I did it in 2 pieces not that hard and my first time doing it.

If i was to have someone weld a round piece of 1/2 metal(blue color) weld in the center and in the back would this hold up in going for a 5x 4 3/4 bolt pattern

I lived i san bernardino for 14 years. Just moved out to vegas 2 years ago. Where in berdoo do you live? I know alot of the z guys out there, but most were into s130's and z32's. I was the lone 240z guy around there.

Hey wickie, what was the name of the shop that blasted your car? I live in the I.E. too (alta loma), and i'm looking for a shop right now. Did the same place blast the shell and spray the primer on it? Also, how did you like the etching primer? Will that seal the bare metal enough to leave just in that primer for a long time? Or does it need to be covered in epoxy primer on top of the etching stuff?
its called Blasting Specialties

paint it with PPG epoxy primer the etching will work but then your going to have to sand it off to spray it with epoxy because the body filler cannot be put over the etching primer

these are the wheels i got for $200
they have a chevy bolt pattern i think is 5X120.7 what can i use to make these fit..Hub centric adaptor 4 to five lug ...i email modern motorsport ltd. but it would be $695 for the rear billet stub axles with the custom bolt pattern...to much for my wallet....
what else can i do any suggestions would the 4 to 5 lug adaptors work? any body have any pictures of what they look like
thanks

I post before regarding some deep waves on my 240z i went to the junk yard found a 260z with strait doors and good hatch just wanted to know if they will fill cause im going tomorrow for them.. Im talking the old ones too to check if there the same.. as for the hatch the 240z hatch has waves also i was putting bondo but did not like how it was turning out so i also found the hatch of the 260z great condition... if the doors fit do i take the whole door with glass and all the mechanism or i don't need the glass....i also found a 280zx turbo basterds took the head damn .....OH and there was also a complete 90 supra turbo motor it was the 7m something like that............

That project is going to cost you alot of money i see alot of rust... Im restoring my own 240z i don't even want to start adding up the receipts cause it going to be alot...an my car didn't have as much rust as yours...out off the top of my head i have spent around $4,000 dollars and im still doing body work....$900 71 240z and Media blast $1,380 Mig welder$500 and other cutting grinding tools.............paints,spray equipment.....If your goin to fix the car you have i would recomend that you media blast the shell since there is alot of rust you will be able to tell how really bad is shell
