[AaronP]

Hey guys just wanting to find out if any one has a drivers side quarter panel cut or full quarter panel as my door slam is rather mangled from the accident it was in.

Cheers

Aaron needs the inner section (as well as the outer section).

 

Currently trying to get in contact with this seller..

Craigslist is always sketchy however...

Do you have a picture of the part you need? I may have it on a 73 parts car. The only drawback is it's in the US.

You have a 73 parts car? I am after the left hand inner guard where a RHD battery tray would normally be welded to

[AaronP]

These are what he sent to me a few months back...

 

[72240Z]

Yes that's it.The valence is rusty but you said you would consider anything.The door frame and inner panel look good but the dog leg is rusty. How much do you need? I'll try to get some pictures if your interested.

[kamarchi]

definitely interested

 

pictures please :-) 

[72240Z]

Sorry I looked at the wrong drivers side. I will have to look at that side tomorrow. 

[72240Z]

Is that your car in the picture?

Here is a few more pictures of Aaron's car.

Hmmm it's better and worse than the 1 I'm repairing at the moment...

My problem is I'm a perfectionist, so not entirely happy with my repairs so far.

 

Any chance you could send more photos of the lower section? Just wondering how bad it is? Looks like a few holes in it from rust?

[72240Z]

Gavin I think most of the rust is where the bumper mounts on both sides, and the slam panel and two small spots under the slam. The bottom is covered in bog but doesn't look rusty. It doesn't look as bad as the one you have been working on but you never know what you have till you get the parts off. I had been watching your repair progress and was thinking about trying to fix this panel when I have more time.

[gav240z]

Fair enough, sounds like it's just as bad as mine then! I would have been more careful removing mine if I thought I was gonna get stuck repairing it.. lesson learnt.

[72240Z]

Gavin the panel is junk, I went out to the country where the car is to get so pictures and saw a crack in the bog so I peeled it off and there is no metal under it so the whole bottom is junk. The US passenger side door slam, and inner panel is not as nice as the other side but may be usable. The front battery area is good.  

[AaronP]

thank you for having a look mate its appreciated, but i have decided to give it a go and see if i can straighten my current one up.

[72240Z]

Tabco makes rockers and rear wheel archs that fit well.       https://tabcoparts.com/cars/datsun/240z-260z-280z-1970-1978.html

Good Luck It doesn't look to rusty and looks like it is well worth fixing.

Re: rear slam panel thanks.

 

I know osmeone after the battery tray area (opposite side to US cars). That section.

 

I may also be interested in a cut out of the firewall. It's not a huge section and I could probably fabricate it, but if it's not too much hassle I can show you what I need.

 

Looks like the roof is gone. I'm guessing there isn't much left that's of use?

 

Just thinking if it's a carcass may as well pick the bones dry. ?

[72240Z]

The roof is off and good. I still have it. I bought the car for the firewall to repair my car. The battery tray looks good but may  have rust in the seam I won't know until I remove it. I was going to try to use most of the firewall but have backed off that idea and will only be using parts of it. What part do you need?

 

[kamarchi]

I am after the left hand side inner guard where the battery tray would be attached in a RHD car.

 

Can i get some pictures of that area less the leaves?

 

Thanks

[gilltech]

Most unusual roof lining...

[72240Z]

It may be a few days before I can get any more pictures, Gavin what part of the firewall do you need? gilltech I have never seen one like it either, it may not be factory.
