It's fairly easy to put the lock back in. The shaft that comes out of the lock cylinder snapped on mine so I had to take it out and JB weld the thing together. I put it back in on a new hatch that I installed and theres no problems putting it in. Just dont lose the pieces!

I'm a big fan. It looks real clean. And in a hell of a lot better condition than mine, haha.

I bought my 280z for $400 so it had a lot of surface rust and didn't run. so I put most of my money into getting it to run well and getting it decent looking. i dont have the money for a full restoration or a good paint job so i'm patching a couple small holes and bondo/primering the whole car so it looks decent from afar. I want to drive it a little before i leave for a few months this summer so im just making it good enough so i dont get hassled about it on the road. if you only have $200 i'd say make it look good and prevent it from rusting out more until you save enough money to do it right.
