srj67 Posted April 22, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 22, 2011 I am starting to retore a '76 280z with my daughter and have a couple of questions:1. Where can I buy a floorboard panel to go under the driver's side seat without having to buy the whole floorboard kit? I only have 1 spot of rust under the driver's seat and would like to buy a formed piece if possible - but not the whole kit.2. Anyone ever do a roof replacement? I have a sunroof that I would like to do away with. Any experiences would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajmcforester Posted April 22, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 22, 2011 You could get a patch, their is a salvage yard in Erie (not the one on I-25) that only does Japanese cars they might be able to help. If you get luck enough to go in the yard and you know your Japanese cars you are in for a treat. They have 6 Toyota 2000GT, 9 mid 70's Cosmo's, 2-3 mid 60's Honda's, and more. Atleast they did 6-7 year a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srj67 Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted April 23, 2011 Yeah, did a search right AFTER the post - not too bright I guess. I found the Arne, that is definitely the way to go. I also have the guy I bought the z from for parts - he said a clean donor roof will be $80.00. Now all I need is the driver's side rear floor board patch...

Arne Posted April 24, 2011 Share #8 Posted April 24, 2011 I found the Arne, that is definitely the way to go.Speaking from the perspective of three years later, yes, it was the right way to go. No issues at all. I love having a slick-top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
