i cant answer your question, but i would also like to have some sort of bolt guide. i no longer remember what went where.

doglegs, drivers side rocket, sheet metal for the floors, rear lower quarters, and a bunch of square tubing for a rotisserie. the z should be pleased.

mine did... patch panels from tabco, some sheet metal for new floors and various other things, and some metal to build a rotisserie...and a fire extinguisher so my grandmas barn doesnt burn down in case of a fire.

i've spent $800 on my 240z, which was just how much i paid for it, and $2500 on my 280z, again, just how much i paid for it. i can see each of them costing more than $20,000 easily to get them how i want them, though.

i think this is by far my favorite stock 240z color picture taken from here: http://zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/index.html

take a look here for people's experience with showcars bodyparts: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=113366&highlight=showcars

the yellow car looks like a 77-78 280z, sadly

i am thoroughly jealous! $200 for a running car...i just paid $800 for a 240z with a great interior, but tons of rust, and not running. you got a great deal.

glad to hear you saved it instead of junking it!

i bought a '72 240z this weekend - $800. interior is in great condition, and the car is complete. needs work though. quite a bit of it infact, but i guess if i really want a 240z, ill have to make due. they arent popular around here. worst case scenario, ill have to get a new unibody, since the unibody seems to the be the only thing that isn't in good/great condition.

i agree with everything JSM has said. i will offer what i think it's worth. if the seller isnt willing to sell it for that, i move on. its my money, i will spend it how i please.

great time for me not to have any money...ugh edit: its sold

i agree. give the panel some shape, or get some different lights, like ones from a skyline or something. IMO, it looks too plain the way it is now.

why did you opt for the more expensive carbon fiber ZGs over the fiberglass ones? just wondering, because i'm thinking about getting ZGs as well, but after looking at many pictures of fiberglass ZG's, it seems that the fit might be a little off. that seems to cause the top to sometimes flare out too much, which i think looks bad. also seems that the rear of the flare tapers inward too quickly, which i dont like either. however, of the pictures i've seen of carbonfiber ZGs, they look fine. maybe im being too picky or im seeing things, but thats something ive noticed.

well, i forgot how my car goes together. yep, next 6-12 months are gonna be fuuunn. ill have more later, im just getting started.

same here!

so if theyre in bad condition, theyre not really worth anything? ive got a black/gold 10th anniversary 280zx in bad condition that id like to get rid of, but didnt know if it was worthy of being sold as anything but a parts car. someone could probably fix it they really wanted to, but its pretty rusty...

i wish my car had that little rust... lookin good though!

that was the chrome bezel. i should have specified.

on the inside of the cutout, and measuring from the back, the bottom section is almost 10" exactly. on the top section, its ~9 7/8" at the widest part, and ~9 3/8" at the narrowest part. hope that helps.

thats my car
