Hello all, Looking for some help on my door alignment. It was aligned goofy when I got the car but I figured I would get it fixed when I replaced the rocker panel. Now that I'm trying to align the new rocker panel with the door, it just isn't cooperating. <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/jepherz/Datsun?feat=embedwebsite#5625581697719456946"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ObTlnTAjVkc/ThIUv5uB1LI/AAAAAAAAA70/fgKsSkM7qPc/s144/DSC00924.jpg" height="108" width="144" /></a> <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/XPAtqkPJsU8JbO4DD94sWA?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-tyQfe48APOY/ThIU5pjPvbI/A…

I like the idea of a silver ZG with black flares, trimmings etc. Orange and also dark green with black trimming would also look nice. I've got some pics of other nice combinations below. I thought it would be good to get a thread going with a collection of nice looking ZG or ZG look colour combinations.

I've been prepping my 75 for paint and had pulled off the cowl several weeks ago, sanded the top up to 600 grit, but didn't really pay close attention to the underside. Yesterday took a close look and found (surprise, surprise) a ton of surface rust, there are 2 ?vinyl pads on it and were full of rust underneath, so today I will be treating that panel for the rust. This is just an FYI for yet another spot to check for rust on a Z.

This is going on the door and the rays will wrap around and meet under the racing stripe. I think all but the top two rays will hit the rear tire opening. AXIS POWER BABY!

I welded the fenders, shugar scoops and cowel together and made sheet metal filler panels which also got welded in. Took about a pint of marglaze, and finished with about a pint of featherite. I didnt do the metal glaze yet, that will come when the car gets stripped and painted this winter. Not a bad days work, if I do say so myself.

I have been looking for an air dam to replace the one I recently damaged on a parking bumper. It is black urethane and bolts up to the front valance panel. The Datsun/Nissan part number was/is 98300-E8100. I have attached a photo of the air dam / chin spoiler. I heard this morning that there is a company in the UK making reproductions for 180 pounds approx. (apologies; don't have the symbol for British pounds). Does anyone know what company might be producing these?

http://www.groupharrington.com/en/part/36/datsun-240z-and-260z-bumpers.html I was looking for the older style bumpers and and just said what the heck and purchased the pricey stainless steel bumpers. I found a local Z car guru that had the correct mounting brackets, and now it is time to install. I am in the procedure of installing just need the time. I sanded most of the rust of the old/new bumper mounts used some OSPHO (an acid) just for kicks on the remaining rust. Removed the old front bumper, bumper mounts, and the grill. Currently priming and painting the old/new mounts Here are some pictures

Hey everyone, I am looking to replace the trapezoid shaped panel that is located behind the front strut assembly. This is on a 72' 240z. This piece seems to be fairly important and holes have been slowly growing in both the passenger and driver's side. I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of the panel that they made to replace this piece. I have been trying for a few days to design the panel out of one piece of metal, but I cant seem to get it just right. I have also tried making a few angled cuts but im not sure if they will be strong enough. Does this panel need to be one piece (It would be easier if it was)? I have some proper thickness 5X10" rectangles cut out t…

I'm not even exactly sure what the point of installing the outer weatherstrip on the hatch is for. I've got the 3 piece kit that came from black dragon, which apparently only fits by placing the flat edge in the channel, since that was the way it was molded and any other variation I tried with placing it over the lip did not fit. None of it contacts the hatch lid when closed, so I could have left it off and not even bothered. I didn't realize that it wouldn't make any contact, as I had installed the outer sections while the hatch was off. It's like its not even for the same car. I did quite a bit of searches trying to find others with experience and pics on this particul…
