Hi All

Had my Z for about 20yrs years now, it's a 1990's US import, Green/Yellow Z1A colours and 1974 on the V5 but based on the frame/engine numbers I'm thinking it's actually a Z1B. (Will be double-checking this).

I've got a lot of work planned over the next few months and a lot of parts to find, so I'll be back here from time to time looking for advice, parts, & recommendations!

OK, fair comment! I'm currently replacing some electrics, so it's a bit stripped down in the garage at the moment. But here's a piccie of when I bought it back in '98, just after it was imported. Just have to decide how much I'm going to do to it; not a big fan of the 16" rear, or the battered 4:1, and now I know it's a Z1B I'm starting to rethink the colour scheme!
