Everyone thank you for your posts! It was helpful and I actually did in fact buy my first Z! It is an early '71 240z thus this is why it has the vents in the rear. The Z runs, but it definitely needs work. It has rust in the typical places just behind the drivers side front wheel. Isn't too bad there but there is some rust. I noticed when I brought the Z home that there is a small hole just underneath the passenger seat. I was saying oh great! Any advice you guys have with rust on floor boards? The rust is just in one area, but it is there. I have heard about a paint or product called POR 15, but not sure if that would be good since I already have a hole in the floor board. Do you guys recommend cutting out the small area of rust and patching it up, weld a new small area or replace the floor panel? Are there floor panel kits you can buy for either side of the floor board ( passenger / driver )? And what are the costs? What are your thoughts on this? If you guys had this rust issue on your Z what would be your first step and steps after that? Your suggestions are valued and very much appreciated! I will send photos soon of my progress! Look forward to hearing your comments and or suggestions. Oh by the way does anyone know how many '71 240z's were produced and how many "Series 1" '71 240z's were produced as well? Regards!
