Dropped the Z off to get new fenders installed. Now with the garage space empty, I find evidence that the rear differential bushing it toast. Wonder if I can manage to get extended warranty to cover whiteline bushings.

They also sell a UV protective coating for after cleaning which is good to use on new lens to protect them also.

Holy crap. I wonder how good the cable in my 240 is...

I could have gotten to it without cutting the hood, but would of had to take my downpipe and exhaust off some how. I couldn't reach it from underneath. The hood on the car today has collected One Great Dane, and One Deer (thought that one was going to be in the front seat with me). So it was junk anyway. I have a new one I bought back in 2010. So I just said F it. Now the challenge is finding a new hood release cable.

My friend brought me back some souvenirs from his trip to Japan. Don't know where he got them but I probably won't be installing the Arc radiator cap because i believe its not the right pressure or something...

Z is in storage until April. Probably feeling out of place in a sea of Moostangs and Vettes. Oh, and a Hellcat.
