Posted July 17, 200618 yr comment_174849 the previous owner of my Z tried to repair my upper rear panel and it won't suffice for my restoration project, so I am looking for a replacement piece for my 78. I have only found a new one on MSA for a 240 and it is more than I want to spent, but says it can work on a 280... not so sure about that. 1. Will the MSA one fit well on a 280? 2. What other places sell them? 3. Know of any good parts cars with decent one? 4. Will you give/sell me yours off your car?

July 17, 200618 yr comment_174859 Here is where I got mine for a whole lot less then you say MSA has them for. Courtesey is a good place to shop as well.

July 17, 200618 yr comment_174863 Nice try E but; they wanted 180.00 when I called on mine. Nissan's part number is 999M1-M0000./ Good luck Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/20826-upper-rear-panel-body-replacement-piece/#findComment-174863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 17, 200618 yr comment_174901 That's interesting, I copied the text directly from their site. Look under "Bits and Pieces"I wonder if "Bait and Switch" might be a better name, or if a discussion would be effective.E Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/20826-upper-rear-panel-body-replacement-piece/#findComment-174901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 17, 200618 yr comment_174914 I did the same thing and when I called to order it. They said no way Nissan wants more then 110.00 which is true. Need less to say I did not order one from them just because of the price switch.

July 17, 200618 yr comment_174922 I wound up doing the cut and weld thing for the same problem. Time consuming but it looks ok. Guess it depends on what level you're taking the restoration to.
