    Generally it's best to read product reviews before ordering.

    I'm guessing S54.

    The bolster looks different than the E21 Recaros. Looks like a Recaro LS.

    If no cage or reinforcement, consider that the 280Z chassis is a little stiffer.
  6. rturbo 930
    In your position, I'd do the Subaru LSD swap instead, should be more straight forward, and you get a limited slip, and weight gain won't be an issue.

    Did he drive it in the winter too and keep it outside? Goddamn that's a lot of rust.
  8. rturbo 930
    Yup, good move. That car wasn't worth fixing, if it was even fixable by a non-professional. I have a car in far better shape than that one, and I expect I'll cut it up eventually. The new shell looks much better.

    The price doesn't seem too outrageous to me. Even if it's a little high (I have no idea if it is or isn't these days), I personally would just take the hit to have my car back.

    Those might be the worst product photos I've ever seen.

    Nice looking car. Welcome.

    The scheme on the Mazda looks good, and I think that would look better, and would certainly be easier than your original idea. Could also just paint the rockers black if that's the only area you're having issues.

    Yup, strip it of useful parts, to keep for another project or sell onto someone else, scrap the chassis. That one isn't worth the effort. I have a chassis in far better shape than that, and it'll probably end up scrapped as well.
  15. rturbo 930
    Unless the rest of the car is absolutely pristine, I think I'd just scrap it. It looks like the whole roof structure needs to be replaced.
  16. rturbo 930
    Looks like it rotted from the inside of the panel, meaning that's only the tip of the iceberg. I'd do a full inspection of the entire car, but I think there's a good chance you'll be sending that shell to the scrap yard.
  17. rturbo 930
    Taking a look behind the panel to see if it looks like it's been cut up, or just bondo'd over should give you an idea of what will need doing to mount up the bumpers again.
  18. rturbo 930
    Looks great! Nice and tidy.
  19. rturbo 930
    Oh god, you bought that one. Best of luck lol. On the bright side, you can only improve it. Should be sick when it's all done.

    I don't know why you're so hung up on having material behind it. Just butt weld it. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.
  21. rturbo 930
    I'd probably just butt weld it at the top joint. I don't think I've ever seen someone do what you're doing there, mind you, I'm not a body expert.
  22. rturbo 930
    Yes, at the top and bottom of the A pillar, and also at the joint in the back.
  23. rturbo 930
    It's a leaded joint.
  24. rturbo 930
    It has a 240Z rad support, rear strut towers, seat mounts, and rear bumper indents. So not only does it have a lot of botched work done to it, it also has an identity crisis. Could be an early 260Z chassis since it has the crash bumper support structures. I hate to see a Z parted out but I think that's a part out candidate.

    Looks like Cody Loveland likes Datsuns too.
