I've decided to go with white interior on my white 72 Z. I'm thinking white everything.... even the dash and console.... whiteface guages....carpet may be grey... total albino. I'll keep my black 240Z decal. This car will not be a daily driver and won't see rain here in AZ. I have western wheels - like centerlines but with holes in them. See if I can get a personal plate ALBINOZ. Whadya think? You stock purists (of which I am one) chill... my 70 will be bone stock.

I got all the tar off the floors of my z and the metal looks good. I used chemical paint stripper to get the glue off the trans tunnel and all the crap off the firewall along with the paint. Then I wiped it down with mineral spirits. Now it has been sitting bare for a few days. What does flash rust look like? The metal on my car doenst apper to be rusting from sitting bare like many ppl say it will. Is this something I should worry about? Im not ready to spray with primer yet, still gotta run the 220 to the garage for the compressor. Should i get a krylon primer and just spray over those bare areas as a temp solution to hold off the rust till im ready to put down the real…

I know this sounds backwards, but I am considering reinstalling the correct bumpers 0n the '76 2+2. The ones on the car now are supposedly from a 240 and I like the look, but they are a little banged up. Is there anyone that has 280z bumpers laying around that would be willing to part with them at a reasonable price? As a bonus(?) I might be willing to trade the 240z bumpers (if that is what they are). You can see what they look like in my gallery. Gary

I have posted (in my gallery) some pictures of my 280 z I am about to start ripping into. I was wondering if any of you body guy could give me an opinion on weather I sould replace the front fenders or have the lower part replaced. I know there is no way to tell for sure from a picture .. just your best take on it. The pictures will be up as soon as they pass the guard .. haha Thanks ..Bruce

Who makes the best replacements for front fenders? I think I will need to replace the two fronts on my 77 280 and I would like to hear the good and bad of fitting new fenders. Also .. what do you guys think of fiber fenders? Do we all prefer metal ? Thanks ..Bruce

Read the thread about the slow wiper fix, however, mine on the '72 is completely stripped on the driver's side. Is this repairable? or do I need to find another assembly somewhere and replace. Thanks in advance, Shawn

I am in the process of paying my mom back for a sander I bought. It is a Snap On 8' inch Random Orbit air sander. So my question is, is there any better way or sander to get rid of rust? Also what color of primer should I use. P.S. If this is a stupid question let me now. ( I'm learning.)

I've decided to remove the doors on my 240 for clean up and paint. Just thought I'd ask before I start if there is something I shouldn't do, such as don't remove the hinge from the door, or don't remove the hinge from the body.... any disaster prevention tips would be welcome, on door removal that is Thanks in advance!
