I bought a kit from Harmon Brakes in Georgia. You need some specialize tools to get the booster disassembled and reassembled

Floor vent rebuild
I redid that foam on mine but decided disassembly was a bad idea. I bought some thin foam off amazon. Glued it on an closed the flap to hold it. Trimmed to fit after it cured

Wiring bellows tubing
Knowing the right search terms is the real trick. I did a first search and turned up the correct description and then searched with that. Some of those pieces look like plastic. Some look like rubber. I would prefer rubber if I could get it

1980 280zx found in Seattle CL
Looks like it could be a good basis if it's not rusty. At that discount it might be a scam though

Inspection light: hot or not?
I'm going to want power windows at some point, but would like a fairly invisible system. Atleast on the door card... I'll keep an eye out for your thread

Fuel Pump Hammer Smack
I suspect the pump was fouled by crystalized fuel. Could be rust but I doubt it. Unless it's a cheap pump. Most internals in fuel pumps are aluminum or coated in some fashion.

Modern fuel goes bad quickly, by design... You could: Drain it Dilute it or get it running and run it out, then add fresh

@Yarb Made a little progress today. I got the reverse lights fixed with the help of Yarb and my little helper was in town too. Yarb sent me a new switch he had. It's longer than the one I ordered Yarb, do you know the part number for that switch?

Modern Relay replacements for 280Z Fuel Pump Control Relay and Electronic Fuel Injection Relay?
It's tough to order things from overseas due to the recent tariff changes. Many postal services will not post to the US currently. As solution is being worked on...

08/74 260Z Project Planning: Floor Panels Before Rockers?
I agree with Namerow that there will be extensive welding required. To answer the original question: If the doors seem to fit well with decent gaps, i would weld a tube on the inside of the car down low on the door opening. Remove all the drivetrain and any other dead weight. Then replace the rockers first. Inners and outers as needed. Be sure to use the doors to ckeck fit and door gaps before welding it all up. Then do the floors next. After the rockers are done, your temporary door brace can be removed. If the doors don't fit well, the body will need to be manipulated or jacked up until they do and then weld in your temporary bracing
