Trans rebuild kit

It's been a while since I was on the site. Looks like all of my old private messages are gone. I sold my 58 Zodiac to a fellow in California, I'm in Md. The car carrier is coming today. The fellow who bought my car happens to be in the UK right now. I told him I had been in contact with someone in t...

IFHP, I've got a couple pics in the for sale forum. I'm going to try and get it in my buddy's garage and compound the black parts. It will shine up like a new nickel. Only thing is if I get it all shined up, I won't want to sell it. I had the money to fix the trans and get new rubbers for the front ...

58 Zodiac

I lost the storage for my Zodiac and I don't want it to sit outside. I hate it when people let nice cars rot away because they are going to restore it someday. Anyone interested take a look in the for sale forum, Joe.

OOPS, need to make some corrections. It's funny how the old brain remembers things. I took some more pics this morning and the interior is not white and green. It's more like white and brown or beige. It was the carpet that was the funny green color. And all of these colors were factory original. Th...

Wasn't quite that easy. They left out Hill and Sanders Ford, 1114 Vermont Ave, N.W. Washington D.C. Last I checked they were still in business, Joe.

Thanks for the link to ZMS. I have the orginal purchase order from Nov, 18 1957 and it shows Tutone Red/Black. I'm gonna check a local upolstery (spelling) shop on a price for the interior. A friend has a paint shop so I think I'll let him talk me into repainting it myself, with his help. The mechan...

I actually saw a Dagenham trans from an early Mustang on ebay a couple weeks ago. The high bid the last I looked was 99 cents. Only problem, it was $125 to ship from Mich to MD. The only rust is what you see on the hood, not a speck anywhere else. The carpet was a light green color and the seats wer...

Unfortunately, I think over the years of my uncle trying to get parts from Wales, he lost a couple gears. I have the case, but haven't taken the time yet to open it up to check. When he gave the car back to me several years ago he said he thought he lost them. When I gave him the car the trans was a...

Hello From MD

Hey, just found the site. I'm into cars, hunting and fishing, and thinking about retiring. What brought me here is my 58 Zodiac. I bought it in the early 70's with 14,000 miles on it. I drove it for a couple years getting the mileage up to 50K. Then a synchro went in the trans and I parked it. In 86...
