Hey guys,

New to the board and to Z cars. My future father in law and I just bought a 72 240Z to bring it back to life. Is there a good source for replacement floor pans or do you have to make them?

Any information would be great. I must say that this looks like a nice message board with tons of info/data. Well, got to go start the tear down!

Welcome. Lots of help available here. So much so, that it's worth learning to use the search feature to find answers to common topics like this.

Best buy on floor pans is at Zedd Findings in Canada.

Search the archives for ZedFindings/Charley Osborne-he has the best avaiable at the best price, you will be more than satisfied.

Other venders sell what he has and mark them up. Go directly to the horses mouth!

Welcome to the club!

You'll find much information available to you that's been written by many members going back several years. For that you'll need to use the "Search" feature, there's both simple and advanced.

Look in the very center of the blue band just above the chalk drawing of the Z and you'll see it.

The Feature is quite advanced and allows you to combine words into phrases or for individual value.

Here's the search for "Floor Pan", which yielded 219 posts:

Here's the search for "Replacing Floor Pan" which yielded only 20:

Not trying to give you the bum's rush, but trying to help you with the TONS of information we've managed to compile here. If you started reading today, and did nothing but read, you'd still be here in a couple of years.

So, don't think of this as a rude brush-off, rather, think of it as a helpful insight into the wealth located here.

By the way, Charlie Osborne is where you want to go; his web-site is:

You can try many things, or even think you can buy them cheaper elsewhere, but you will find that the majority of Z owners will refer you to him right away when it comes to floor pans. In fact, he sells them to the major re-sellers.

FWIW

Will, make that 3.

I need to replace my support rails, at first I was going to find someone to weld up some supports but couldn't find anyone willing to touch frame work. Maybe with actual replacement parts...and for that price, my goodness, life is good...

Check out my offroad z photos to see what I mean:cry:

bad PO:finger:

http://zspecialties.vstore.ca/ You can try them. They have floors but they aren't as detailed as zeddfindings.

Thanks guys,

The search option slipped my mind. The last couple of forums I joined had a horrible search engine. Its great to know this one actualy works! I'll research the pans, thanks for the links. We spent the last couple of hours breaking bolts! We are going to order bushings and I need to research coil-overs. I would like to start from the ground and work my way up.

I did a quick sketch of what the car will look like when its all said and done. I can post it if anyone wants to check it out/give feedback.

Thanks again for the help.

I can't believe that you type slower than I do, Will! I didn't think that was possible!

of course we want to see your sketches (and pics, too)!

I can't believe that you type slower than I do, Will! I didn't think that was possible!

I had gone to do what Enrique did, but had a wee service interruption(wireless connections don't like VW bugs with hopped up ignitions)-but I don't type all that fast either.
