Was the outside rear view mirror on the '76 280z 2+2 the same color as the rear panel? This appears to have been the case for my faded mirror housing.

I've got the engine running really well on my 76 2+2 and now I'm starting to work on the body. I've got a bad lower door on the driver's side (rusty). Does anyone know where I can order a lower door skin for the 2+2? I see Long Motors and others sell doors skins for the coupe, but not the 2+2 which I believe is a little longer. Unless I bought 2 and somehow spliced them together to get the correct fit? Or am I stuck with fabricating a custom patch or looking to buying a used 2+2 door somewhere/ Thanks Gary

My "free" 240Z ('72) did not come with a hood although the hood hinges were still on the car. I found a nice used hood for a reasonable price and it bolted right up. Unfortunately the front is too high by about 3/8 inch compared to the headlight buckets. I found a lot of advice on the forum on how to address this, but first I need to figure out how to align the hood left to right. It appears to be just barely hitting a bolt on the drivers side which I am sure may be contributing to the height problem. Any advice on this? Thanks so much, Gary

The rainy season is starting here in northern California and I would like to protect my shell as much as possible. I have been told by a few that a good and semi cheap way was to protect my car. I was looking for everyone's/anyone's input

well after a none starter with some others I've got some floor rails, went for 1.5mm over the standard 1.2, over length too. Best bit was paying £25 for the pair, If I had a few sets made it drops to £18. The top hat bend is a 100% perfect match for the originals. Only issue is matching the factory formed end, now I did create a couple of bends to match but they didn't look like the original ones Option 1: While recovering from smacking my thumb I thought about cutting the end off the original rails and butt welding them onto the new ones, does this sound like a decent idea? I can't see what issues it'll cause(except the slight stepdown in thickness). and have them …

Im currently having 350z coloured 240z as you can see from the pictures, original colour was the lime green. A17 is the code. BUT the engine bay is still original and due lack of money i have to prepare and paint it myself. Im just curious what do you think... should i paint it with matte orange or what? Dudes here say that pearlescent paint is PITA to paint and not recommended to beginners. I have never ever spray painted before, only rattle can painted. :ogre: Im not doing concours restoration on my zee so it does not have to be uber bling.
