Interior panels

[Rod F]

Hi guys,

 

I've just joined your forum as I bought a 240Z a few months ago. I was wondering how you approach re-doing your interiors. The plastic panels in my Z are falling apart, as i'd expect for something 30+ years old.

What materials can be used to replace them? Is MDF/fibreboard type material ok? The door trims are on the way out as well.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rod,

Welcome. If you can't source any locally you could always try getting a set on e-bay from US.

Oh, I had my door trims retrimmed for $75 a side. Try looking up DELUXUE TRIMMING in Deer Park Vic in the white pages.

Hey Rod,

http://www.dashboardrestorations.com.au/ can restore your centre console and dashboard not sure about other interior parts. I can't vouch for them as I only got quoted on fixing my centre console and haven't done it yet. It's a lower priority at the moment.

 

For other interior pieces ebay can be great there is also a few places that sell these parts new http://www.datsunrestore.com/catalog.html is one there are a few others like motorsport auto. http://www.zcarparts.com/

 

for places in Australia maybe ask Warren at Zworx. 9587 5500

 

PS: A friend of mine has an inventory of Z parts he would like to part with shortly I'll be posting them up here and on ebay when we get a chance to go through it all.

Hi,

 

I believe ALL ZParts in Sydney had new door trims several months back and the armrests and pull handle in the passenger side.
