I'm starting to realize what I'm in for with my "new" 77 280. I'm evaluating painting the vehicle, and I'm learning that in order to do it right, I need to take everything off (trim, etc.). Is the following readily available (MSA, Restore Zone,....):

- Rubber molding around the front / rear windows

- "chrome" trim around wheel wells

What else should I be prepared to purchase (I'll be replacing the badges, I know)

More questions will immediately follow under new threads...

Most everything you will need you will be able to purchase thru MSA, VB or one of the other Z parts suppliers. However, at times you may find that some items aren't available (weatherstriping, and emblems are just a couple) from time to time. In time you should be able to find everything.

Good luck with your project. It may take time to do the job right, but with a little patience you should be able bring your car back to its old glory.

Another pending project are the seats. I'd like to install Recaros or Sparcos (sp?), or something similar. Any ideas?

I have a nice set of Recaros installed in my ride. Check it out. I should be getting the Silver Bullet 240Z out of winter sleep soon if the weather cooperates. I will post some photo's of mounting as several have asked me.
