Oliphips Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Hi all finally got the z home time to catalog everything and start rust repair of which there’s a bit. Floors, firewall and chassis rails are clean most rust seems to be in the tailgate hinge section and the rear quarters(lucky I have a shell to cut from) pa the shell is a cut and shut so no good to use for anything. Looking forward to this. Edited August 10, 2021 by Oliphips 240ZBUILTBYME 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240ZBUILTBYME Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Somewhere on the inter web someone has the 240z fastener breakdowns (most should transfer to the 260z I assume?) , item by item, with photos and measurements. I think it’s in a spreadsheet? So you may be able to use that to sort your bags of nuts and bolts. Don’t know how well the previous owner organized and labeled. from my sketchy memory it was on classiczcars.com?

Oliphips Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 After a busy weekend of sorting parts i documented the rust {dont know why lol} this is a selection of what i found, luchky ive got a shell to take cuts from. The entire rear roof frame needs to be replaced along with both quarters. Oh well its all fixable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators gav240z Posted August 17, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 17, 2021 I'm guessing seat belt detectors.. what year is your car? Late 76/77? I know US market had the seat belt warning/detectors, not sure with our market. Never seen a working set. Oliphips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does my head in. AU market 240z's didn't have any seat belt warnings. US market did, it's 1 of those blanking plates in the centre console of the fuse cover (72/73 model consoles). Or put another way, why our fuse covers had nothing in them. Might have been a federal mandated thing in the US to comply with. We got it much later in 260z's, like a lot of things.. probably as our own ADRs caught up. Millerman and Oliphips 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliphips Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 have discovered a bit about the original colour, apparently it was a one year deal and it will look great with black chrome. gilltech 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunawaySloth Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Hope your resto is going well. I've got a 76' 260 2+2 with an auto which I've had for years about the past 11 been meaning to get the restoration underway and only now just starting. Also has the L28.

gilltech Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Bloody hell! Yep that's bad, very bad. So what's the plan, can you cut the whole roof off and replace it with the one from the red parts car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of the roof cross piece will come from the donor plus some side sections plus roof and quarter outer skins. Rest of the car is pretty good.
