View Advert Hood Hinge area metal needed 280z My drivers side hood hinge area has rusted through. I am hoping to find some sheet metal from a donor car to help replace this area. Advertiser DR280z Date 03/11/2019 Price Category Parts Wanted Year 1978 Model 280z

I like the scanning and printing idea. I looked at the zedd tags and they dont look quite the same as the originals. I think I would be better off just leaving it as is. If I unscrew the plate and mess with it, it looks more like it was tampered with.

I never thought of that! Good call. I looked at an original tag and that is exactly where the vin is engraved. I think that is the answer. Thanks

The car was originally white. I just painted it light metallic blue and have not gotten to painting the engine bay. The vin on the engine tag and the vin on the firewall, dash and door jam all match up.

My 280z has an engine bay id tag that I have never seen in any other 1978. The tag has the vin# of the car stamped into it and nothing else. The dash vin #, firewall and door jam all match. Late 78's did not have the engine #'s on the engine bay tag but again, never have seen one that just has the vin stamped on it and nothing else. Anybody know why this car has this?
