Considering complete restore 1970 240z

[heyitsrama]

oh wowowowow thats a parts party right there ^^^, my favorite kind of party. ?

The brake caliper bolt is the one for who wants to restore it properly.

And is this a small dish able to be used for tension rod ? You can see the part number is different from the original. 54537-21003 is the original part number , I have 54537- 41L00 . I found I have twenty of them in my stash , too much .

These parts are going to someone who can buy a DINO 246 for me .

I removed the drivers seat today in preparation of installing new foam and seat covers.   I'm providing some pictures here looking for ideas and the proper way to rebuild the seats. This is the bottom of the seat,  lots of dry rot.  Is there a way to replace these straps like original? 

The back adjuster seems to be missing a part, or is this how it looks?  Any idea where I can get the parts to fix this? 

 

Is there a replacement part for these plastic protectors?  Or material I can make new ones out of ?  How are people doing this ? 

Things I found under the seat.

 

Where can I find one of these ? 

 

 

Additional photos.

The seat rails look like they are a military green. The grease is still in place but dried out.  The fact that the grease is still there since 1970 is interesting.  Any ideas what kind of grease this is?  It's dry nature might be natural, but I doubt it?   I'm not sure rebuilding these is something I'm going to be able to do, I may need to take them to a shop.  I'm just concerned they will throw them together and not be concerned with getting them close to correct.

There should be a  production date on it like 9 - 10 or so.See the last picture

if you want to discus a complete restoration of your car, we can do it for you.. There are so many details you have to fix! The seat bottom was a first try-out, the frame is not painted in this picture. But all materials are correct. We have about 5 original first paint cars as an example and restored about 45 S30’s.

please contact me at christoffel2369@gmail.com

I’ve decided to do the work myself. I’m going to enjoy the car long term and learn some things. Thank you.

Your welcome Sir!  

But I’m still curious if there is  a production date on your seatrails. Till now I inspected very early cars. Can you take a look? What is your VIN?

I'm not too sure if Les Cannaday is still doing restorations, but, he has done a lot of restorations in the past.  They were one of the shops to do restorations for the Nissan restoration program just before the 350z came out.  He's done some cars for celebrities in the past as well.  It looks like his website needs some work.  However, the contact info looks correct:  http://www.classicdatsun.com/contact/
