Just what the Doctor ordered. 1977 280z
I don't really know what the process would look like. Are the rubbers that are being used to reproduce other NLA parts suitable for this application? If a suitable product is available, the molds are relatively small but a good part would be needed for making the molds

HLS30-00640 Up for Auction on eBay
Totally agree. I am not sure the car would survive the trip in one piece onto and off of the trailer. It's a shame, but when the outside looks that bad, then all the sheet metal is thin and badly corroded in the concealed spaces. You would have to have two donor cars to come up with enough panels to salvage this one. And you would basically have to take the car almost all the way apart to do it.

Could be, I think he over estimates the value of "what he's got..."

Too bad. I know what he's got too. And lot's of it! Rust... and a title... This where the problem really lies. Not very much car there to work with but the value is in the VIN

It's a shame we can't find a vendor to reproduce these. Might need a core charge for the washers, but still..

Front / Rear Control Arms
The urethane is harsher too and ride quality can suffer. A G35 has a much more refined suspension and is much quieter overall

Ok, so now they're just being silly. The car is a total loss! Not enough in parts to justify that price.

Lower steering shaft u-joint
Off of memory, you disconnect the rag joint. Take the bolt out at the lower end and pull it off the rack. That last part is usually harder than it sounds.

71 at Copart in Arlington WA
This one runs tomorrow https://www.copart.com/lot/38427609 I saw it when it was in Mass, which is where the title is from. Look at the big holes int he doors and rockers. You know there is more of that! $4,600 already!

71 at Copart in Arlington WA
I thought I would tag on here instead of creating a new thread. I watched a 71 240z roll through Copart today. It had a Florida title and was probably really rusty. It went through for $4,550! plus fees (maybe another 20%). It sold to Poland. So it has to be shipped to Europe on top of that!! Amazing...

Franklin Mint Z
So it has some damage history. That makes the numbers even more interesting

Whining sound when lights on
I agree the voltage numbers look pretty good. Someone else could probably chime in but the voltage going down, might just be the charge leveling out in the battery. Not my specialty. Since the voltages are good and it doesn't appear the alternator is being worked overly hard, then I would suspect the noise is from the alternator, but it does appear to be working properly.

You're through paint, which is the hard part. Maybe it will get easier from here. Did you find new crenelated mustache bar washers somewhere?

Replacement Door Plate
The plates in the door jamb are riveted. The one on the shock tower uses small screws. I think its best if they go back this way. PM an address and I will drop you some
