Well i got a few pics. I am debating wether to fix the old one or buy a new one. I dont think it is too far from repair but a new(good used) one would be much more practical)and more money).i can do some body work but money is tight and everything like that so i think will attempt to beat and bog the old one. here are a few pics of my progress. i hope you enjoy. its not as hard as it looks but dirty as HELL.

I have a 79 280zx, and two parts cars, a 79 and an 82. I took both front bumpers off the 79's figuring I could make one good one out of two, but after I took them apart I realized they are both shot. Will the front and rear plastic bumpers off of my 82 fit on to my 79? What modifications would I need to make them work? If not where can I get a front bumper for the 79? THANKS

I looked through the forums couldn't find a answer. I'm about to send a hood support rod out for replating for a early 74 260z , from what I can tell Zinc/Yellow Chromate appears to be the original finish. I can't tell how the attaching screw were finished. Does anyone know how they were originally finished? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim 260Z - RLS30-020697 (01/74)

A while back, my car came out of gear and rolled into my neighbors house. I have surveyed the damage and decided something major needs to be done. I have talked to a few poeple about it, and some say I need a quarter pannel, and some say i can bring those dents out. But i dont really know what i should do. Can someone give me some advice? I am handy with tools and grinders so if it can be done i will do it. i just want to know what to do. thanks. im trying to put on a few pics

Hi everyone I came across this thread at HybridZ about painting with a paint roller. It's very interesting, and worth a read. I thought maybe some people on this forum might appreciate the information. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=107977 Thanks Ahmed

I am constantly poring over parts catalogs looking for any missing pieces to make my 70/71Z as complete and original as possible. I grabbed my new Black Dragon catalog and saw something I hadn't noticed before. Take a look at page 24 in the Rear Bumper section for 70-73 240Z's. Part #'s are 98-052 and 98-053. They look like rubber pieces that slide under the ends of the rear bumper. I have been all over looking for pictures of 240Z's and can't find any with such a part. What are these things and are they and original part? Thanks....

I was wondering if the headlight surrounding on a '74.5 260z is interchangable with the later model s130 280zx. I believe the later model ZX changed from a metal surround to a plastic. Should that make a difference in the way it fits?

I'm starting this thread as a record of the cost of bodywork on your Z. When replying, please try to include: 1. The nature of the job (eg baremetal with significant rust removal?, minor touchup?, colour change?, engine bay included or not?, interior and exterior?) 2. The date 3. Your country and currency (eg US$, AU$, GBP, PESOS...) 4. Your decision - did you get the work done or not? (5. try to be honest!)

I have a lovely 1972 240z that is painted 918 Orange. I am in the midst of a refreshening, so as I take off certain pieces I intend to paint them for both aesthetic appearance and corrosion protection. Any suggestions as to an overall paint scheme?
