six so I have the original L26 with a lumpy cam and some big carbs to go in. I might look at going L28 in the future.
Ive picked up a second shell which is much rougher than mine was when I first got it so Im looking at maybe engine swapping that one!

Have you got Door Mirrors or front Wing Mirrors? Can't see the images while replying
Having 2 Classic Z cars, one a classic restoration running correct wheels, tires, styling and engine would be great and another with a modern engine swap (preferably still a japanese engine) modern styled wheels (They're so cliche but I love Volk TE37's), modern brakes & suspension to handle any increased power from the new engine and maybe some body modifications like arch extensions, rear window louvres and the lower front splitter/bumper addon if you're interested in that kind of thing would be perfect.
