LIST OF DEFECTS ITEMS I JUST RAN OUT OF TIME TO FIX

·The new weather stripping needs to be re-glued in certain areas such as the doors

·Small (penny size) rust hole below the batter mount (common problem with Z’s) coated with POR-15 but never got it to the shop

·Front left side fiberglass bumper needs to be re-glued to the bracket

·Rear deck cover needs to be reinstalled

·Brakes squeal especially when warm (Common Z problem)

·Paint chip on passenger door and clear coat peel on driver side door

·Passenger door lock not working

·Speedometer is 10 miles too fast…but who cares when you are cursing with the windows down listening to the engine roar!

·Tachometer does not work

·Clock does not work

·Driver side lock works, but need to lift handle as you turn the key to unlock

·Power mirror switch is located on left side by the hood release handle.Up is Down and Down is Up when adjusting.This due to flipping the switch from the console area to this location

·Choke has been moved from console to bottom left side of the clutch (like old style high beam switch).Just pull it out with your toe before you start…let her warm up for a few minutes and push back in with your foot.

·Turn signal works, but sometimes you have to hold down in order to engage.I am including a new (used one) hopefully it works better
