   MSA sill dogleg

   This is a query to Ben In Adelaide. In one of his photo posts he has shown a pic of a new sill dogleg being welded into his fathers car. Was this piece sourced from MSA in the states or was it made in AUS. I live in Sydney and have a need for the same piece for my 74 260 which is fairly rust free except for those sections and the bottom of the drivers door. Any help would be appreciated. geoff

   I want to keep the original rims on my 82' but the rims have got really corroded over time. I know that the metal is a softer metal and I don’t want to eat right through them with a big wire brush… What is the answer? Would a wire brush do ok? As well, if I was to take off the first layer is there a product I should use to add a finish to the? thanx

   Does anyone know where I could get the European Tail Light assemblies for a 73 240Z? Motorsport does NOT have them any longer. These are the ones that have an amber colored lense for the turn signal. Many thanks

   ok, so i'd like to know what you guys recommend for rust removal, i'm cleaning out the battery well, and while i can get a lot of the rust out with sand paper/scotch brite, but under where the battery sits is really bad, and i have no way of getting to it. i've heard of "Naval Jelly", how does that work? Thanks a lot, after its all clean, i plan to just spray it with some rustoleum, any thing i should do in addition to this?

    Seats for '71 240z

    Can anyone tell me if the seats in the picture will fit a 1971 240z. I understand that I may need to make some adjustments but am crossing my fingers that the actual seat will fit in the seat bay area. Hopefully you can read all the dimensions. Much appreciated.

    incomplete grill

    February 27, 2002 by car_dumi

    This may be a stupid comment but doesn't it look as though they grill stops when it should keep going? Is this maybe just the year of the car or do they all have it. Is there someplace that sells an extension or replacement? has this been noticed by others or is it just me? I want to take the bumper off but don't think it would look right without a full grill.
