New to the Z world

[sledhead63]

I just acquired a 1977 280Z. Now the fun starts. I received the car with all the parts like headlights and such all taken off for painting purposes. I have no idea how to get these parts back in the right spot and the right way. Any help with this process would be greatly appreciated. The biggest part I am missing is the hinges to the back hatch. Having trouble locating replacements for this. Any ideas??? Thanks Lloyd

Hi, Lloyd, and welcome.

You might start by contacting zbarn.com and zsource.com. Both have a decent supply of parts you'll likely need. There are other sources, too.

Also, get yourself a FSM. That will help you tremendously in seeing how stuff goes together. And use the "search" function on this site. There is an encyclopedia of info right here. For what you can't find, of course, ask.

Wick Humble's book "How to Restore your Datsun 240Z" will be a bigger help than the FSM.
