body help!!

some dumbass backed into my 76 280z and was wondering what years the body parts are interchangeable...ive heard that 77-78 body parts wont quite fit....will 260/40 parts fit??

oh, its the drivers side fender and both doors that i need.

Doors '76-'78 because of the lock mechanisms

Fenders '70-'78

Any door 70 -78 will fit, you only have to change the mechanisims.

I have a 77 door on my 72 and it works great, but it did take alot of work to do it.

If i would have known how much work it was going to take tochange em, I would have found a 240 door to save the trouble.

Stick with doors from the 76 - 78 models.

If you search the forums there is a thread somewhere that mentions that the early doors are different from the later doors. My Driver's door isn't original, and while it closes ok, the lower rear edge sticks out...

There is a subtle difference in the shape of the body on the later cars from the early ones... I think the later cars are longer perhaps?
