280zx 1979 2+2 slick roof restauration

[Reptoid Overlords]

If no one knows off hand by this afternoon, I can pull a rear wheel off of my '82 parts car and the '80 running car and compare what's on there. It'll be a good bit later in the day though.

 

I'd be willing to bet someone knows and responds before then.

I wouldn't  bet...   Thanks for the reply, but don't bother, if the old brakedisk does not fit , it's simple, i have to get me a new set!

Here some pic's from the "old" suspension-arm, it clearly did not have any anti-rust treatment.

Did you ever find a suitable set of bushings?

The few bushings i need are in my cellar!  my suspension bushings are (see Pic's above.. ) in good condition, also are the new suspension arm bushings..

What i liked was... nothing here needed welding.. some examples from bare metal.

Here also no need al original..

No welding..

 

One little spot weld around the end of window.. (not in this pic..)

 

no welds needed..

 

a small weld was needed in the lower edge.

Some pic's of base coatings..

Here some pic's of the restauration of the front bumper (euro style!)  there were 15-20 very small dents in the chrome (rvs) part, but after 3 afternoons of hard work, hammering and polishing the chrome part and assembling it again it came out very nice..  (a hood of a 240z which needs new paintjob anyway is a good place to make some pictures on...)
