Wish I could afford the 260z shell. Would cut my repair bill/time down a lot. My shell has a lot of rust.

Hi Gav, I'm interested in Radiator support panel and Petrol filler surround area in the rear quarter if I'm not too late? (260Z)

Anyone on here know how to get a hold of Nat0? I've Pm'd him a couple of times but no reply...

PM'd you Nat0

Will do. Thanks Nat0

Hi Nat0, I'm restoring my '75 260Z just wondering if your up for another pair of front floor rails with the rear extension by any chance? Cheers Pricey

OMG if only my car was not in a million pieces

Thanks for the help GAV and Rickers. Been trying to find some for a while. The buggered rockers panel is from a dodgy smash repair. So i'll do it right this time...

Id be interested in rear quarters, and the drivers side panel shown below (forget the name) and spoilers if that eventuated.

Thanks Jeff, The more I read, the more I see that most Z cars are the same when you start peeling back the layers. Just thankful that I've got some good support to help where I need it. I'm going to try and do some of the repairs that no one will see like the inner dog legs etc.

So its been ages since my last post and there's been a fare bit of progress. The car has been completely stripped to a rolling shell and handed to my panel beater for blasting and all hanging panels off. He talked me into taking off the rear quarters when he saw the dog legs and a small amount of rust on the rear window surrounds. BEST DECISION EVER... As you can see from the photos, if we hadn't taken them off i would've been looking at bubbles on my nice new doglegs in 3-5 years. Other areas that came to light were the passenger foot well/ lower battery tray, beneath the slam panel, where the A-pillar meets the inner guard, and once all the leaves were vacuumed out from under the beaver panel there was a square box that the blower motor bolts to that was rat s*#t... and just a touch on the firewall. Also found that the car has been in an accident at some point in its life and a pretty shitty attempt at a repair been done on the drivers side, floor is a little beet but easily fixed. So a bit more than i first thought, I'm a little disappointed by how much was found in total but its not the end of the world.

Interested in Dog leg rust repair

Nice example of a prem. Mine is only a 6 with tri attic but purrs like a kitten so don't want to mess with it to much... For now. Going to put time and effort into the z then go back and take a look at the drive train on the Ol' prem Honestly Lurch I haven't seen the new panels from Tabco or MSA I only went with the the panels from dattocam because he advertised and I'm spoiled for choice with his spares. The panels that he can help me with are in pretty good nick and the areas like the fuel filler and floor rails will be fabricated new. Any suggestions are more than welcome. I'll suss out Tabco and MSA
