St.stephen Posted January 12, 2004 Share #13 Posted January 12, 2004 Nice shot Kmack actually I'm lucky this thing isn't near me or I'd be taking it off your hands for sure. The hardest rust repair I see on that one is the hatch area to the right. That gaping hole is a challenge to patch together. Honestly, I love all the rust buckets you guys are afraid to touch!!! I enjoy welding quite a bit so patching some rust spots is no bother to me. The one thing though that would steer me clear is when the inner fender wells go and the entire firewall/battery well area is completely disintigrated. Maybe I should post my pics of what real rustbucket is :sleepy: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9595-73-240z/?page=2#findComment-63874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmack Posted January 12, 2004 Share #14 Posted January 12, 2004 I was waiting to see how long it'd take you to find my comment. Btw, I had to patch that area of the hatch sill on my car, right side to be exact. Actually it was the structure of the car underneath the hatch sill plate that rusted out. A little tough to do, but not impossible. And the area under the battery on my car was "perforated" but not completely gone. Although it was bad enough that the frame rail directly under the battery had cracked! :surprised Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9595-73-240z/?page=2#findComment-63879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.stephen Posted January 12, 2004 Share #15 Posted January 12, 2004 I cut the battery area completely out of the 76 I am working on and grafted another in from a donor car. Theres pics in my gallery of the repair. Not bad, I still have the final grinding of the welds to take care of as well seal it all up and rustproof it. The scary thing is that my live in GF has since moved out and I am in the house alone with no cap on how many Z cars I can have without getting the business from the woman.

St.stephen Posted January 12, 2004 Share #17 Posted January 12, 2004 I've got to get rid of one, before I obtain another . Currently I am down to three. Early 74 260 76 280 78 280 2+2 However the motor, trans, harness, majority of interior, rear, some body stuff is being transferred to the 76 and then part out the rest. the one thing keeping me from purchasing it though is that you are in TX and I'm in jersey. Theres some safety in mileage! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9595-73-240z/?page=2#findComment-63916 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony of it all.....I replaced my battery area, portion of the firewall, and the upper unibody and lower frame rail (from the strut tower to the fire wall) from a '76! :cross-eye I'll have to try and find the old section I removed from my car and send you a picture of it. You'd be so proud! It's in my back yard in the small junk pile folded up flat, the metal was that thin!

texasz Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share #19 Posted January 22, 2004 Ok, no takers on the whole car so I'm going to part it out. Name your part and your price and I'll let you know if it's available, what condition it's in, pix if possible, etc. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9595-73-240z/?page=2#findComment-65392 Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasz Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share #21 Posted January 22, 2004 Originally posted by St.stephen Does the car still have the diamond vinyl interior in black?? Some of it is. What piece(s) do you need? Please see the pix, they show a little of the car.

St.stephen Posted January 22, 2004 Share #22 Posted January 22, 2004 The strut tower vinyl looks to be in good shape....do you have the transtunnel vinyl in good shape? I'd also be interested in the steering wheel. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9595-73-240z/?page=2#findComment-65400 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is so, what shape are they in? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9595-73-240z/?page=2#findComment-65401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasz Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share #24 Posted January 26, 2004 St.stephen,Strut tower vinyl is not very good, driver's side has a rip and passenger side has a couple nicks. The trans tunnel vinyl is gone, the PO must have kept it. The stearing wheel is worn and needs restoration, it has one cut in it. See pix of all.MikeW,The hatch interior plastic is OLD, both the pieces around the 1/4 windows are cracked and probably not of any interest, the ones behind them seem to be ok, the one on the rear (tail light area) is missing as is the one on the hatch. See above for diamond vinyl description.I did find some misc diamond vinyl pieces in the car, see pix.Here's a link to pix of the parts you have asked about as well as parts that others have asked about: http://www.pape.ws/gallery/Parts_People_Has_Asked_About Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9595-73-240z/?page=2#findComment-65903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
