Help needed rebuilding doors, putting back windows etc.

Ok rebuild is not the word i mean but you'll get the point. I bought this 72 half ready, engine is okay but interior was screwed. I've been restoring the original plastic panels and now its time to move on to the doors.

I need to know how to install door windows properly, i have renewed window channel rubbers. I have the factory manual and How To Restore your Z car book but i still like to hear it from you guys.

I also miss some clips to hold lock cylinders on that lever that opens lock.

Door panel installing is also ahead so advice needed on that. Is there any way to remake that silver stripe on door panels?

And for the last, is there some clips also holding the window handle cranck on the place?

Lot of questions and more to come

You can get the clips for your door lock cylinders and window crank handles at Auto Zone or most other good auto parts stores. They have a "Help" section that has all sorts of misc. parts (knobs, clips, screws etc). Cheap too. Sorry, can't help ya here on the window installation or remaking the door stripe. Good Luck on on your restore!

Send me a list of what you need. I parted one out last year and have numerous parts. I have the door lock clips, but only one hand crank. Where are you located? I can help getting her all back together. I have a pair of sun visors that have mint vynl and are the brownish colour. I have a full driveline, wiring harness', decent fenders, console,glovebox door,wiper motor with transmission. as well as the factory slotted rims, that look like the rims in your picture. thanks for your time.

I have all the accessories but clips. Im located at Northern Finland, youre welcome to help me :) Windows are giving me the headache. Or should i say drivers side window.

When it's in place and i crank it up, it wont fit in place. Also, are dovetails essential for proper door function? I dont have them.

Yesterday i started to work with drivers side floor. Is there some sort factory installed sound deadening? firstly i tought that it was metal (cause it is painted same colour as the body) but after closer examination it was about 2mm thick tar mat.

And guess what i found unerneath it... Well at least there is no rust anywhere else in the car.

Blah, my driver side seatbelt retractor is busted, its missing some components from the top, where is white plastic round thing. It wont retract at all. I need to get it fixed cause i cant register it with broken seatbelts.

Suggestions?
