SPT260

View Advert '74 260-'78 280Z I am currently restoring my beloved '74 260Z, in Australia. My biggest problem is that owing to the extensive collision damage to the rear chassis, I find myself in a position where it is going to be far, far more cost effective for me to unpick the complete rear section at the original welds and replace it with suitable donor rear end. Thus, I am looking for a suitable rust free donor rear section, or complete vehicle to ship to Australia. This could be half cut (well in front of the 'dog leg') shell, complete shell, plus or minus running gear. Looking for any leads on said vehicle. Could be front end collision victim, or what ever. Can anyone be of any assistance at all? Advertiser SPT260 Date 07/22/2021 Price Category Cars Wanted Year 1978 Model 260Z - 280

I am reverting to type (I'm an Interior Designer), and using my knowledge and experience, to produce bespoke Carpet Kits in the very near future. This all came about with dissatisfaction with the shiny nylon loop pile fabrics currently available. These carpet sets will be high quality, European & Australian made, Woven 'Wilton' & 'Axminster' (not tufted or needle punch) carpets in plain colour cut piles, and 'Brussels Weave' (level loop) piles, with colour matched, leather bound edges. These are the types of carpet you would have found in high end, luxury vintage and classic vehicles through to the late 1960's, until it was cheaper and easier to produce the shiny nylon fabrics that we are all familiar with. Now, I know this isn't for everyone, and will upset the purists, striving for originality, but more for those who want to lift the overall quality, looks and feel of their vehicles interior. Much like fitting an all leather covering to their seats. No, not original, but way more luxurious and aesthetically pleasing, when done correctly. I am currently templating from factory complete carpets for exact fit, and will initially be making to order, with a view to stocking sets in factory colours and some other variations, similar to those one might found in MZR Roadsports vehicles (https://mzrroadsports.co.uk/) I'll also do a transmission tunnel & upstand behind seats, as an option for those would like it. I'm also looking at making high density recycled PET underlay sets, to replace the original hair felt underlay. This type of PET material in now used as backing for carpet tiles and has a less than 1% moisture absorbance and Noise Reduction value of 0.25. Next on my agenda are fine (thin) leather covering kits for the hard plastic trims, and leather replacements for the soft vinyl trims, found through out. I'll post pictures and information in the Resourses Links area as these products develop.
