We pulled these off of a car in a salvage yard. About a third of the rim was buried in the mud. I cleaned, sanded and repainted them. These are going on our 240 even though they are not the original style.

The hatch needs to be adjusted since I replaced the rubber seal and weather-strip. The vents on the hatch designate this as an early 240Z.

I've already cleaned the tail lights and replaced the rubber seals. The panel was cleaned and repainted a flat black and reinstalled.

It isn't a long rust hole but it does go deep into the body.

Same hole, different view. It hasn't affected the frame...yet.

Worst rust damage on this car. This whole area was rebuilt with bondo when we got the car.

Driver's side rear. Doesn't seem too bad but...

This was rebuilt with bondo after it was apparently hit. The holes are where the pins (?) were used in an attempt to pull the dent.

This is the trailing edge of the front fender and the leading edge of the driver's door. Since the holes are not big the rust will be cut out and then patched.

The rust got a better hold on the passenger side under the seat support. This will be tougher to cut and patch.

Driver's side smallish rust holes. Cut, patch and prime, again.

These rust holes are on the driver's side. These will be cut out and then patched and primed. This side doesn't have as much rust as the passenger side.

The rust has been cut from the passenger side floor pan already. The hole on the right was from the battery and just above that there was a large dent that protruded into the car. The best we can tell, the car was bottomed out at one time.

I've painted the edges of the inside of the doors with black paint just in case there are gaps when I reinstall the door panels.

I've painted the inside of the hatch area a flat black. This way, if the vinyl doesn't refit exactly, the gaps won't show as much.

These were covered with white spray paint, also. I just need to redo the chrome trim now.

I used tape to hold the weather-strip in place as I worked my way around the hatch.

I got rid of the white spray paint that covered the vinyl and the hard plastic trim panels, refreshed the trim panels and reattached everything.
