The spare tire well and the driver and passenger floors have been painted with a THICK black paint. I am guessing to prevent rust. It worked, they are rock solid. The rest of the inside was black as well, but much thinner, almost like a latex. I removed it today. It came off very easily. Under it, and in the small out of the way places, is 920 gold. I am betting it is the original color. :classic: One problem down.

I filled out the registry on Zhome, but it has not posted on the list yet. It does show my car on the list of VIN #'s found so far, just not the one with my information as well. I am trying to figure out which color is original on my car. There have been at least 4 paint jobs, some better than others. You would think the bottom color under the rest is original, except the bottom color on the inside, outside, and in the engine bay are 3 different colors. That is why I said a original color, instead of the original color. I will get everything else back to original eventually, and now I still need a late 240 or 260 to modify!

Hello. My name is Curtis Meeks and I am a new member from Hampton, Virginia. I was originally looking for a later 240Z or a 260Z to swap an L28ET into. I watched the ads in the local papers, and looked at a few, and then a couple of months ago I went to check one out that ended up being #HLS30 00439. It was under a tarp in a family's back yard. It had been the son's car until it 1st and 2nd gear stopped working. It was nowhere near original, except the motor and trans, but the price was pretty low, and I just could not let it sit there and rot, or get purchased as a parts car, so I called my buddy that owns a wrecker and took it home. The rust is pretty mild, just surface spots that are coming out easily after treating them and sandblasting the pits down to the metal. I am still open to suggestions on the color, but I am leaning toward the original colors, probably the green or silver. I have already learned quite a bit reading through the old threads, and this will be the first place I ask for help as I run into problems. Thanks for putting up a great site with such a friendly and knowledgeable membership.
